Sidney Crosby scores number 500, Jack Eichel to make his Vegas debut tonight and trade deadline chips are falling into place

This week on the Wednesday edition of the Athletic Hockey Show, Jesse Granger and Sara Civian welcome back Sean Shapiro, The Athletic's sports business writer to the roundtable. The crew stick taps the career of Sidney Crosby who scored his 500th NHL goal in the Penguins win over the Flyers on Tuesday night. Jesse, Sara and Sean look forward to Jack Eichel's Vegas Golden Knights debut with Mark Stone being placed on LTI to accommodate the new Knights forward and ask should there be a salary cap in the playoffs? Plus we discuss the red hot season for the Colorado Avalanche, look ahead to the Gold Medal game between Canada and the United States in women's hockey at the Beijing Olympics, and bemoan the States and Canada being eliminated in men's hockey before the medal round. With the trade deadline now 5 weeks out, Sara, Jesse and Sean look ahead to the trade deadline, focusing in on the sellers in Philadelphia, Buffalo Columbus and New Jersey and the buyers in Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Florida, Carolina and Colorado.
