Episode description

On this episode, Rachel is joined by Chris Gear to discuss what watching hockey is like as an executive vs as a fan (00:00-03:14), what the week of the draft and free agency look like for an executive (03:14-09:20), how teams decide which RFAs are worth qualifying (09:20-16:35), offer sheets (16:35-21:26), buyouts (21:26-26:30), and UFAs/Free Agency/contract negotiations (26:30-41:30). They then dive into Hughes and Pettersson (41:30-45:55), whether or not the media's opinions adjust team decisions (45:55-47:00), the underappreciated roles of the AGM (47:00-50:25), and finally whether executives utter things under their breath during meetings (50:25-END)
