The busiest General Manager in the NHL this summer, Brad Treliving of the Calgray Flames, joins the podcast for todays show.

With the team looking much different than it did last year, we talk to Brad about the moves he made this summer, getting a look behind the scenes of one of the most chaotic off-seasons and NHL team has ever gone through.

We talk about the loss of Johnny Gaudreau and try to get some info on what led to the star forwards decision to leave. We also get some details on the deal that sent Matthew Tkachuk to Florida in exchange for Jonathon Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weeger. Brad gives us some insight on how he thinks the players will fit into the roster.

To end the show, we discuss the Nazem Kadri free agent signing, from how the negotiations progressed to whether the rumours of Kadri refusing a trade to Calgary from Toronto had any truth behind them.
