With winter finally loosing it’s icy grip in Canda (well, except in Calgary apparently) and all the great white north teams out of the playoffs, thoughts are unviersally turning to the upcoming draft and free agency. Those topics plus the WHL playoffs and World Hockey Championships are explored today with Corey Graham, Scott Cullen, Jim Byers and others.
This is Nation Radio.

In part two, we welcome Oil Kings PbP voice and regular guest Corey Graham. He discusses the WHL finals, including Portland’s firepower, the crowds in Edmonton and a "missed" goal call in game 2 of the series.
Segment three features an open session and reader emails. Lowetide shares his thoughts on NHL afternoon games, the draft and his top 10.
OKC PbP man Jim Byers is guest #3 this week. He looks at the Barons playoff push and provides updates on Colton Teubert and Alex Plante.
Nations overlord Kent Wilson checks in to talk about the Flames Roman Cervenka signing as well as the possibility of Calgary trading Kiprusoff this summer. Valuing "content over style" in player evaluations is also discussed.
Finally, Benjamin Massey of Copper ‘n Blue and Eightysixforever shares some thoughts on Edmonton FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps. LT wraps things up with more draft talk.
Whole show.
