Dan and Shawn are back as the NHL season nears closer. They are joined by Aleksander Barkov (16:04) and Filip Gustavsson (45:30). The guys catch up on some major offseason storylines, including the Penguins trading for Erik Karlsson and the retirement of Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron (3:00). They chat about the hype around Connor Bedard (31:30) and discuss some other rookies that could propel themselves into the Calder Trophy conversation. The mailbag is opened up for the first time this season as the guys try to identify some under-the-radar teams that are in the mix to make the Playoffs (1:02:10). They also debate who is better positioned to disrupt the hierarchy of the Eastern Conference, the Buffalo Sabres or the Ottawa Senators.
