Brady Tkachuk has taken his talents to South Beach, but are the Senators better off without their former captain or is this the beginning of a retool in Canada’s capital? Of the ten teams featured in the How To Fix series this offseason, the Senators are the only one to have made the playoffs last season. Sean McIndoe and Julian McKenzie discuss why that is the case, the strength of the team with the forward group, a defense corps that keeps getting better, and the ongoing sore spot for the Sens in goal.

Mark Lazerus and Scott Powers break down the young talent in Chicago and ask if Sam Rinzel, Artyom Levshunov, Anton Frondell, Frank Nazar and Roman Kantserov can take the next step in Bedard’s absence, and if franchise icon Patrick Kane can help guide this young team to where they want to go.

Mark Lazerus welcomes Peter Baugh and Vince Mercogliano to discuss the Rangers’ offseason, including drafting Albert Smits fifth overall, trading Vincent Trochek and acquiring Pavel Dorofeyev and Joonas Korpisalo, as New York looks to return to the playoffs and avoid sending another “letter” to their long-suffering fans.
