The conversation shifts to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman (24:44), who shares insights on Carlson's trade implications, the asking price for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and the current winger market. They speculate on Bobby McMann's future and the likelihood of the Leafs opting for a retool versus a rebuild. Finally, they discuss which teams will be most active as the deadline approaches.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour discussing reports that the Maple Leafs are seeking a first-round pick in return for Nick Roy. They boys debate whether that return is realistic and if the team should move him if the price isn't met. They also consider whether bigger roster moves are coming now or in the offseason, and whether they trust the current front office to execute them. Later, they welcome Michael Traikos of The Hockey News to reflect on past trade deadline coverage and share his expectations for this year: will it be active or relatively quiet? The trio dive into Toronto's asking price for Roy, the Oilers' recent moves, Buffalo's ongoing difficulty attracting players despite winning, and the status of the pending Colton Parayko trade.

Confirmation that Milan’s Olympic rink has been accidentally built three feet short—an odd mistake Ray says won’t affect roster decisions, though the NHLPA’s threat to pull players if construction isn’t finished is seen mostly as pressure to keep organizers on schedule. In St. Louis, Jordan Binnington was pulled after two goals on five shots, leading to a heated bench moment Ray felt should’ve stayed in the room, but the guys don’t think it harms his Olympic chances. Washington’s six-game heater continued with a 7–1 rout of San Jose, but they face a tough balance between supporting Ovechkin and protecting young assets. Rasmus Dahlin’s major on Trevor Zegras was the right call, and the review process—and Zegras’ growing maturity under Rick Tocchet—earned praise. A healthier Leafs squad is grinding out wins behind a heavy third line of Nick Roy, Dakota Joshua, and Bobby McMann, who drove the result against Florida, while the Panthers look far from last year’s Cup winners as Toronto continues its road trip. Plus, in Ask Ray and Dregs Anything... should Brind'Amour have been considered for Team Canada? will Jay Woodcroft get another HC job? and a couple of amazing stories from Ray about coaches he ticked off.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
