Summary
Fresh off the NHL Draft in Buffalo, Daren Millard and John Shannon break down everything happening across the league as free agency looms. Daren shares firsthand impressions from the draft floor, including thoughts on the atmosphere and notable format changes. The conversation zeroes in on some of the biggest contract situations in the game — Dylan Larkin, Connor Hellebuyck, and Jason Robertson — analyzing potential trades and what each situation means for their respective teams. The Pacific Division gets particular attention, with San Jose, Anaheim, and Vegas all facing key decisions. The guys also dig into the nuances of reciprocal no-trade clauses, jersey designs, broadcast considerations, and wrap up with predictions on where the top unrestricted free agents will land and why franchise face players remain the cornerstone of any successful NHL organization.
