Summary
Former Coach & GM Doug MacLean joins the show to take us inside the busiest off season stretch on the hockey calendar. The NHL Draft Combine has wrapped up, the Entry Draft is less than two weeks away, and Free Agency opens July 1. For front offices across the league, it's a non-stop race to prepare for one of the most important periods of the year. How does an organization manage it all? What are GMs, scouts, coaches and hockey operations staff doing behind the scenes? When do trade talks really heat up? We'll also get Doug's perspective on one of the toughest challenges a GM can face: what happens when a star player wants out? How do you handle the situation internally, protect the organization, and maximize your return? A fascinating look behind the curtain with one of hockey's most experienced executives.
