A BUSY week in the NHL off-season continues as teams wrap their drafts, and turn their focus to free agency. For Ray that means manning the ship at home as wife Cammi Granato puts in the hours as a member of Canucks management. Good thing the Ferraro kids like banana bread! In Headlines, the guys discuss the lack of trades at the NHL Draft, and the salary cap keeping teams from making moves. Flyers defender Travis Sanheim's no-trade-clause kicks in July 1st, and after Torey Krug invoked his own NTC, Philly is likely on the hook for the player's mammoth payday. Ray sounds-off on managers ‘handing out' NTC's and the problem it saddles teams with, while acknowledging the players' right to use their NTC's. The blockbuster trade that sent star centre Pierre-Luc Dubois from Winnipeg to the LA Kings is examined. SIZE is at a premium in the Western Conference as Ray lauds the juggernauts of the Pacific Division.  An Original-6 trade saw the Boston Bruins striking a deal with the Chicago Blackhawks. The guys discuss Taylor Hall's potential production alongside 1st overall pick Connor Bedard, and assess the deal from a Bruins perspective. Can the record-setting team make off-season moves that will translate to playoff success??  William Nylander's contract negotiations continue with the Toronto Maple Leafs as the supremely talented winger aims to cash-in. 10+ million? 8 years? No-trade-clause? The guys discuss potential factors to consider between new Leafs GM Treliving and the Nylander camp. Plus, Ray gives his opinion on what the Leafs should do.  Kris Abbott is away on Betano.ca duties, just as the NFL odds for next season are released... Perhaps he is preparing for Season 5 after a less-than-stellar showing in the pod's NFL Picks competition?? Looking at 2024 Super Bowl odds, Ray relates the Bills' talented squad to the Leafs, as Josh Allen and the Bills will try to get by the dynasty-level Chiefs this season.  In Ask Ray & Dregs Anything, the guys are asked about which team faces the most pressure to improve this off-season, players that outperformed their expected talent, and the guys look ahead to a well-deserved break and a change of pace for the summer!

Having spent 16 seasons with 6 different teams as an NHL player, ‘Edzo' knows the game. But, did you know he's also a horse-racing enthusiast?? In fact, the Seattle Kraken and NHL on TNT broadcaster actually started his TV career in horse-racing! Olczyk spoke on his journey from the NHL to broadcasting, stories from playing and covering the game, and a short stint as Ray Ferraro's teammate that included a ‘Grand Slam' bet payday courtesy of Bobby Bonilla. Plus, how the Seattle Kraken pulled off their improbable victory over the Colorado Avalanche, ‘misfits' making an impact on the sophomore team, and Seattle's chances against Oettinger and the Stars. In Headlines, the guys discuss Game 7 between the Devils and Rangers, Ray explains why Jacob Trouba's MASSIVE hit on Timo Meier was clean, and the possibility of the NHL adopting International head contact rules. Plus, a disappointing end for a star-studded Rangers squad, splashy additions not making a difference, and if major changes are coming to New York. Ray compares the Bruins collapse to his wife Cammi Granato's 2002 USA hockey team's run of dominance that came to an abrupt end; did a lack of ‘adversity' play a factor in the Bruins demise? The firing of Calgary Flames head coach Darryl Sutter, the impact of player exit-meetings, and a disappointing season for the Flames rounds out Headlines. Kris Abbott joins the pod and talks his ‘bank account' reflecting a not-so-good average in his 1st round selections.

