Former CFL quarterback Chris Streveler wraps up today's program! We first catch up with Chris to see what's next for him off the field, focusing heavily on his mission to grow the Canadian game through social media and why he is so passionate about getting fans south of the border locked into the CFL. Then, we dive into the X's and O's of the season so far as Streveler breaks down why offenses have been so incredibly explosive out of the gate and shares his perspective on yesterday's blockbuster quarterback trade. Finally, Chris helps us preview tonight's massive Elks game—can Edmonton push their record to a perfect 3-0, and what exactly is the ceiling for dynamic playmaker Justin Rankin?

We then transition to the blue line as Gazdic breaks down what a potential Darnell Nurse blockbuster trade could actually look like, before wrapping up with his definitive picks for the biggest offseason winners in the NHL so far.
