UFA Evaluations: Hayden Hodgson & Mikhail Maltsev

The LA Kings signed more than a dozen free agents this summer. Hayden Hodgson has played in the Flyers organization for the past two seasons while Mikhail Maltsev spent the past two seasons playing in Colorado for the Eagles and the Avalanche. Bill Meltzer (Flyers) and Meghan Angley (DNVR Sports) join host Jesse Cohen to talk about Hodgson and Maltsev and what Kings fans can expect from two of the newest members of the organization. After that, Jared Shafran and Josh Schaefer (Ontario Reign) answer a fan submitted question about the Reign lineup and where Alex Turcotte might play during the 2023-24 season.
