Real Kyper & Bourne

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne, after a spirited debate about the merits of three-on-three OT, are joined by former NHL head coach Dean Evason (5:29) to discuss how players are in better shape these days and the lack of training camp and preseason games affecting player readiness. Plus, he gives his thoughts on his former employer in the Columbus Blue Jackets, including his thoughts on Kirill Marchenko, and gets into the idea of playing guys like Connor McDavid a ton on a nightly basis - could there be repercussions later on in the season if players get worn down? Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee hear from Devils goaltender Connor Hellebuyck alongside his head coach Sheldon Keefe following his first regular season action of the season, discuss the dollars and cents behind the salary cap, get into Oilers head coach Mike Babcock's comments on healthy scratching defenceman Jake Walman, discuss whether or not it was right for Senators owner Michael Andlauer to make some comments on a recent podcast appearance, and chat about Wild GM Bill Guerin discussing Quinn Hughes.
