We are all pretty happy to not see McDavid hoist the cup for various different reasons, and now we can move on to the most interesting part of the year...that weird phase between the cup, the draft, and free agency. we also discuss the craziness that was the PWHL expansion draft for Vancouver and Seattle and air our frustrations at what that league needs to do better to attract and retain more fans (and how to handle the next expansion better). Finally the news never stops in the NHL as there were a handful of trades, signings, and league investigations to talk about.
