The Latest with Elliotte Friedman: Teeing Up Game 5 of the SCF + Potential Buyout Candidates

Jeff and Elliotte kick off the show teeing up Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final and what they expect ahead of the opening face-off tonight. They discuss what a Panthers win tonight would demonstrate to other NHL teams, Sergei Bobrovsky’s contract, and how a Cup would impact Aleksander Barkov's legacy. Next, the pair get into Chris Armstrong's role as Utah’s President of Hockey Operations and what's next for team's front office. Later, Jeff and Elliotte look into the NHL buyout window, which is set to open 48 hours after the Stanley Cup is awarded, and sift through potential buyout candidates including Jeff Skinner with the Buffalo Sabres. The duo wrap up today's show with a chat about Ryan Warsofsky taking over behind the bench in San Jose, Pascal Vincent being let go by the Blue Jackets, and who could be the next bench boss in Ohio.
