JD reacts to the Maple Leafs activity, or lack thereof, at the NHL trade deadline. The Athletic's James Mirtle joins JD to compare Kyle Dubas' tenure in Toronto to Brad Treliving, if the litany of no-move clauses stumped the Leafs trade creativity, Craig Berube's imprint and if he has a future with the Leafs, why the Leafs considered trading Matthew Knies, how Auston Matthews complicates the Leafs direction, what the Leafs are sacrificing by prioritizing a retool over a rebuild, and if no-move clauses will become harder to acquire. The hour ends with JD's thoughts on the start of the World Baseball Classic.  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.

JD and Colby Armstrong, Sportsnet NHL analyst, tell trade deadline stories before analyzing the Nicholas Roy trade to the Colorado Avalanche, Kyle Dubas' tenure with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the end of Sidney Crosby's career. Later (29:00), JD further breaks down the Maple Leafs trade sending Roy to the Avalanche. JD and the producer's then touch on the Raptors concerning loss and the Buffalo Bills trade for wide receiver DJ Moore.  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.

Would you make a big move at the NHL trade deadline? We don't think Kyle Dubas will make a big trade due to Evgeni Malkin potentially being suspended. The game turned on a goalie interference call. We hear from Penguins fans on Evgeni Malkin.

Sean thinks that Evgeni Malkin will be suspended three games for his high stick on Rasmus Dahlin. Will anything change Kyle Dubas' mind at the deadline? Sean thinks it's more likely the Penguins add a defenseman before the deadline. Joe is ready to hand the reins to Sergei Murashov!

Was the NHL Trade Deadline a dud? Not just for the Penguins, but the entire league was pretty quiet. NHL Network spent time breaking down the Penguins deal for a guy that has 3 points this season. The talking heads gave the Pens props for this move and said Kyle Dubas may have put together the best 4th line in the NHL.

We are 1 hour away from the NHL Trade Deadline. The Penguins have yet to make a move. Will they? Is it a failure on the part of Kyle Dubas if they stand pat? Could a small move pay big dividends the way some of the others have for Dubas this season? We also reacted to the Evgeni Malkin play from last night that could end up in suspension and Sidney Crosby practicing today. Would you rather the Penguins make a splashy buy or a splashy sell? The guys are OK if a little deal is made. BREAKING: The Penguins have acquired Elmer Soderblom from the Red Wings for a 3rd round pick. Elmer is a massive human – 6'8, 252 pounds, but has just 3 points all season. Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show for some Fair Game w/ Farabaugh. Nick doesn't expect us to know the answer to the QB question on Monday, but maybe by the end of next week. Who is dictating terms here? Nick said the Steelers probably won't offer Aaron Rodgers anything until he makes it clear that he wants to play. What will the contract look like for Malik Willis and is it too steep for the Steelers? Nick thinks Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy are in lockstep here and they want Rodgers back. Nick thinks the Steelers will add 2 WR in free agency and 2-3 in the draft. He expects them to make a signing ‘pretty early' into free agency on Monday, but doesn't expect it to be a ‘big' name right away. Nick thinks the WR on the trade market are likely too rich for the Steelers to make a play on. Jalen Tolbert is a name Nick mentioned – citing his ties to McCarthy from Dallas. Nick doesn't think the Steelers are going to be too aggressive in pursuit of Kenneth Walker, but expects them to be active in the secondary RB market.

Was the NHL Trade Deadline a dud? Not just for the Penguins, but the entire league was pretty quiet. NHL Network spent time breaking down the Penguins deal for a guy that has 3 points this season. The talking heads gave the Pens props for this move and said Kyle Dubas may have put together the best 4th line in the NHL. A recap of the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline. Did the Penguins do enough? Donny Football Debrief – If the Steelers get bad news on Broderick Jones, could they look into Taylor Decker as a 1-year stopgap? A massive LT visited the team today as part of the pre-draft process. Could they consider tackle in the 1st round again? Will we see an NFL player box Logan Paul?

Dubas' Discourse – We listened to what Kyle Dubas said to the media today following the NHL Trade Deadline. Open Phone Friday.

We are 1 day away from the NHL Trade Deadline as the surprise Penguins are all of the sudden a buyer. But how big of one? Will the Pens go after someone as notable as Vincent Trocheck? We may see Kyle Dubas take it slow and not go overboard, even though the Pens need center help. Shane Wright was a name we broached – a center with the Kraken that is freshly 22-years-old and had 44 points last season.

