Cup Final early reax; Kiviranta’s long-term value; landing spots for Holtby, Pietrangelo; Kings’ bright future

Pete and Rob are back for some early reaction to the Lightning-Stars Stanley Cup Final and a forecast for the rest of the series. The guys debate Joel Kiviranta’s long-term fantasy value after a breakout postseason, how Anton Khudobin deserves a reward for a stellar contract year and the Lightning’s recent history of bouncing back. They also discuss Steven Stamkos’ potential impact if/when he returns and look ahead to free agency (begins Oct. 9) with the best landing spots for elite defenseman Alex Pietrangelo and goalie Braden Holtby. They also give some reasons to be excited about the Kings’ direction leading up to the 2020 NHL Draft (Oct. 6-7).
