Emma Lingan, Michael Augello and Jim Parsons discuss the Panarin and Bjugstad trades, Jake Sanderson's month, Robert Thomas, the Jets and much more
The Wraparound has more rapid-fire NHL and hockey topics as the Olympics begin.
Here's what Emma Lingan, Michael Augello and Jim Parsons discussed:
1:00: The New York Rangers traded Artemi Panarin to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for prospect Liam Greentree along with conditional third- and fourth-round picks. Thoughts about this acquisition and Panarin's fit on the team?
5:48: The St. Louis Blues traded Nick Bjugstad to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick and forward prospect Thomas Bordeleau. What do you think of this trade for both sides?
8:48: The NHL has nearly reached the Olympic break. What teams do you think will benefit the most from having two weeks off to reset and recharge for a big final push to the season?
13:50: With 17 points in 16 games in January, Jake Sanderson put together the second-best offensive month by a Senators defenseman in franchise history. Is Sanderson the most valuable player to the Senators right now?
16:03: St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas had a minor leg procedure and is expected to be out through the Olympic break as his name continues in trade rumors. What do you think a reasonable asking price is for Robert Thomas, and do you think he'll be traded?
19:56: The Chicago Blackhawks have a ton of pending UFAs that they could end up using as trade bait for this year's deadline. Who do you see moving out for the Blackhawks at this deadline?
22:32: Nothing has gone right for the Winnipeg Jets this season, and they've now lost 18 of their last 25 games. What do you think was the biggest reason the Jets weren't able to replicate the same success this year?
26:10: The NHL makes its return to the Olympics for the first time in 12 years. Who is one player that you think lost their best chance to suit up for the Olympics in 2018 and 2022?