We may see Kyle Dubas take it slow and not go overboard, even though the Pens need center help. Shane Wright was a name we broached – a center with the Kraken that is freshly 22-years-old and had 44 points last season. What should the Penguins do with Evgeni Malkin? The guys think it only makes sense to re-sign Geno after the season if he plays well and helps this team make it to the playoffs. Did Kyle Dubas already have another plan in his mind about Malkin before the Penguins season played out? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray could foresee Aaron Rodgers giving the Steelers an answer off-the-record like he did last year as this thing could string out for another year. Ray admitted that some of Rodgers' comments yesterday made the situation a little bit more ‘murky.' Ray doesn't expect this to be a question mark until June again this time around. Ray isn't sure how likely it is that any of the outside free agents would come in and be the Steelers QB. Ray talked about the chances Will Howard and Mason Rudolph have to steer the ship. Ray reminded the guys that they will not give Howard the keys without having seen him in any game action. The guys noted that Jacoby Brissett, despite a 1-11 record last season, had numbers eerily similar to Rodgers in 2025. Ray thinks Kenneth Gainwell will explore his market in free agency after winning team MVP. Chris gave Ray some WR names to pick from and he chose Romeo Doubs, thinking he'd be around $15M/year player. How much would the Steelers have to offer Calvin Austin to get him back? Ray said the versatility of Jalen Ramsey allows the Steelers to explore multiple avenues when it comes to the defensive backfield this offseason. Which WR is the best in this draft? Ray is surprised there wasn't more news around Carnell Tate running a 4.52 40-yard dash. Ray thinks WR is the first move the Steelers make on Monday, either via trade or free agency.

We waited with bated breath as Aaron Rodgers was being set to join The Pat McAfee Show. Donny was tasked with collecting the Q & A between the guys on the show and Rodgers. Is he coming back? Is he retiring? Is he going to test the market? Has Aaron Rodgers said anything? The guys took their guesses on what Rodgers will do. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. On the heels of the Aaron Rodgers interview, TK said confidently that Sidney Crosby will play hockey into his 40s. Tyler thinks the waiting game Kyle Dubas will play with Evgeni Malkin and his contract is the smart move to focus on the rest of this season. With the trade deadline looming, is Dubas going to stand pat? TK thinks there will be moves to improve the team, but isn't sure if it will be a sizable acquisition like Vincent Trocheck. TK thinks Trocheck could be swayed into the hometown thing and playing for the team he grew up watching.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Penguins have five points in their last the games since returning from the Olympic break, all without Sidney Crosby. Bob is very excited about where the Penguins are now. Do the Penguins NEED to win a playoff series? Stanley Cup Champion, Penguins analyst Jay Caufield joined the show. Kyle Dubas deserves a ton of credit for this season.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now joined the show. Dan reported that Kyle Dubas and Evgeni Malkin are supposed to meet this week to talk about next season. Dan doesn't really think the Penguins need significant additions. Bubba Chandler has walked seven batters in three innings, should we be concerned about this? Joe is expecting growing pains with Chandler.

Dan Kingerski reported that Kyle Dubas and Evgeni Malkin are supposed to meet this week to talk about next season. Dan doesn't really think the Penguins need significant additions. Dan doesn't think that Sergei Murashov would be as good as Stuart Skinner at the moment.

Stanley Cup Champion, Penguins analyst Jay Caufield joined the show. Kyle Dubas deserves a ton of credit for this season. He thinks Sunday's victory against Vegas was a huge statement. Jay is very hesitant to make a huge move because of how the players and staff have worked together. Evgeni Malkin has deserved the chance to come back next season!

What does the future look like for Evgeni Malkin? Following Saturday's shootout loss, Geno shared with the media that he will not be going over contract stuff with Kyle Dubas and the Penguins until the offseason. What should happen? Is it as easy as a 2-year deal for the Penguins legend? It's hard to deny what Malkin has done this season after we thought this would be the swansong.

Is it as easy as a 2-year deal for the Penguins legend? It's hard to deny what Malkin has done this season after we thought this would be the swansong. A slew of topics from today's show. Makai Lemon reportedly ‘bombed' his interviews at the combine. Is he going to fall in the draft and/or be there for the Steelers at 21? Should the Steelers draft him?

