Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff joins the show, what is wrong with the Edmonton Oilers?, VGK and Boston Bruins off to great starts, listener questions, and more

On a jam-packed Monday edition of The Athletic Hockey Show, Ian and Julian are joined by Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to discuss recent longterm deals for Mark Schiefele and Connor Hellebuyck, naming Adam Lowry as team captain, what conversations are like amongst GMs around the league with very little room to maneuver against the cap, and more. Then, The Athletic’s own Daniel Nugent-Bowman joins the show from Nashville ahead of Mattias Ekholm’s return as a member of the Oilers to discuss what is going wrong in Edmonton to start the season, realistic expectations for Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner in goal, how long the championship window can remain open, and more. Plus, the guys swap general manager stories, discuss whether it’s too early to panic for the winless Kraken and Panthers, great starts for the defending Cup champion Golden Knights and Bruins, and Julian takes a stand against weeknight trick-or-treating.
