This week, we take a look at whether Kyle Dubas is still on track to be the next Leafs’ GM, decisions on Gudbranson in Vancouver, Maroon or Lucic in Edmonton, and more in this week’s Nation Roundup brought to you by the DailyFaceOff.
In the Roundup, we go around the Nation Network and give you some of the best articles of the last couple weeks. Every once in a while it’s good to know what other teams are doing, or maybe you find an interesting article you wouldn’t have found otherwise.
