According to reports VGK turned down a trade that would have sent Shea Theodore as the principal player in a deal for Toronto's Mitch Marner a year ago. We do not know who else was included in the deal, but VGK nixed it when the Maple Leafs wanted Theodore who scored 42 points a season ago and 57 points this past season. We also discuss odds in the Marner Sweepstakes. There was also a report by David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period over the weekend that said VGK is now entertaining offers for another defenseman, Nic Hague, who has played more games (364) thn any other Golden Knight. And we have the latest news heading into the Stanley Cup Final.

Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving says he is allowing Mitch Marner "time to breathe" but will be in touch with his camp. Treliving said his club needs to change its DNA but didn't guarantee Toronto would offer a new contract for Marner. Meanwhile, Darren Drager said this week that insider Darren Drager has "serious interest" in Marner. We also talk about the Oilers close out of the Dallas Stars. The Oilers now face Florida in a Cup rematch of a year ago. And, it's WTF day on the show.
