EP 106 - Bedard + Draft Lottery, Canes, Ovechkin!

With our Craig Button covering the tournament for TSN we start with Quarter Final Monday at the World Junior Hockey Championship! What could the final four look like? USA vs Canada in the semis? (1:36)

The Connor Bedard show continues but we also talk about other draft eligible players at the tournament that are putting scouts on notice (2:53).

Our Bedard topics continue as we start to wonder what NHL market would be best for the top prize at this year's draft? What NHL team should get Bedard? (5:20). That leads us to the NHL Draft Lottery (11:00) teams in play for the 1st and other teams that have traded away bad draft picks.

Our Sports Interaction (15:13) features our inside look at the Winter Classic and the NHL at the start of this week!

We start the 2nd half of the pod talking some Carolina Hurricanes (17:00). A solid team and Cup fav who earned their 11th straight win Sunday!

Antti Raanta is looking good for the Canes but we wonder if he is being showcased for a trade? And a team that could use him the sleepless in Seattle Kraken (22:42). Could there be a goalie trade between Seattle and Carolina?

Other other main topic in our 2nd half is the Great 8 Alex Ovechkin (25:08) who scored his 30th career hat trick on the last day of 2022 and became just the sixth player in NHL history to do so, joining Wayne Gretzky (50), Mario Lemieux (40), Mike Bossy (39), Brett Hull (33) and Phil Esposito (32).

And in our Final Thoughts talk about 2nd half story lines and present you with a few BOLD predictions (33:03)
