First, Max and Corey welcome The Athletic’s Montreal Canadiens writers Arpon Basu and Marc Antoine Godin to discuss the Habs having the first overall selection in this year’s NHL Draft, if they’ll actually select presumptive No. 1 pick Shane Wright with that pick or go with other options like Juraj Slafkovsky or Logan Cooley, who within the Canadiens organization will ultimately make the decision at the draft, and much more.Plus, the guys open up the mailbag and answer listener questions about where the Florida Panthers go from their second round sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the discrepancy between Shane Wright being described as both a responsible two-way center and as lacking consistent effort, the main differences between Kakko Kaapo and Juraj Slafkovsky, if peanut butter on hot dogs is acceptable or not, why Matthew Savoie’s ranking seems to be dropping, if Corey has ever systemically looked at players that have exceeded his rankings, why Liam Öhgren’s production is so much higher than Jonathan Lekkerimäki even thought they play on the same line, revisiting Corey’s original Cale Makar skating grade, if Cayden Primeau is still a legit NHL prospect, and who the “heart and soul” prospects in the year’s draft are.And now, you can get a 6 month subscription to The Athletic for just $1 a month when you visit http://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
