Summary
Matt Marchese and Mike Futa kick off today's show with thoughts on the Maple Leafs' unlikely victory in the NHL Draft Lottery to win the first overall pick. The boys debate the decision ahead for the new front office in Toronto, detail the teams looking to move up, and take a closer look at the names to watch in first round. Ryan Strome (23:08), Flames forward and former fifth overall pick, discusses his opportunity in Calgary, his experience being a top-ranked draft prospect, his takeaways from the playoffs so far, and some stories from the game along the way. Later, Sportsnet's Eric Engels (50:00) previews Game 1 between the Canadiens and Sabres, breaks down Montreal's mentality heading into the second round, and shares any potential adjustments following their first round win over Tampa Bay.