The Yankees begin the second half with a gaudy 64-28 record and a whopping 13-game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East. The crosstown Mets are on top of the NL East, looking to hold off the Braves and take the franchise’s first division title since 2015. The postseason picture is quite crowded, thanks to the addition of a third wild card in each league. Cincinnati Reds ace Luis Castillo, Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and Washington Nationals slugger Juan Soto are the names to watch ahead of next month’s trade deadline. MLB – MLB All-Star Game wins night but draws record low ratings Major League Baseball’s Midsummer Classic remains the most-watched all-star game in professional sports, even though it drew record lows in viewership for the fifth time since 2015. The game in Los Angeles averaged 7.51 million viewers on Fox, a decline of 9.7% from last year’s contest in Colorado. The audience peaked at 8.24 million between 9:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. EDT. The game was the most-watched program on television on Tuesday night and outdrew the other three all-star games that were played in February. The NFL’s Pro Bowl averaged 6.69 million on ABC, followed by the NBA and NHL all-star games. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Yesterday Chicago Sky 78, Seattle Storm 74 Sky 78, Storm 74 – Chicago wins 5th straight to clinch WNBA playoff spot Allie Quigley scored 18 points, Emma Meesseman had 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and the Chicago Sky beat the Seattle Storm 78-74 for their fifth straight victory. Chicago clinched a playoff spot with its 20th win of the season. Meesseman made a reverse layup to give Chicago a 76-72 lead and Kahleah Copper grabbed an offensive rebound on the Sky’s next possession before making 1 of 2 free throws for a five-point lead. After a timeout, Breanna Stewart made a driving layup with 10.7 seconds left to pull Seattle within three points, but Copper went 1 for 2 from the free-throw line at the other end. Copper finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for Chicago. Stewart led Seattle with 24 points. Tonight Indiana Fever at Las Vegas Aces, 10:00 p.m. WNBA – Rapinoe, King urge freedom for Brittney Griner at The ESPYS Detained WNBA star Brittney Griner was front and center at The ESPYS. Soccer star Megan Rapinoe admonished her fellow athletes for not doing enough to speak out while also encouraging them to support Griner. Griner was arrested in Russia in February after customs officials found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. NBA Finals MVP and show host Stephen Curry joined WNBA players Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith in calling attention to Griner’s plight. Big Ten – Newsom wants explanation from UCLA about move to Big Ten California Gov. Gavin Newsom is demanding an explanation from UCLA officials about their move to the Big Ten Conference. Newsom attended Wednesday’s UC Board of Regents meeting in San Francisco. The closed-door meeting was the first since UCLA and Southern California announced on June 30 that the schools would be leaving the Pac-12 Conference for the Big Ten in 2024. USC is a private institution and not part of the UC system. Newsom — an ex officio member of the Board of Regents — is among others asking how the move will benefit all student-athletes, as well as how to mitigate the financial effects it will cause to UC Berkeley, California’s other public university in the Pac 12. NBA – AP source: Harden, 76ers agree on 2-year, $68 million deal James Harden has agreed to terms on a two-year contract to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers and will make about $14.5 million less this coming season than he could have earned under his previous deal, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Wednesday. Harden will sign a deal worth slightly over $68 million, paying him about $33 million this season and with a $35 million player option for the 2023-24 season, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the deal. NBA – Hornets’ Bridges pleads not guilty to domestic violence Prosecutors say Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles to felony domestic violence charges after being accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children last month. The LA County district attorney says his office filed one felony count of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death. Bridges was arrested on June 29 by Los Angeles