We have a fresh episode of the podcast and for the first time in a long time, Jason and Frank are in the same room to record it! They’re both in Montreal for the NHL Draft and sat down today to break down not just the news we’ve seen from around the league recently, but also some rumours from around the NHL.
They kicked off the show by talking about the first-overall pick and if the Canadiens will step up and take Shane Wright or if they’ll stun the hometown crowd and go in a different direction. They ran through the hypothetical of what could happen if Wright doesn’t go first and how that could affect the trade value of the second-overall pick.
From there, they got into some of the other big offseason storylines like the goalie market, the Oilers forward situation, and the status of some pending free agents!<div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="151"></div>
