After a flurry of new head coaches being hired, we weigh in on the San Jose Sharks decision to bring Roy Sommer back for a 23rd season with the AHL Barracuda.

We’ll also discuss a handful of notable player signings affecting Laval, Milwaukee and Rockford, plus we look at the LA Kings decision to send five prospects to Germany until the season resumes.

And our guest this week is Syracuse Crunch play-by-play voice Lukas Favale to talk about the Syracuse-to-Tampa pipeline and the impact AHL grads are making in the Stanley Cup Final.
