Today We Look at the Fallout of Three Big NHL Offseason Trades & How Their Teams Are Helped By Them

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired Patrik Laine but where does Laine fit in to the lineup and what are the Habs plans for integrating him into the team on and off the ice? 

Laura Saba of Locked On Canadiens joins us to discuss who benefits and who loses from the Laine trade and who will play with the newest Habs player. 

The Ottawa Senators have acquired goalie Linus Ullmark and some veterans to try to make the playoffs this season. Is this the the year the Sens finally end their playoff drought? Ross Levitan of Locked On Senators joins us to discuss this and all the latest news from Sens Central as we get closer to training camp. 

Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz traded away unhappy goaltending prospect Yaroslav Askarov to the San Jose Sharks. Did the Predators get enough in return for Askarov and how do we assess Trotz's first year as GM in Nashville? 

Ann Kimmel of Locked On Predators joins us to discuss the trade and the Preds outlook heading into the 2024-25 NHL season and beyond.
