## Resource

Bruce Boudreau joined the show for the first time since the Oilers' exit to share his takeaways from the team's season-ending media availability. Bruce breaks down the roster's current state, offering specific solutions for the blue line and bottom-six—both from within the organization and via the trade market. Plus, we pivot to the "mess in Toronto" to see how the Maple Leafs' offseason chaos compares to the situation in Edmonton. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. In the middle of the hour we got into I Got Beef! What are the boy's beefing about today? Reid Wilkins finished off hour 2 with his beef, some thoughts on the Oilers future and finished with some Elks talk as training camp is right around the corner.
