Mike McKenna and Scott Burnside are back for another episode of The Suitcase and The Scribe. Today's show is centred around free agency, which we are now one week into, and also the situation in Calgary. 

After losing Johnny Gaudreau last week to the Columbus Blue Jackets, which caused quite the stir, the Flames are now on the brink of losing Matthew Tkachuk. Tkachuk is a restricted free agent, but all reports indicated that his days might be numbers in the Flames. What does this mean for Calgary? Mike and Scott discuss the situation on today's show. 

Additionally, they spoke about why American-born players do not want to stay in Canada. Mike talked about his experiences in the Canadian market, and Scott relayed some information he learned from talking with hockey personnel. 

We are now deep into free agency, and most top players are spoken for. However, two names that are still lingering around are Nazem Kadri and John Klingberg do not have homes. Mike and Scott discussed possible landing spots for those two and why they haven't signed anywhere. 

Also, on the show, Mike and Scott talked about the San Jose Sharks, the Seattle Kraken, and another current free agent in Nino Niederreiter.
