Episode 194 featuring Mark Greig

Derek and Riley start the show discussing what the Philadelphia Flyers did at the NHL Trade Deadline, including trading Scott Laughton to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Andrei Kuzmenko to the Los Angeles Kings, and Erik Johnson back to the Colorado Avalanche. Moving along we discuss the Flyers awful homestand, Cam York being scratched and his comments towards John Tortorella, and the current Eastern Conference standings. Before we get to our interview we talk about Brad Marchand’s trade to the Florida Panthers, and Mikko Rantanen flipped to the Dallas Stars. Jumping into our interview, Flyers scout Mark Greig joins us! Greig discusses the excitement heading into this summer’s NHL Entry Draft, how the talent in the 2025 draft compares to others, and if there are players that project to be first line centers in the draft. We also talk about how to evaluate players ceilings, the player’s character and mental makeup, the NHL Combine, finding late sleepers, and how important this draft is for the Flyers rebuild. Getting into Greig more personally, he tells us when he decided he wanted to be a scout, battles in the war room, Mark’s children Dara, Kyra, and Ridley Greig’s hockey careers, Mark’s pro hockey playing career, Derek’s time with Mark with the Phantoms, and we share a ton of legendary stories from the AHL, down the shore, Craig Berube, and more!
