They start by looking at a trio of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/oilers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edmonton Oiler<\/a> moves. They break down the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/widemch01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Wideman<\/a> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2018\/11\/22\/edmonton-oilers-acquire-chris-wideman-from-ottawa-senators\/\" target=\"_self\">trade<\/a> and why that was a smart move to make. Alex and Chace also look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2018\/11\/20\/edmonton-oilers-hire-ken-hitchcock-to-replace-todd-mclellan\/\" target=\"_self\">hiring<\/a> of <strong>Ken Hitchcock<\/strong>. They debate whether or not it will help the team this season. Finally, they look at the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/stromry01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Strome<\/a><\/strong> for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/spoonry01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Spooner<\/a><\/strong> trade and reflect on how poor the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/e\/eberljo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordan Eberle<\/a><\/strong> trade has turned out for Edmonton.<\/p>\n<h1>St. Louis Plus Other News<\/h1>\n<p>Following that, they switch their sites to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/blues\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">St. Louis Blues<\/a> news. Chace is confused on why this team has struggled so much. Alex thinks that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2018\/11\/20\/st-louis-blues-mike-yeo\/\" target=\"_self\">firing<\/a> <strong>Mike Yeo<\/strong> and replacing him with\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/berubcr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Craig Berube<\/a><\/strong> was the correct decision to make. They look at the Blues team going forward and discuss whether or not they can turn it around.<\/p>\n<p>After, they look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Coyotes<\/a> and talk about a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/chychja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jakob Chychrun<\/a><\/strong> extension. Alex and Chace both agree on the signing. The guys discuss what it would be like to see the Coyotes back in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, they talk about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/duchema01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Matt Duchen<\/strong>e<\/a> rumours. Alex thinks it makes no sense for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/senators\/\" target=\"_self\">Ottawa<\/a> to sign him to an eight-year deal. He weighs the pros and cons to doing so. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!<\/p>\n<p><em>Who are Alex and Chace?
