- Should the Toronto Maple Leafs (and Mitch Marner) be blown up?

- Will the Tampa Bay Lightning find the missing spark (and Brayden Point)?

- Is Jordan Binnington officially back to his old form?

- Did the Pittsburgh Penguins make the right choices with Sidney Crosby and Tristan Jarry?

- Can the New York Rangers win without Hart trophy nominee level Igor Shesterkin?

- Welcome to the Jake Oettinger coming out party!

- The Battle of Alberta is primed to be a heavy and high scoring matchup!

We also break down the news of the week, including Pete DeBoer out as the coach of the Vegas Golden Knights and Lane Lambert out as the villain in Spiderman and in as the coach of the New York Islanders.
