The San Jose Sharks acquired right-handed defenseman Calen Addison from the Minnesota Wild for a 2026 sixth-round pick and forward Adam Raska.

Next, dive into Addison's draft profiles, scouting reports, and what the analytics say about his time with the Wild. Finally, where does Addison fit into the Sharks' current and long-term plans, and who should be Addison's partner as they continue trying to rebuild their blueline on the fly?

Tom is back in-studio following a top class birthday meal at Campiello's and is back to reality having to deal with Brittany's antics. In the first hour, SKOR North's Judd Zulgad talks about the latest news regarding the Twins and their broadcast deal with Bally Sports and how the new changes could impact the club's payroll in 2024, and KSTP's Chris Egert on incoming election results, how ranked choice voting has created some cloudy immediate results, and the outcomes of the school board voting. Hour #2 has Emmy award-winner Sherri Shepherd join the show to talk about her show "Sherri" which airs locally on FOX weekdays at noon! In Hour #3 we try to record our podcast under the call letters KTOMMY, but unfortunately they're already taken. So instead Kristyn Burtt discusses the difference between handsome and sexy. Apparently it has something to do with how faithful you are to your spouse. On the Family, we teach you ways to spend your money wisely and ways to spend it not so wisely. For example, a nice night out with your family. It's a lasting memory, a good meal, and you win every time. An example of a bad investment would be a company that leases working space for gig workers. We may be talking about one such company in particular.
