The NHL offseason kicked into overdrive as Brady Tkachuk was dealt to the Florida Panthers, creating a family reunion with brother Matthew while leaving the Senators armed with a haul of draft picks but little immediate help.

They dive into the NHL's investigation clearing Mike Babcock, the Oilers nearing signing Babcock as head coach, the perception from players on his coaching mentality and his return to the league. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger joins to discuss Matthew Knies' trade discussions, the potential deal for the Maple Leafs and Connor Hellebuyck's possible exit from Winnipeg.

The Leafs made a surprise hire by naming Jim Hiller as head coach, a move that aligns with GM Chayka’s analytical approach but raises questions if past relationships with key players factored into the decision. In Vegas, the Golden Knights continued their aggressive organizational approach by moving on from John Tortorella and promoting longtime successor Ryan Craig, while GM Kelly McCrimmon defended the franchise’s win-at-all-costs reputation by pointing to three Stanley Cup Final appearances in just nine seasons. Around the league, trade speculation continues to swirl around Connor Hellebuyck despite Winnipeg not actively shopping the star goaltender. Other potential trade candidates remain a hot topic as well, with Matthew Knies viewed as a highly valuable but unlikely Leafs trade chip, Buffalo facing difficult decisions on Bowen Byram’s future, and Vincent Trocheck once again generating speculation after changing agents and continuing to seek a fresh start away from New York.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
