Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Crosby's Milestone Night + Staal Turns Back the Clock

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa drop the puck on Friday's edition of The FAN Hockey Show discussing Evander Kane's successful knee surgery alongside Elliotte Friedman, Sportsnet NHL insider and co-host of 32 Thoughts. They pivot to chat about Jordan Staal's hat-trick last night against the Maple Leafs, the similarities between Staal's career and his head coach Rod Brind'Amour, and Pyotr Kochetkov's push to claim the Hurricanes' crease. Next, Sidney Crosby's latest milestone sparks a conversation about how high he can claim on the NHL's all-time points list. Later, Friedge weighs in on Matt's hypothetical trade between the Canucks and Islanders, how the league's parity could impact the trade market, if the Blue Jackets will look to add to their roster before the deadline, and what the future holds for the Bruins.
