Description
Two months of bubble hockey left us with some unprecedented memories and one of the most deserving Cup champions we’ve seen in some time. Ryan and Rory unpack everything from Tampa’s six-game win over a decimated Dallas Stars crew, including why Rory believes the wrong guy skated off with the Conn Smythe Trophy. Now that they’ve gotten over the hump, can the Bolts do some salary-cap maneuvering and win more titles? And what’s next for a Dallas team that has some great young talent, but a lot of money tied up in a top line that didn’t produce?
As the final pieces of confetti float down, it’s officially time to consider what big off-season moves a flat salary cap could bring. Patrik Laine’s name has shot to the top of the list in terms of intriguing trade candidates, meaning one of the best young snipers in the game might be on the move as the NHL Draft and free agency hit next week.
