Patrick Kane “not like the happiest” after Vladimir Tarasenko trade, Erik Karlsson headed to the Edmonton Oilers?, the Western Conference playoff race is wide open, and more

On a brand new Monday edition of The Athletic Hockey Show, Julian takes Ian’s seat and Mark Lazerus takes Julian’s seat as the guys set your week off right and discuss Patrick Kane’s reaction to Vladimir Tarasenko being traded to the New York Rangers last week, and the latest on his Chicago Blackhawks future, a potential Erik Karlsson trade to the Edmonton Oilers, if Jakob Chychrun will be on the move soon, lots of imperfect teams in the Western Conference playoff race, Joshua Kloke’s “Imaginary NHL trade deadline deals if it was more like the NBA trade deadline” article, Laz’s A1 “NHL masochism: Why assistants dream of the hard, (mostly) joyless move to head coach” piece, and the guys hand out this week’s Jack Adams Winner of the Week award to close things out.
