Miscellaneous


Another exciting episode, Covid free for your protection.  We talk a lot about youth and we spend time looking forward.  Tuukka Rask has implied that he may not play after his current contract expires.  What does that mean for the Bruins going forward?  The signing of Jeremy Swayman looms larger than first thought.  We touch on the 10 Hobey Baker Award Finalists (of which Swayman is one) and talk about local talent.  Connor Bedard, a 14 year old in BC Hockey, has been granted Exceptional Status and will be allowed to play in the WHL next season as a 15 year old.  This has only happened 6 times and most of the players are recognizable names in the NHL.  Could he be next?  We talk about the undrafted free agent signings of the past and the top 5 franchises in terms of games played by these signings.  In the wake of the recent signings by the Bruins and other franchises, it is possible that this new batch could have an impact in the near future.  Jack Ahcan has signed with the Bruins out of St. Cloud State in Minnesota.  Another defenseman, he is smaller in stature than Nick Wolff, at 5'8" but has potential big talent.  Finally, we review Future Considerations (large thank you to them) 2019 review of this year's potential draft picks.  No mention of Coronavirus, just hockey talk...listen, pass it along, send us thoughts and comments and...Enjoy the Show!
