How badly does Duke need Kyle Filipowski to return for next season?

The big news coming out of yesterday was that former North Carolina Guard Caleb Love would be transferring to Michigan. The Tar Heels have only grabbed one player out of the transfer portal thus far, but how long does Hubert Davis have to keep improving next year's squad? Speaking of next season for local teams, Duke has had some players declare for the draft, but they also have players returning such as Tyrese Proctor. Chris and Dennis discuss how Kyle Filipwoski's decision will be a big factor for the Blue Devils.

Also, the Carolina Hurricanes lost to the Nashville Predators this past Thursday 3-0. Chris and Dennis, feel they've seen this story already from last season, and have concerns that it will carry over into the upcoming playoffs.