One of the potential free agent signings may have his price coming down, which should have the Steelers interested. That player is Malik Willis. The QB was first rumored to be looking at $40M/year on the open market, but the latest from ESPN projected Willis at more of a 20-25 million dollar per year player, which changes the calculus a bit. That number would have him as the 20th highest-paid QB in football. Would you do that deal? Would you pay Malik Willlis $25M/year? NHL writer Sean Gentille from The Athletic joined the show. Sean said he would do nothing at the trade deadline if he was Kyle Dubas running the Penguins. He said they can act like they are a good team, but not a Stanley Cup contender. Sean anticipated the Penguins being a bad hockey team and they have been anything but. Why isn't Dan Muse the leader for the Jack Adams award for best coach? Sean thinks the Penguins can do something small like adding a right-handed defenseman to the fold. Sean said a big part of the Penguins success is a lot of the unknown, lottery ticket types, hitting across the board whether it be draft picks or free agent pickups. Sean expected guys like Anthony Mantha to be on the move at this point as the trade deadline approaches. Sean described the goaltending as ‘incredible' from Arturs Silovs and Stuart Skinner. Sean wants to pump the brakes on Sergei Murashov and let the current guys do their thing in the NHL. He said the potential is there and the excitement is there, but we have to slow our roll thinking he will be a slam-dunk everyday goalie. Sean thinks the Penguins should be open for business in the offseason with Evgeni Malkin because he is still a productive player, but he understands the ‘wait & see' method. How good has Egor Chinakhov been in Pittsburgh?

Post-Gazette Penguins insider King Jemison takes a look at the team's trade of Tristan Jarry and how Kyle Dubas' return keeps looking better and better after their 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. This show is presented by FanDuel. First, what does Sidney Crosby's injury mean moving forward? Can Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the team continue to put in solid performances like Thursday's? How was Dubas able to turn Jarry's "untradable" contract into Stuart Skinner, Sam Girard and multiple draft assets? How good was Arturs Silovs against the Devils on Thursday? Can he stay dialed in? Is he the starting goaltender, or is Skinner? Does it matter? How important will the penalty kill led by guys like Blake Lizotte and Noel Acciari be for the rest of the season? King tackles those topics and more, plus tips his cap to some individual brilliance from Egor Chinakhov. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK reacted to the news of Sidney Crosby being out for ‘at least' a month as the Penguins pursue a playoff spot. Tyler expects Evgeni Malkin to step up, even at 39-years-old, like he has done in the past without Sid. He thinks Kyle Dubas will be aggressive as the trade deadline approaches. Dubas made another trade TK liked yesterday, moving on from one defenseman to acquire another. Tyler said it's very good that Geno got this time off because he's at the age where that is necessary in the middle of the season. Tyler admitted he would give Jack Hughes a standing ovation tomorrow night if he was at the game. TK told us a wild story about an injury he suffered off-the-ice during his career that he had to slyly lie about.

The big breaking news of the day is Sidney Crosby being out for ‘at least' 4 weeks after the lower-body injury suffered last week in the Olympics. Does this ruin the Penguins' season? Historically, Evgeni Malkin has stepped up big when Crosby has been absent, but can he do that at 39? One of our biggest fans, and a massive Penguins fan, told us he was ‘spiraling' with this news. For as fun as this season has been and as fun as the US winning a gold medal was – was it all worth it? The guys don't think we should just accept the fact that the Olympics could very well cost the Penguins a playoff spot. Was Sidney Crosby really that close to playing in the Gold Medal game?

It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed Team Canada vs. Team Czechia, Connor McDavid's success at the games, the State of the Nation survey results, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Winter Games and what everyone's biggest takeaway was for Canada. Given that the standard in Canada for hockey is gold or bust, it's hard not to be disappointed with how things ended, especially given how dominant our boys were despite the loss. Either way, any excuses the fellas could come up with were all punctuated with the fact that the team lost the most important game of the tournament.Changing gears, we looked ahead to the Oilers' first game back in their stretch drive and how these three games in California could end up among the most important of the year. Given that these are three Pacific Division opponents, finding ways to get points from those them is crucial for setting them up down the stretch. From there, the boys spoke about Brett Kulak being traded from Pittsburgh to Colorado, and how Kyle Dubas just keeps adding assets to his arsenal for whenever they decide to rebuild. Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Liam's Tenable game. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went for another round of Liam's grouping game. Think you know how all of these topics fit together and where they rank? Props to Liam for coming up with a game, as the usual quizmaster didn't have the time to get one done for today. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

On this episode of Canucks Talk with Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance, Matt Bradley joins to share his experience representing Team Italy at the Olympics and what it meant to compete against hockey's elite.

Jannik Hansen weighs in on keeping veterans engaged during a rebuild and the long-term consequences if this reset stretches to five years. Plus, the big question: is Elias Pettersson the face of the franchise — or should the Canucks explore trading him for maximum value?

Is Mike McCarthy the new favorite to be the next head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers? That feeling is starting to rise up. Is that the best option for the Steelers? If he can develop a QB, it can be very beneficial, but he doesn't have the long-term game left in him. Poni said he would take McCarthy over Brian Flores at this point. Is anyone starting to come around on this? A caller asked if a McCarthy hire would result in an Aaron Rodgers return. Calls on the idea of Mike McCarthy as next head coach.
