Episode 202

mercredi 3 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:01:28

Kevyn Adams got things rolling at the draft, making his first acquisition of the offseason, trading for Beck Malenstyn from the Washington Capitals.

We talk through the work Adams has done thus far and dig in on the approach he'll need to take if he hopes to check a big acquisition off his to-do list.
