They also talk about the news of the week:
– Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat re-signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Is this team good enough to return to the Stanley Cup Final?
– Jaromir Jagr is still a free agent. Where will he end up?
– Jaccob Slavin signed a 7 year extension with the Carolina Hurricanes. Are the Canes poised for a playoff run?

It is also the 4th Line Podcast debut for a new segment called “Letter of Intent”, where we explore the world of college hockey with Gwen de Young and Kyle Willaert, this week looking at the best college players taken in this year’s NHL entry draft.
