With the news that Matvei Michkov would be returning to the area last night, we’re talking about a few Michkov topics today, the biggest of which pertaining to his linemates this coming season, and whether he and Trevor Zegras should be tied together for the early part of the season.

And hey, it’s September 1, meaning there’ll be REGULAR SEASON HOCKEY this month, and we’ve got 29 days until the season opener. Plus, we’ll talk about some potential training camp trades with several unsigned RFAs still hanging around, as well as some trade requests/demands still unresolved around the league.
