Iced Coffee, JELL-O, and a ‘Bevy’ of NHL Headlines

Ray ‘kicks-off’ Episode 74 from Dallas on a soccer trip for his son’s team. He discusses the ‘tanned-water’ that is iced coffee and the Texas heat forcing him to befriend his former foe. The guys are also apparently JELL-O traditionalists as they lament the mixed dessert bowls from childhood; perhaps they just need to try JELL-O shots??  In Headlines, the guys cover latest NHL off-season news and rumours! Big name trade-targets are emerging as the NHL Draft approaches, but could the timeline be longer than fans expect? Noah Hanifin and Pierre-Luc Dubois have made their intentions clear, but Ray discusses why waiting for the right return could prolong the inevitable well into the season.  Connor Hellebuyck being linked to the New Jersey Devils has the rumour-mill churning, as the guys discuss the potential fit for the Devils. With one year remaining on his contract and the prospect of ‘Vasilevskiy money’ being thrown around, Ray speaks on his view that spending significant cap dollars on a goalie is not a winning philosophy.  The guys talk Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s MASSIVE buyout by the Vancouver Canucks, Ray finding out like everyone else despite his wife’s role with the team, and if ‘OEL’ could be a good defensive depth add for a new team. Plus, Ryan O’Reilly’s value in free agency, and if the Toronto Maple Leafs would have to offer a multi-year deal to keep the 2019 Cup champ, or if their dollars are better spent on defence. Kris Abbott joins the pod as he discusses a break in the action for betting books, and how the oddsmakers are preparing for next season. Kris speaks on the ‘same-game-parlay’ trend and changing advertising regulations. Maybe the sunshine in Greece has Kris in a better mood, the die-hard Blue Jays fan is more optimistic than you’d think about the upcoming second-half in the MLB!  Follow us here!
