Former NHL head coach Bruce Cassidy (8:07) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about the start of the 2026-27 season, what he would instill on a team during the first few games, the fans booing Dylan Larkin during the Detroit Red Wings' home opener, coaching top prospects, where he'd put Gavin McKenna on the lineup to start his NHL career, development vs. winning games, and the definition of an 'optional skate'. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee wrap up the show discussing Simon Edvinsson's trade request, Leo Carlsson's offer sheet, Brad Marchand's early injury return to make his Florida Panthers' debut, and the Calgary Flames placing Connor Zary on waivers.
