The Kings and Ducks strengthen their rosters in the west and are the Red Wings and Senators poised to crack the top 8 in the East?

On the Wednesday roundtable, Rob Pizzo and Joe Smith discuss the Alex DeBrincat trade to Detroit from Ottawa, how the Red Wings and Senators time to make noise in the East is now, how the Lightning and Bruins perhaps will take a step back next season and Nick Foligno and Corey Perry mentoring Connor Bedard in Chicago.

Eric Stephens joins Rob and Joe to profile a very active off-season for the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks, including Pierre Luc Dubois joining the Kings and Alex Killorn and Radko Gudas signing with the Ducks.

Plus the guys take a look at some of the still unsigned free agents, including Matt Dumba, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane and we stick tap the careers of Michael Stone and Patric Hörnqvist.
