Modern Hockey Hitting with Adam Oates

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee react to the Vegas Golden Knights extending Shea Theodore to a 7-year extension. Then, Hall of Famer Adam Oates (6:51) weighs in on why perennially elite power-play units have gotten off to slow starts, the adjustment period that comes with switching teams for the first time, modern hockey's confounding hitting culture and Lane Hutson's development in Montreal. Later, they regroup with Sam for news and notes - Montgomery goes off on Marchand, the unveiling of 4 Nations faceoff jerseys and Sam Bennett's extension negotiations progressing slowly in Florida.
