Since so much went on since NHL Free Agency they looked at it on two sides. Alex and Chace already broke down the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2019\/07\/19\/nhl-free-agency\/\" target=\"_self\">Eastern Conference<\/a> and now look to the West.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kesseph01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Phil Kessel<\/a> <\/strong>trade, Chace isn&#8217;t quite sure what it provides. However, Alex feels he understands where the Coyotes may have been coming from. They also look at the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/n\/nealja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Neal<\/a> <\/strong>for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lucicmi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Milan Lucic<\/strong><\/a> deal. The guys try and figure out what one side was thinking and if Edmonton actually won a &#8220;one for one&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Next, they take a look at a flurry of signings from some Western teams trying to figure out if they were smart or not. Looking at things like possible playoff teams and if a long-term deal makes sense. They talk about the length of the Colton Scissons deal and if it&#8217;s a smart or unnecessary bet. Finally, they finish things off by talking about if <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/myersty01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Myers<\/a> <\/strong>will be a good addition to his new team. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!<\/p>\n<p>Who are Alex and Chace? Alex and Chace are both from the Waterloo region in Ontario, Canada.
