## Resource

TSN's Craig Button joined us right out of the gate to break down the massive Mike Babcock hiring in Edmonton. We dive into Craig's raw reaction to yesterday's press conference, how the players gave this move the green light after speaking with Babcock, and what D.J. Smith's role will look like on this staff. Plus, Craig gives his take on yesterday's wild NHL trade frenzy—handing out his biggest winners and losers—before we bring it back home for the latest update on Darnell Nurse. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break we got into Free Advice for Damon Bunting. The boys had plenty of advice for the nasties today. Eric Macramalla finished hour two with his thoughts on the circus currently going on in Edmonton.
