The 6-Team NHL Anarchy Experiment: The NBA completely shattered the internet yesterday by executing a wild, complex 6-team blockbuster trade. Naturally, it got Dusty's gears turning. If the basketball world can pull off a 6-team transaction, why can't the hockey world? Dusty hits the whiteboard to unveil his ultimate, highly chaotic, hypothetical 6-team NHL mega-trade.

ESPN's Greg Wyshynski locked down the final segment of today's jam-packed show. We kicked things off with a global perspective, getting Greg's thoughts on Team USA's tough elimination match at the World Cup yesterday. Then, we plunged straight into deep hockey water, starting with the local scene as Wysh it analyzed Stan Bowman's aggressive free agency blueprint and the landscape-shifting decision to trade Darnell Nurse to San Jose. From there, we tackled the multi-million dollar question sweeping the league: Will the Ducks match Philadelphia's toxic $90M offer sheet, or is Leo Carlsson officially a Flyer? After a quick temperature check on the Florida Panthers' latest roster adjustments, we wrapped up the program by diving into the squared circle with Wysh's ultimate take on the latest news and storylines in the WWE.
