Dustin Nielson and former NHL netminder Joaquin Gage finally reunite to share the microphones. It has been quite some time since these two anchors shared the airwaves, so the boys open up the program with a much-needed catch-up on life, summer schedules, and golf games before plunging headfirst into a volcanic week of hockey headlines.   On Today's Show: Dusty & Gager Catch Up: Before tearing into the hockey whiteboard, the fellas trade some opening notes on where they've been, how they spent their recent time off, and why the studio chemistry hits completely differently when they're both locked into the microphones.

The Remaining Cap Room Crossroads: With the current depth chart taking shape, the Oilers still find themselves holding onto a healthy, unusual layer of cap flexibility.

The Leo Carlsson NHL Offer Sheet Bomb: The guys pull back the macro-lens to look at the massive roster anarchy that sent shockwaves through front offices on Friday afternoon. The Philadelphia Flyers completely shattered convention by dropping a historic five-year, $90 million offer sheet on Anaheim Ducks' 21-year-old star center Leo Carlsson. At an $18M average annual value, Dusty and Gager debate the immediate fallout: Will the Ducks blink and match the poison-pill contract? More importantly, is this ruthless tactic a definitive sign of things to come across the NHL as aggressive GMs start weaponizing offer sheets against rebuilding squads?

The New Look Crease: As a former netminder, Gager gets right into the tape of Edmonton's brand-new goaltending structure.
