(This episode was recorded on June 16, but is being released on June 18 due to some technical delays.) In this episode, co-hosts Josh Eppinger and Mark Geise discuss the Phil Housley hire. We discussed this ad nauseam last podcast, so there wasn’t too much to add in this podcast. We discuss some players for whom this hire will be best, among them being Brendan Guhle and Zach Bogosian (if he remains a Sabre). We also preview the expansion draft by discussing some tough choices for the most interesting teams. We each give our projected Sabres lists. Both of us had the same forward group being protected, but Mark had Bogosian being protected and Josh had Justin Falk being protected in their projections. Mark also believed Robin Lehner would be protected, while Josh argued that Linus Ullmark would be protected. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, co-hosts Josh Eppinger and Mark Geise discuss the recent news that Bob Boughner will likely be introduced as the head coach of the Florida Panthers on Monday.

Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals is tomorrow (Sunday) night, so we may see a conclusion to that series by the end of the weekend. We also discuss potential Evander Kane destinations via trade and the situation regarding RFAs Robin Lehner, Marcus Foligno, Zemgus Girgensons, and Johan Larsson. We discuss the NBA Finals vs. the Stanley Cup Finals, the expansion draft, and much more. Thanks as always for listening. Don’t forget to subscribe!
