FOLKS, the best day of the entire offseason – July 1, aka Free Agent Frenzy day – has come and gone, and we've got all the news, opinions and hot takes you could ever ask for.

Trade season is officially here in the NHL, so we touch on movement around the league, along with buyouts (38:05). Free agents are starting to pile up quick, so we've got you covered in all things UFA, too (43:15). We put a bow on the playoffs, as mentioned earlier (59:52), preview the 2019 NHL Draft (1:02:30), and Meghan tells us how she REALLY feels in her power play (1:13:17). Enjoy!
