Description
Sean Gentille and guest co-host Max Bultman discuss the Chicago Blackhawks winning the draft lottery and the right to draft Connor Bedard, and the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets who lose out on the lottery, but will gain a top rated immediate impact player to add to their rosters. Sean and Max look back on a big game three effort by Vegas in Edmonton on Monday night, ahead of looking ahead to the other three series, Seattle vs Dallas, Carolina and New Jersey, and Florida poised to sweep Toronto out of the second round and a ticket into the conference finals and the tough news out of Denver, with Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog scheduled to miss the entire 2023/2024 season, as he will undergo cartilage transplant in his right knee on May 10. Will Smith, the top rated US born player ahead of the NHL's 2023 draft joins Sean and Max, and talks about breaking Auston Matthews US Hockey scoring record with the US U18 team, committing to Boston College along with teammates Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault and the United States capturing Gold at the U18 Men's world championship in Switzerland. Smith talks about the upcoming NHL combine, who in the NHL he emulates his game after and how much he is looking forward to the draft in Nashville in June.  Subscribe to The Athletic Hockey Show on YouTube: http://youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshow Get a 1-year subscription to The Athletic for just $1 a month when you visit http://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Right now, Nuts.com is offering new customers a free gift with purchase and free shipping on orders of $29 or more at http://Nuts.com/hockey23 Learn more about your ad choices.
