How to bring back blockbuster trades to the NHL, and sitting stars ahead of the trade deadline

Ian and Sean discuss ways to bring back blockbuster trades in the NHL, with apologies to Blockbuster Video. Also, with the Coyotes sitting Jakob Chychrun, and other teams following suit with their potential trade targets ahead of the deadline, shouldn't San Jose do the same with Tim Meier, and the Blackhawks with Patrick Kane? Next, another Stadium Series game is upon us this weekend, and the NHL will try something new next month with an animated broadcast.

Jesse Granger then joins the show for "Granger Things" to discuss teams to consider wagering on before the trade deadline, and the crew wraps up with Sean recalling creating a Twitter stir around the 2011 trade deadline, and a look back at the game's first radio broadcast in "This Week in Hockey History".
