- What are the major trades that have happened in the QMJHL up to this point?
- Will and Jamie dive into the mailbag to discuss playoff seeding and whether there should be fewer division games and a more balanced Quebec/Maritimes schedule.
- The Columbus Blue Jackets are the NHL squad featured this week. Jordan Dumais is one of two prospects in the 'Q' right now, and there are some alumni playing in the ECHL, AHL and NHL.
