Expansion Opposition with Brian Burke

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome former NHL executive and PWHL executive director Brian Burke in-studio to start the second hour. They discuss NHL load management, divisional vs. 1-8 playoff seeding and Canadian teams' cap disadvantage. Then, with the Coyotes' move to Salt Lake, he gives an argument against expansion. Later, he shares who he thinks will end up with the final Wild Card spot in the East, his pick in the Hart race and teams he likes in round 1. Finally, they regroup with Sam McKee for news & notes where they go through tonight's action, packed with playoff implications.
