Then, the guys jump into an Olympics recap and discuss Slovakia’s Juraj Slafkovsky’s special performance en route to a tournament MVP award and a potential jump to the top of this year’s NHL Draft, Brock Faber shouldering the load on Team USA’s blue line, Finland as the gold medal winner, and more.

Plus, the guys talk about some interesting players from Corey’s latest college, junior, and European free agent rankings who could find NHL homes, including Ben Meyers, Andrei Kuzmenko, and Strauss Mann, and they close things out with a discussion about prospects that could be moved at the trade deadline, with particular interest on the New York Rangers and Colorado Avalanche.