police and later released on $130,000 bond. NHL – Five women in NHL assistant GM jobs took different paths The five women who currently hold assistant general manager jobs around the NHL each took very different paths to the position. Vancouver’s Cammi Granato and Toronto’s Hayley Wickenheiser were Hall of Fame players. Wickenheiser got a medical degree while working in hockey. Granato did some broadcasting and scouting along the way. Émilie Castonguay was an NHLPA-certified agent for several years before joining the Canucks. Meghan Hunter worked her way up through the Chicago Blackhawks organization. And New Jersey’s Kate Madigan spent time as an accountant before switching careers to go into hockey. NCAA – Transfer portal windows endorsed for final NCAA approval Division I college football players would have two periods of time to enter the transfer portal and be immediately eligible to play if a proposed rule change gets final approval. The Division I Council endorsed several of the Transformation Committee’s initial proposals and passed them on to the D-I Board for approval. The council also moved along recommendations for expanding the benefits schools can provide athletes and concepts to improve the infractions process. Transfer portal entry windows would be set on a sport-by-sport basis. For football, there would be a 45 day-window starting in mid-December and another 15-day window that begins May 1. NCAA – Report: NCAA makes progress on gender inequality at tourneys The NCAA has adequately addressed nine of 23 recommendations for creating comparable NCAA Tournament experiences for men’s and women’s basketball players. That’s according to a progress report from a third party hired by the NCAA. A scathing report issued almost a year ago criticized the NCAA for the differences in how the men’s and women’s tournaments were administered and conducted. Among the most visible changes were “March Madness” branding and increased cross-promotion for both tournaments in 2022 and a “First Four” event for women to bring it into line with the men’s tournament. NCAA – ACC looking for ways to boost revenue, shrink financial gap Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner Jim Phillips says the league is looking for ways to boost its revenue and shrink a rising financial gap with leagues like the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference. That growing gap is stirring uncertainty about the league’s long-term future. Speaking Wednesday at the league’s preseason football media days, Phillips says “all options are on the table” and that the league is having regular conversations with ESPN on possible ways to enhance its TV deal through 2036. The league reported record revenues and distributed $36.1 million to member schools for the 2020-21 season. But the numbers lagged behind the Big Ten and SEC, leagues that are making aggressive expansion moves for future years. Golf – Stenson joins Saudi tour, removed as Ryder Cup captain Henrik Stenson is out as Ryder Cup captain for Europe. The European tour says decisions for his personal life go against the contract he signed to be captain four months ago. In the middle of it all is the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series. Stenson confirmed that he has agreed to play for LIV Golf. It’s a direct challenge to the European tour and Stenson effectively had to choose between being the Ryder Cup captain or taking guaranteed cash from a Saudi-funded league. Europe is now looking for a new captain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NBA – AP source: Harden, 76ers agree on 2-year, $68 million deal James Harden has agreed to terms on a two-year contract to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers and will make about $14.5 million less this coming season than he could have earned under his previous deal, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Wednesday. Harden will sign a deal worth slightly over $68 million, paying him about $33 million this season and with a $35 million player option for the 2023-24 season, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the deal. NBA – Hornets’ Bridges pleads not guilty to domestic violence Prosecutors say Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles to felony domestic violence charges after being accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children last month. The LA County district attorney says his office filed one felony count of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death.

