Smith, highly regarded NHL executive, served as the President and General Manager of the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion New York Rangers. During his eleven years with the team, they achieved significant success, including three division titles, two Presidents’ Trophies, one Eastern Conference Championship, and a historic Stanley Cup victory—the franchise’s first in 54 years. Known for his expertise in professional sports franchise economics, Smith played a pivotal role in management decisions under four different Rangers owners.. His tenure saw iconic trades and acquisitions, including Hall of Famers Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky, as well as successful drafts and free-agent signings. Starting as a pro scout, Smith's career highlights include the impactful 1989 draft for the Detroit Red Wings and bold trades that shaped NHL history. He briefly served as GM for the New York Islanders in 2006, later working as a consultant for the Dallas Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. A Toronto native, Smith's hockey journey began in junior leagues before a distinguished college career at Western Michigan University. He has received numerous awards and distinctions, including induction into the University's Sports Hall of Fame in 1991. Vic Morren: Born in New York City close to the Old Madison Square Garden, Vic Morren has had hockey in his blood his entire life as a fan, player and television production manager. A graduate of William Paterson University, Morren skated for three seasons with the Pioneers hockey club and became the first statistical analyst to apply his craft to telecasts working New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils games from 1984-87. He co-authored two NHL-based statistics books within that span before moving to ESPN in 1987 and working the final season of the original deal the network had with the NHL. After departing in 1990, Morren worked as a studio producer for SportsChannel America’s NHL coverage and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics before returning to ESPN that fall where he worked all 12 seasons on the second ESPN/NHL deal and the first season of the most recent contract in 2021-22. Morren has also earned a Sports Emmy for his work on Sunday Night Football coverage in 2003. His relationship with Neil Smith dates back 33 years through their mutual friendship with the late ESPN/ABC commentator John Saunders. Morren looks forward to NHL Wraparound and collaborating with Smith with the goal to provide an experience of contemporary viewpoints, historical spin and an overall enriching podcast experience.

Mike speaks about the amazing skating of Connor McDavid and where he separates himself from all others.[28:50] - Mike notes how his offensive game might be different in today's NHL.[31:14] - From speed and skating to goalscoring, Mike comments on the greatest ever, Alexander Ovechkin.[34:39] - Mike's career wrapped up in Phoenix with the Coyotes and was a teammate of Keith Tkachuk, who's sons are certainly household names in the NHL.[36:47] - The new role as full chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame succeeding Lanny McDonald and what Mike hopes to accomplish during his term.[39:02] - Some closing words with Hall of Famer Mike Gartner.[41:47] - Vic and Neil close with some final words.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #QuickTakes #MikeGartner #HockeyHallofFame #WashingtonCapitals #MinnesotaNorthStars #N.Y.Rangers #TorontoMapleLeafs #PhoenixCoyotes #WesJarvis #GusBadali #RickCurran #NHLPA #TorontoYoungNationals #TorontoRedWings #HapEmms #NiagaraFallsFlyers #BobbyHull #GuyLafleur #CanadaCup #IgorLarionov #SergeiMakarov #VladimirKrutov #MarkMessier #GlennAnderson #WayneGretzky #MarioLemieux #CincinnatiStingers #RayBourque #RyanWalter #RodLangway #BrianEngblom #UlfDahlen #SergeiZubov #DinoCiccarelli #LarryMurphy #BobRouse #JackFerreira #DylanLarkin #ConnorMcDavid #AlexanderOvechkin #AlKoken #KeithTkachuk #BradyTkachuk #OttawaSenators #MatthewTkachuk #FloridaPanthers #ShaneDoan #JeremyRoenick #KrisKing #TeppoNumminen #LannyMcDonald #JeffDenomme #JamieDinsmore #MikeRichter #AdamGraves #JohnVanbiesbrouck #RogerNeilson #ScottyBowman #PierreTurgeon #SteveYzerman #CraigPatrick
