Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson discuss Patrik Allvin's explosive comments. Anyone could be traded; Elias Pettersson has to get more mature, better prepared and face the music when things don't go well; the stars are underperforming; Brock Boeser has more to give; and he may need to make a trade to shake things up. The guys also discuss a push-to-shove decision on J.T. Miller or Pettersson, Boeser's future, management's role in this muddling season, and the final calendar game of 2024 in Ca...
