Amalie Benjamin, staff writer for NHL.com, joined WBUR's Morning Edition host Bob Oakes to discuss the upcoming season. 

Dan Rosen is joined by NHL Network’s Kevin Weekes, Kevin discusses the Penguins/Wild trade and explains why he thinks Jason Zucker is a great fit for Pittsburgh. Kevin also chats about McDavid’s injury, the NY Rangers goalie situation, the struggles for Pekka Rinne, and offers some sage advice for Filip Forsberg (5:00). NHL.com’s Amalie Benjamin hops on the line from Vancouver to talk about Sedin Week, a unique story she’s working on with Cammi Granato, and what the Boston Bruins may be looking for at the deadline (30:30).

Dan Rosen and Shawn Roarke wonder if the Sheldon Keefe honeymoon in Toronto is over, chat about the NJ Devils future and what teams may be a landing spot for Taylor Hall (5:00 (x-apple-data-detectors://0) ). They welcome in Nashville Predators radio analyst Hal Gill to talk about PK Subban’s return to Nashville, the Preds goalie situation, and why John Carlson and Cale Makar have had special seasons (15:00 (x-apple-data-detectors://1) ).  Amalie Benjamin checks in from Boston to discuss how the Bruins are handling the injured Patrice Bergeron and Pastrnak’s chances of scoring 50 goals in 50 games (37:00).

Amalie Benjamin is not kidding when she talks about her need of reading.  She is hardly, if ever, without a book or access to one.  She has a goal this year to read 50 books.  That’s a noble goal for anyone, let alone the mother of a young, growing family, and a traveling sports columnist for NHL.com. Amalie’s life as a reader comes to life as she talks about growing up in a household with dedicated reading parents and having a best friend, a high school history teacher, who’s an endless resource of good book referrals. Amalie is just as comfortable talking about Hop on Pop and other children’s books as she is about real-life journalistic thrillers:  Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm, and Bad Blood.  She really shines when she makes herself vulnerable.  Her husband, fellow journalist and Dueling with Kings author Daniel Barbarisi, immersed himself deeply into the world of professional sports betting, sometimes putting more on the line than he let on.  For anyone who’s ever felt the intoxication of winning, and the despair of losing, you’ll identify with Amalie and Daniel.
