With the Los Angeles Kings making a big splash over the weekend by signing right wing Adrian Kempe to an eight-year, $85 million contract extension, the guys are joined by The Athletic’s Eric Stephens to talk about it, the state of the Pacific Division, and how star players are apparently just not going to make it to free agency anymore. Plus, along with The Athletic’s Shayna Goldman, the guys discuss the New Jersey Devils losing Jack Hughes for eight weeks following finger surgery to repair a “non-hockey” injury he sustained last Friday at a team dinner, as well as which teams should be worried about their seasons halfway through November.Hosts: Max Bultman and Mark LazerusWith: Eric Stephens and Shayna GoldmanExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Chris FlanneryWatch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VTm9VjkFSubscribe to The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
