The Road to Round Two with Rod Brind'Amour

4/27/202650 min

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee lead off with the latest on the Toronto Maple Leafs' GM search, which is reportedly hanging on a decision from Mats Sundin. Later, following the Hurricanes' First-Round sweep over the Ottawa Senators, Carolina head coach Rod Brind'Amour joins the show (14:42) to reflect on Round One, Frederik Andersen's post-season so far, Jordan Staal's leadership, and more. Nick, Justin and Sam discuss Brady Tkachuk's lack of production in the series and his future in Ottawa, before they're joined by Jason Bukala (32:16) from the U-18 World Championship in Slovakia. Buks chats about how teams are approaching the draft in June, who the Leafs might target if they keep their pick, his roster-construction takeaways from the First Round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and Tkachuk's trade value.
