Matt and Blake countdown to the start of hockey season with the Young Stars tournament less than one month away, and the opening of training camp just a few days after that. They discuss whether the offseason additions "move the needle" for the Canucks both in the short- and long-term; the differences between Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger; the start of Sweden's hockey season with prospects Jonathan Lekkerimäki and Elias (D) Pettersson; and the need for defence prospects beyond the first-round to hit. The Welcome Matt covers Suter and Filip Hronek, two ex-Red Wings who should come to Vancouver with chips on their shoulders after not fitting into the Yzerplan in Detroit. Frank Corrado joins to evaluate Suter the player and the signing for the Canucks. He discusses the mentality Hronek needs to have with his new team; goal-setting from Elias Pettersson; and the final push for NHLers in their summer training. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
