Four Nations face-off is just around the corner and potential injury replacements are top of mind as the status of Sidney Crosby, Quinn Hughes and others are unknown. NHL action continues through Sunday and injury replacements must be named by Monday, but Alex Pietrangelo’s spot remains open, with Kings brass pushing for Drew Doughty. Trade chatter is expected to heat up post-tournament, with Boston and St. Louis falling out of the playoff race—Brad Marchand and Brayden Schenn are rumoured trade candidates. Brock Nelson could also be on the move if the Islanders, despite recent success, decide to capitalize on interest, especially with Mathew Barzal injured. Meanwhile, Marcus Pettersson’s extension in Vancouver solidifies their blue line, adding to a strong defensive core under Jim Rutherford’s leadership.

Then, "Iron" Mike Keenan joins us to discuss writing his new book, trading Savard for Chelios as a young executive and divvying up minutes amongst a superstar-laden team for the '87 Canada Cup.
