Winger Winger - Is Tavares the Answer?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee are back together and kick off 2023 by discussing Canada's overtime win over Slovakia in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors, Connor Bedard's imposing stretch and which NHL teams should consider tanking for him. Two-time Stanley Cup champion and Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster Craig Simpson joins the show (41:24) to catch up with the Leafs and discuss tonight's matchup against the St. Louis Blues, Matt Murray vs. Ilya Samsonov, concerns for John Tavares' offensive production and if he should be moved out to the wing. Later, Blues' general manager Doug Armstrong gives his take (1:06:44) on his team's season so far, how he approaches team-building and trades, and why his system is geared for success in the playoffs.
