On this week's penultimate stream (in two weeks we'll have full NHL regular season slates to dive into!), Matt and DJ quickly review some odds and ends around old advancement data and discuss some of the major developments out of training camp. After the live draft, they bring back a fan favorite and roast every team, including Matt's very-out-of-character build. If you listen closely, you can hear DJ paying zero attention to the stream and his full attention to 1) his NHL Preseason DFS lineup, 2) his NHL preseason bets, and 3) his Drafters best ball drafts...
