Schaefer's Ridiculous Rookie Season + Utah's Interest in Thomas

Matt Marchese rides solo on today's show and recaps a busy weekend in the NHL. Thomas Hickey (04:42), former NHL forward and Islanders analyst, joins to discuss Matthew Schaefer's electric rookie season, how he's been able to maintain his hot start, and the positive impact he's had around the organization. The pair also take some time to chat about the Maple Leafs' outlook with Auston Matthews at the helm, Travis Sanheim's ceiling in Philly, and the other Flyers on the roster with extra upside. After a Mike Futa-less edition of the "Futa Five" (26:30), Matt welcomes Sportsnet's Sam Cosentino (31:51) to the show! He weighs in on Jordan Binnington's value ahead of the deadline, what's left for the Wild to do after acquiring Quinn Hughes, the Canadiens' array of assets in the cupboard, and the teams to watch as Friday's deadline nears. Later, Cobe Bagley (55:41) of KSL Sports Utah wraps up today's show with thoughts on the Mammoth's interest in Robert Thomas, the other names on the team's radar, what's next for Nick Schmaltz, and Salt Lake City's growth as a hockey city.
