Summary

Matt kicks off the show with Jason Bukala to recap the NHL draft. Jason breaks down his favorite picks of the draft, Arizona’s first-round picks, and some of the best stories of the draft. Then, Jeff Marek joins Matt to break down the news he broke last night surrounding the acquisition of the PHF by Billie Jean King Enterprises and the Mark Walter Group and the formation of one professional women’s hockey league in North America. He breaks down what we can expect going forward, if the NHL will get involved, and all the latest news and rumors on the future of professional women’s hockey in North America. Then, Eric Francis joins the show to break down what Craig Conroy has on the agenda in his first free agency as GM of the Flames. Eric dives into who the Flames could trade in the coming months, whether or not Jakob Markstrom will be a member of the Flames on opening night, what to explain from the Flames' new-look coaching staff led by new head coach Ryan Huska. To end off the show, George Richards previews what to expect from the Florida Panthers this offseason. He breaks down their cap situation, the likelihood of the Panthers' rumored top trade targets coming to the Sunshine State, Patrik Hornqvist’s impact in changing the culture of the Panthers' locker room.
