Former NHL player and head coach Kirk Muller (6:19) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about the increase in player's trade requests, the evolution in player-coach relationships, stories of heated disagreements between players just like Philadelphia Flyers' Matvey Michkov and Nick Seeler, turning around slow starts, how realistic the U.S. Thanksgiving mark is as a barometer on an NHL club's season, load management, coaching Alexander Ovechkin and entering his final year, and if the Montreal Canadiens go all-in this year. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee share their thoughts on Jakob Chychrun's big hit on Nick Cousins and Michkov's comments on the reported trade request.
