Tanner and Spencer break down what this means for the Mammoth’s blue line and scoring depth. Will they crack the roster out of camp? And how does Desimone’s extension shake up the plans? Bill Armstrong had thoughts, and we’ve got the receipts.

Oh, and in case you forgot... the Stanley Cup Final starts tonight.
