Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne begin the national hour with Sportsnet’s Ryan Leslie to examine the Calgary Flames acquiring forwards Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko and two draft picks. The trio goes on to discuss contributions from the Flames’ veterans including Jonathan Huberdeau and Rasmus Andersson, Dustin Wolf’s success as a rookie, and what the future holds for Kuzmenko in Philadelphia (2:00). Afterwards, Frank Seravalli joins the show to break down the NHL’s projected salary cap increase over the next few years, what it means for player contracts, whether every market can spend to the cap ceiling, the implications for pending free agents like Mikko Rantanen, and much more (27:00).
