Between the 2023 NHL Draft fast approaching, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the IIHF World Championships, and overall chaos across hockey, there's lots to talk about!
Tune in as we start by discussing Joe Veleno's unfortunate stomp on Nino Neiderreiter and subsequent suspension & whether this affects his Detroit Red Wings standing whatsoever (3:40).
Next, an NHL Draft Prospect Profile on one of our favorite potential Red Wings picks: Oliver Moore from the USNTDP. Tune in as we break down the speedy center's game, his offensive ceiling, how he compares to Dylan Larkin, & whether he'd be worth picking over Ryan Leonard, Dalibor Dvorsky, Zach Benson, Matthew Wood, & others in Steve Yzerman's eyes, the potential to trade picks, & more (9:15).
After that, an update on the Conference Finals as Tkachuk and Bobrovsky shock the Hurricanes to give the Panthers an early lead, & the Vegas Golden Knights taking a strong start over the Dallas Stars (26:15).
Also, Brendan Shanahan's shocking 180 to ultimately let go of Kyle Dubas, what the Toronto Maple Leafs' shakeup means for Detroit & the rest of the Atlantic division, what happens to Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, & others, Andlauer potentially buying the Senators & whether that could be a Dubas landing spot, & lots more from that chaos (39:40).
Finally, more quick updates on Hockeytown's presence in the World Championships (Kubalik, Seider, Raymond, Berggren, Maatta, Mazur), notes on Ken Daniels' recent accolades, & Calgary's interest in Alex Tanguay (53:00) before we take your questions during Overtime (56:52) - enjoy!
