The Athletic Hockey Show: Is Jim Rutherford the most effective executive ever, in the history of the NHL trade deadline?

Episode Description

Sean Gentille and Down Goes Brown praise Jim Rutherford for taking the trade deadline to the next level and lament the lack of impact forwards available as the deadline approaches. Frankie Corrado shares his own personal trade deadline story, we break down the Devils firing of Lindy Ruff and hiring of Travis Green, Frankie presents his opinion on the Martin Pospisil hit against Vince Dunn and if he thinks there are still races in the conferences, or do we already have our 16 playoff teams? Plus, the boys marvel at Connor McDavid and Cale Makar, and look back on the 20th anniversary of Todd Bertuzzi attacking Steve Moore and the NHL's most penalized game ever between Philadelphia and Ottawa, which may have been the beginning of the end of fighting in the NHL.
