Then, he discusses Ilya Samsonov's playoff outlook, the emergence of Alex Nedeljkovic and Jake Oettinger heating up at the right time. Finally, they regroup with Sam McKee for news & notes - Jack Hughes ruled out for the season with shoulder surgery, Landon Dupont being granted exceptional status, the Canucks solidifying their position ahead of Edmonton and MVP picks.
