Tsn 1040: Sekeres & Price

Big show in advance of the NHL draft and with Canucks GM Patrik Allvin holding a press conference from Nashville. Matt and Blake discuss Allvin comments, including the Canucks prioritizing upside and difference-makers over safer picks at #11, and whether that's fact or smoke. The guys also discuss the Friday deadline on qualifying defenceman Ethan Bear and whether he'll be traded or let go, plus Maxime Comtois, whom Anaheim is letting go and would qualify as the big winger on the Canucks' offseason wish list. Darren Dreger (Ray & Dregs Hockey Podcast) joins from Nashville with some information on the Canucks and Blackhawks talking trade prior to the latter's acquisition of Taylor Hall from Boston.
