Jeff Paterson is back from his sunny sojourn; fittingly, Jason Botchford joins him from Tampa.

There's lots to talk about, including the Philip Larsen and its aftermath, Jim Benning and Trevor Linden talking to every media outlet they can, what to make of the GM's no-trade comments, Willie D's deployments — and his praise for Botch — re-signing Miller and Burrows...and of course, a visit from R2D2.

This is the Pat-cast on Province Sports Radio, presented by Eagle Ridge GM.
