Evason Exits Minny

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the bizarre situation in Chicago and their 'organizational decision' to keep Corey Perry out of the lineup indefinitely. They are joined by NHL Network's Brian Lawton (7:25), who weighs in on Perry's situation, the Oilers starting to pick up some momentum, why trading this early in the year is so difficult and the parity across the league. Later, Tocchet makes Kuzmenko a healthy scratch and the Lightning get a boost with Vasilevskiy back in the crease. Finally, the guys react live to breaking news of the Wild cutting ties with head coach Dean Evason.
