Jeff and Elliotte set up shop at the NHL Draft Lottery to talk to some of the GMs on site and discuss the latest news around the league.

They kick things off with Florida’s hiring of Joel Quenneville and what it means for the Panthers, look at coaching vacancies in Buffalo, L.A., Philadelphia and Edmonton, and address other league-wide news.

Then Panthers President of Hockey Ops, Dale Tallon, sits down to discuss Florida’s future; Sabres GM Jason Botterill talks about his head-coaching search, Jeff Skinner’s status and more; and Canucks GM Jim Benning gets into everything Vancouver. After that, the guys are joined by Devils GM Ray Shero and President Hugh Weber after winning the No. 1 pick to discuss what it means for the club and the whole lottery process.
