Summary

Jeff and Elliotte react to the news of Arizona buying out two players, how lean of an operation they will run, Sean Monahan re-upping with the Canadiens, and how it affects any talks surrounding Pierre-Luc Dubois. Moving on, they talk about fan bases during rebuilds, assistant coaching news, and the potential for the Canucks to not qualify Ethan Bear. Finishing up, Jeff and Elliotte look at the Sabres wanting to add on defense, who might get the Hall of Fame call this year, and Philadelphia’s new jerseys. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

0:00.0	This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sports Net Radio Network.
0:07.0	Okay, so I'm going to be real honest here to kick off the program as I try to do on a regular basis here.
0:12.0	It is going to be very, very hard leading up until the
0:16.8	draft to look at any Montreal Canadians move and wonder, does this bring them closer to or take them farther away from
0:26.0	Pierre Luke to Bois. Case in point today the Montreal Canadian signed Sean
0:30.7	Monaghan to a one-year contract.

1:25.4	Pierre Luke Dubois. His agent made that quite clear last year around draft time in
1:29.7	Montreal. So it's really tough to look at Kent Hughes resigning Sean Monaghan to the one-year
1:35.1	contract extension and not think hmm who does this open up who does this perhaps make
1:41.3	available as part of a package to try to bring in Pierre Luke Dubois?
