Guest: Eric Staal; Buyers/Sellers, Carter Hart, Ekblad injury, West race, Olympics

NHL @TheRink

Dan & Shawn are joined by the newest member of the Montreal Canadiens Eric Staal (24:30). Eric checks in from his quarantine condo to tell us how he's preparing to get on the ice with Habs, he discusses the unique nature of this season, what he likes about the Habs, why it never clicked with Sabres and what Taylor Hall could offer a team at the trade deadline. The guys start the episode talking about the Nashville Predators and the Columbus Blue Jackets and whether each team should be buyers or sellers at the deadline. Shawn doesn't like how Carter Hart is being handled in Philadelphia and makes quite a case for why criticizing Hart's work ethic isn't the best way to handle a goalie. They close the show talking about the West Division, the Colorado Avs, the need for the Avs to get a goalie and Stan Bowman being named the GM of Team USA.
