Charged Up: A Raw Charge Podcast

After a two-season hiatus, Charged Up has returned! Now co-hosted by Matthew Esteves and Hardev Lad. In this episode, the gents catch up on life, give quick previews of every other division in the league, provide more in-depth opinions and predictions on the Atlantic Division, and get into the roster management of the Lightning. This episode was recorded before Alex Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers Sunday afternoon.

On this episode, Hardev joins the show once again as we both decide to take a look at some players in free agency that the Lightning could acquire. We cover goaltenders, defensemen, and forwards that could interest the Lightning. Though, admittedly, our personal opinions sway some of the conversation into a direction that doesn’t entirely cover the topic. We also discuss the Lightning’s challenge moving forward in regards to remaining competitive and how general manager Steve Yzerman has a challenging task ahead of him.
