This week on The Hockey News on the 'A' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams:
- Patrick sat down with Hershey Bears VP of hockey operations Bryan Helmer. A veteran of over 1,100 AHL games as a player, two seasons as a coach, and the last seven seasons as an executive — Helmer had an interesting perspective on the NHL and AHL trade deadlines from all angles.
- Prospect of the week: Ville Heinola, Winnipeg Jets. Heinola is arguably the best defenseman in the AHL, and the 22-year-old is a hot topic in the prospect world. Patrick and Jacob take a look at his development.
- Could Karl Taylor become a coach in Nashville? Fans don't seem to love John Hynes, and with Barry Trotz coming in, there could be changes. Do the Preds give their prospect whisperer the keys, or is that not even a possibility?
- The Chicago Blackhawks are the team of the week, with analysis on Lukas Reichel, Alec Regula and Isaak Phillips.
