Playoff picture becomes clearer; Andrew Shaw retires; Big big TV money

Remember when everyone was counting the Nashville Predators out? Yeah, us too. Hosts Sarah Avampato (Locked On Kings) and Tom Gazzola (TSN 1260) look at the current standings in the west and try to figure out who's in and who's out as the top three seeds in the divisions are pretty much already settled. Plus, with Andrew Shaw's recent announcement that he is retiring, are we seeing a shifting mindset in the hockey world? Are players more likely to step away from the game early now, and are they more willing to speak up about the health concerns that motivated their choice? Also, the NHL just announced the final piece of their TV deal in the US. With several networks now needing to staff NHL desks, who do we want to see covering hockey on TV?
