Jared Book is joined by Julian McKenzie and Scott Matla and they start the episode off by discussing the Jeff Petry extension and what that means for the team going forward.

Jared sets the expectations for Marc Bergevin's off-season, and that leads to a second discussion about how optimistic fans should be based on the small sample of the NHL's Return to Play.

They then discuss what the signing of Joseph Blandisi signifies for the organization's strategy and why AHL success is a critical element of building a contending team with an eye towards the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Dallas Stars.
