Ryan Kennedy and Mike Stephens break down Trevor Zegras' extension, Ottawa Senators prospects on the waiver wire, pre-season standouts and much more.
Jamie Drysdale and Trevor ZegrasThe NHL has reached the final week of counting down to the beginning of the regular season, and The Hockey News Podcast has lots to discuss.
Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras kicked off the week by finally getting that contract he was looking for, at three years and a $5.75-million cap hit. Will this bridge deal pay off for the 22-year-old and the team?
The Ducks then took advantage of the NHL waiver wire by claiming Lassi Thomson from the Ottawa Senators. The Sens then put another first-round pick, Jacob Bernard-Docker, on waivers on Tuesday, along with Egor Sokolov. How risky is the waiver wire at this time of year, and what could happen to the Sens if they all get claimed?
Also discussed on the podcast was Andrei Vasilevskiy's injury leaving the Tampa Bay Lightning without their elite starter for at least a month, the Minnesota Wild re-signing Mats Zuccarello and Marcus Foligno, players who are making the best impressions in the NHL pre-season and much more.
