Boomer, Pinder and Rhett are joined by TSN's Darren Dreger for another loaded edition of The Insider Hotline as they dive into some of the biggest stories from around the NHL. Dregs shares the latest on the Edmonton Oilers' pursuit of Mike Babcock and what could be next as questions continue to surround his potential return behind an NHL bench. The guys also discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring Jim Hiller as their next head coach and what the move says about the direction of the organization under new GM John Chayka. The conversation shifts to Vegas, where the Golden Knights move on from John Tortorella after his run to the Stanley Cup Final and hand the reins over to Ryan Craig, while also examining the future of Rasmus Andersson and whether a long-term extension remains the most likely outcome. Along the way, the crew touches on the futures of Darnell Nurse and Morgan Rielly, plus one of the biggest rumours in hockey as speculation continues to grow around a potential Connor Hellebuyck trade and what a franchise-altering move like that would mean for the Winnipeg Jets. From coaching changes to trade rumours and everything in between, Dregs provides insight on all the latest headlines from around the NHL.Video Link: https://youtu.be/yBLNauUyWW0#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #torontomapleleafs CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

Dregs shares what he's hearing about Hellebuyck's future, why speculation continues to grow, and what factors could ultimately determine whether the Jets keep or move their star netminder.

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.    It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   TSN's Ryan Rishaug wrapped up today's program to bring us the absolute latest inside scoop from the rink. Once he and Darren Dreger finally settled their ongoing network "beef," the boys got straight to work on a chaotic off-season board in Oil Country. Rishaug puts on his GM hat to map out what a realistic Darnell Nurse trade actually looks like and what kind of return Stan Bowman can realistically command. From there, the conversation shifts to the bench—unpacking the toxic fallout of the Mike Babcock coaching rumors. Rishaug weighs in on explosive reports that hiring Babcock could actively cripple the Oilers' chances of landing top-tier UFAs this summer and potentially fracture a locker room that's already under immense pressure.   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.
