Connor McDavid despondent after another Edmonton Oilers loss, Nazem Kadri All-Star Game snub, evaluating market value for every NHL team, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian laments his Dallas Cowboys once again losing in the first round of the playoffs and then asks Hailey and guest co-host Dom Lusczyszyn if the Cowboys are the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NFL.

Then, the group discusses Connor McDavid’s despondent press conference following the Edmonton Oilers 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators over the weekend, and Ken Holland’s failure as a GM in the hard-cap era, how to assess Nazem Kadri’s true value in the midst of his breakout season for the Colorado Avalanche, Shayna Goldman and Dom’s piece evaluating the market value of every team’s roster, if the Montreal Canadiens-Arizona Coyotes matinee on ESPN+ has a strange appeal for viewers, and more.

Plus, to close out the show in Multiple Choice Madness, the group answers questions about whether the NHL should adopt a Nickelodeon version of their broadcasts like the NFL, whether every NHL team really needs an All-Star Game representative or not, and, in honor of Chris Pronger’s imminent St. Louis Blues jersey retirement, which one defenseman from the 2000s would you pick to win a Game 7.
