It's the week of the NHL Draft and we are just eight days away from the beginning of free agency.

Will the Islanders move Noah Dobson by the draft?From there, they dug into their offseason previews for the eight teams in the Western Conference that made the playoffs. They started with the St. Louis Blues, who are facing some big questions this summer. The Minnesota Wild are in a position where they can be hyper-aggressive. The Colorado Avalanche are low on funds, but need to make some moves to fix a roster that was bounced in the first round. The Los Angeles Kings are in an interesting spot with a new GM and boatload of cap space.They kept rolling and hit on the Winnipeg Jets, who are bringing in 3x Stanley Cup Champion Jonathan Toews. What else will Kevin Cheveldayoff do? The guys gave their takes. Vegas never sits still in the offseason and the expectacion is that they will push hard for Mitch Marner. The Dallas Stars already made some spicy decisions after getting bounced by the Oilers in the Western Confernce Final. They still need a coach, but will that be the last big move they make?They wrapped by talking about the Oilers, the McDavid extension, and what they need to do in order to get back to the Stanley Cup Final.Tyler joined for Buy or Sell where he asked about Marner's contract, Jake Allen's place on the goalie market, and the Rasmus Andersson situation in Calgary.1:45 - Peterka, Dobson and more8:20 - St. Louis Blues15:00 - Minnesota Wild21:00 - Contract Extensions (Kaprizov and McDavid)25:45 - Colorado Avalanche32:45 - Los Angeles Kings40:20 - Fill in the Blank52:00 - Winnipeg Jets1:00:00 - Vegas Golden Knights1:05:25 - Dallas Stars1:07:55 - Edmonton OilersWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

While the effort was there, the results were not. And the constant capitulation in the face of victory -- or more points -- has everyone pegging the Galaxy as the 15th-best team in the Western Conference. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 3-3 draw with St. Louis and why Marco Reus, Gabriel Pec, and Matheus Nascimento showed up -- for the most part. Can the Galaxy get their offense going now that they scored three goals for the first time in 2025? Can the defense rise to the occasion? Or have Maya Yoshida and Zanka worn out their welcome? Let's talk about it all! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past number 1,200! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2025!

After falling to Tyrese Haliburton's miracle shot with 0.3 seconds left in Game 1, the Thunder bounced back in a major way in Game 2 with a dominant victory thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 34-point effort.
