We love a blockbuster trade and we really want to see the Kraken get involved in one. With Toronto landing the #1 pick in the NHL Draft and them reportedly growing tired of Auston Matthews, what would it take for the Kraken to land Matthews in a trade? :30- Baseball has discovered something new and amazing and we can't wait for you to hear all about it! :45- Russell Wilson has some options… backup Geno, begin broadcasting career or become a full -time Banana… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Framber Valdez isn't making a lot of fans, but was he justified in last night's actions? The debate about “sign-stealing” vs plunking vs policing the issues continues. :30- MIKE BENTON (KAN) joins the show after last night's NHL Draft lottery. Ok, let's jump right in; is the NHL draft lottery rigged? Cause last night's results sure seemed suspect. Is an Auston Matthews trade now a possibility? Possibly, but the competition will be fierce. The Kraken landed the 7th pick, should they trade it and what could they realistically get for it? Priority #1 is keeping Bobby McMann, can the Kraken get it done? :45- We close out the show with one last thing!
