The Latest with Elliotte Friedman: Breaking Down the Blockbusters

Jeff and Elliotte kick off the show breaking down a busy day of blockbusters starting with Pierre-Luc Dubois heading to the Capitals. They discuss why the Kings moved on from PLD, how much Quinton Byfield’s role was a factor in the decision, why Dubios never adjusted to the Kings, and why Washington is a good fit for the former third overall pick. Next, the pair get into the Dallas Stars' decision to send Ty Dellandrea to the Sharks and if it could be a precursor for another move, along with Barclay Goodrow move to San Jose. Later, Jeff and Elliotte chat about the trade that sent Jacob Markström to the New Jersey Devils, how the Flames and Markström approached the deal, the recent trend on goalie transactions, and what Kevin Bahl brings to the Flames. The duo wrap up today's episode with their expectations for free agent defenceman on July 1st, what the Senators are looking at adding, and much more! The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