Granato did some broadcasting and scouting along the way. Émilie Castonguay was an NHLPA-certified agent for several years before joining the Canucks.

The council also moved along recommendations for expanding the benefits schools can provide athletes and concepts to improve the infractions process.

He spoke just as LIV Golf officially announced Brooks Koepka was the latest to sign.

Playing for the first time since June 4 due to a thumb injury, Kadri skated in on Andrei Vasilevskiy and slipped a shot under the goaltender’s right arm to give Colorado a 3-1 series lead. The Avalanche outshot the Lightning 11-3 in the extra period. Vasilevskiy stopped Logan O’Connor on a breakaway, and Colorado had a shot clang off the post and another hit the crossbar before Kadri ended it. Game 5 is Friday night in Denver. NHL – Blackhawks’ Hunter becomes 4th woman named NHL assistant GM The Chicago Blackhawks have promoted Meghan Hunter to assistant general manger among several front office moves. She is the fourth woman to be named an assistant GM in NHL history. Hunter joins Vancouver’s Cammi Granato and Emilie Castonguay as the women currently serving in that role with a club. She will be in charge of contracts, budgeting and other departments as AGM of hockey operations. Mark Eaton will remain AGM of development under Brandon Davidson.

NBA – AP source: Jerami Grant to be traded to Portland by Detroit A person with knowledge of the situation said the Detroit Pistons have agreed to trade Olympic gold medalist Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers, with the biggest part of the return being a first-round pick in the 2025 draft. Detroit gets the No. 36 pick in the draft Thursday and what would have been Milwaukee’s first-round pick in 2025, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the agreement publicly. NFL – Tony Siragusa, who helped Ravens win Super Bowl, dies at 55 Tony Siragusa, the charismatic defensive tackle who helped lead a stout Baltimore defense to a Super Bowl title, died Wednesday. He was 55. Siragusa’s broadcast agent, Jim Ornstein, confirmed the death Wednesday. The cause of death was not immediately available. The man known as “the Goose" played seven seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and five with the Ravens. Baltimore’s 2000 team won the Super Bowl behind a defense that included Siragusa, Ray Lewis and Sam Adams. Siragusa was popular with fans because of his fun-loving personality, which also helped him transition to broadcasting after his playing career. Golf – PGA/LIV – PGA Tour in ‘arms race’ of dollars and leaning on loyalty Commissioner Jay Monahan says the PGA Tour is in an arms race it can’t win with LIV Golf when the weapon is Saudi-funded money. His response is to boost prize money in eight elite events and rely on his players’ loyalty and sense of purpose. The new schedule has at least an extra $50 million in prize money. Monahan offers a streamlined schedule for top players that goes from January to August. Also planned are three international events during the fall for only the top performers. He spoke just as LIV Golf officially announced Brooks Koepka was the latest to sign. Golf – The Open – British Open allows golfers from Saudi-backed series to play Players who have joined the new Saudi Arabia-funded league will still be allowed to compete at the British Open next month. The U.S. Open had allowed players who were banned by the PGA Tour for signing up to the LIV Golf series to play at last week’s tournament. R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers says, “Players who are exempt or have earned a place through qualifying for the 150th Open in accordance with the entry terms and conditions will be able to compete in the Championship at St. Andrews.

Dan Rosen and Shawn Roarke were joined by Amalie Benjamin (15:25), NHL.com's Boston-based staff writer, who discussed her recent visit to Vancouver to report on and write about the new-look Canucks' executive staff complete with Emilie Castonguay and Cammi Granato, the first two women assistant general managers in NHL history. Benjamin discussed her interviews with Castonguay and Granato along with conversations she had with Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin, the first Swedish GM in NHL history, and Jim Rutherford, Vancouver's president of hockey operations. Benjamin also discussed the Bruins (32:00), the team she covers most for NHL.com. She touched on the immediate questions about goalie Jeremy Swayman and how he will handle the pressure of the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs, and hit on the future of center Patrice Bergeron, who is 36 years old and can become an unrestricted free agent after this season.  Rosen and Roarke also had a breakdown of the race in the Western Conference (9:00), specifically the Pacific Division, and gave reasons why it's hard for them to believe in any team besides the Calgary Flames. They talked about goalie Marc-Andre Fleury's impact on the Minnesota Wild since his arrival in a trade from the Chicago Blackhawks (5:00). The Wild have won seven in a row, including five straight since Fleury got to Minnesota. The co-hosts also gave some thoughts on the news that came out of the NHL General Managers' meetings (56:00) this week and the passing of Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, who died Monday night. He was 62 years old (58:00).

Wondered aloud how Cammi was the first female scout in the NHL. Thinks it will be easier on her family with border crossings not coming into play as much as when she was in SEA. Talked about the Cammi she knows. Not the most raw-raw leader but she unified the team and got them on the same rope, pulling in the same direction. She has a very strong sense of herself and great opinions. She is willing to hear all sides. Talked about the kind of player that Cammi will gravitate to. Says she can appreciate the whole team and that a team needs a variety of different players. She is very detail orientated in the way she scouts players. Believes she is one of the most thorough scouts out there. If she wants this to be the next step to running a hockey team, it will be up to her but it’s in the realm of possibility. Talked about the Canada v US game recently in women's Olympic hockey. Thinks the US dominated overall but they ran into trouble with the shot blocking. Didn’t think the US PP was very good. Canada takes a lot of penalties but are so confident with their PK. Loved the intensity. You can say every game is meaningless but every game these two countries play is another chapter. Both teams will be hungrier for a little bit more if and when they meet for the Gold Medal game. Talked about the TorStar opinion column about women’s hockey in the Olympics. It’s absurd.
