Newest Chapter of Marner Drama, Knies Signs + July 1 Look-Ahead

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start the busy Monday show with a reaction to reports around the Vegas Golden Knights tampering for Mitch Marner. They discuss the rumoured Marner-Nicolas Roy trade, how the 'tampering' allegations impact negotiation leverage, and what measures the NHL might take if the Leafs file an official complaint. Then, they break down Matthew Knies' team-friendly extension, what the newly acquired Matias Maccelli brings to Toronto, potential cap casualties in Toronto, and how Aaron Ekblad's extension in Florida impacts Brad Marchand's chances to stick around with the Cats. Finally, Nick, Justin and Sam look at extension talks around the league ahead of July 1, including the Canucks' progress on Thatcher Demko, Claude Giroux's extension in the nation's capital, Nikolaj Ehlers landing spots and much more.
