The Larkin Request + Signing Season Preview with Elliotte Friedman
About this episode
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin the second hour discussing Detroit Red Wings' general manager Steve Yzerman's comments on the Dylan Larkin situation before looking back at the NHL Draft, including Ivar Stenberg vs. Gavin McKenna, and Caleb Malhotra getting drafted to play under his dad with the Vancouver Canucks. Then, Sportsnet's and 32 Thoughts' Elliotte Friedman (13:28) weighs in on the current format of the NHL Draft, potential moves for Zach Werenski, if general managers are opposed to player empowerment like in the NBA, if Yzerman will honour Larkin's request, scenarios for Morgan Rielly and Darnell Nurse deals, if Jason Robertson will ultimately stay in Dallas, and why the Columbus Blue Jackets are trying to avoid a rebuilding timeline. Afterwards, Nick, Justin and Sam chat about the New York Rangers acquiring Pavel Dorofeyev and signing him to a seven-year extension, the lack of news around pending free agent Rasmus Andersson, and the San Jose Sharks building towards being contenders.
