Honestly Im just content seeing that theres still some interest and dialogue going on about a team which isnt really pegged to be going anywhere for at least a couple years. It really says something. Just goes to show this isnt just “riderville”.
I hope these podcast guys continue what they do; recaps of previous games are an appreciated novelty...and if its not corporately sponsored, it will ensure candid analysis. Who knows...perhaps a point or two may find its way to someones desk who has influence on the team?
One thing in favor for these guys is that theres no shortage of topics to discuss. The most apparent topic they can talk about is the upcoming bantam draft. They can discuss what kind of player they'll draft(or should draft) in the first round and beyond, based on what they need, what they already have, and what they are in range to pick. And whether to take the best player available or best at requires position. they could always bring on an informed guest to share insight on the 2019 class, and maybe even make a couple mock bantam drafts.
Its worth talking about the draft obviously, but also the euro situation; whether its wise to either keep both sedov/alkimov, or to release one(or if possible, trade one) in order to use their high import draft pick on perhaps a better and younger player. Maybe also touch on the likelihood of seeing Savoie or Smilanic report, their thoughts about the coaching, evaluating past trades, updates on former pats in the pros + NHL/KHL etc
Or even general thoughts on the league and the sport, like my favorite bugaboo, the state of the game today.
To me my favorite period, aside from serious playoff games, is training camp. I may have to tune in for coverage if the podcast proves to be more than just boilerplate, basic observations. Even still, like i said, its even just good to put in an effort and generate some discussion.
