Player Power with Eddie Olczyk + Brian Burke's Lustrous Hall of Fame Career

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by former NHLer and current colour analyst for NHL on TNT, Eddie Olczyk (5:18) to chat about the reported fallout between Nikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning's front office which may have led to his trade request, the increase in player empowerment, Auston Matthews returning to form, Connor McDavid's point pace this season, the difficulties and risks of a rebuild, and Macklin Celebrini calling a players-only meeting. Then, former NHL general manager and 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Brian Burke joins the guys (34:22) to discuss what has stood out the most in his 50 year career around hockey, who he's worked with and had played under him, and his relationships with Mats Sundin and other general managers.
