I’d like to see some fresh blood between the benches vs bringing in Jamie full time. I’m fine if Jamie fills in on random absences, but a person like Joey I think has more than shown he’s ready from the radio broadcast. Also, bozie could be an awesome guy to keep around the organization. He would automatically have the respect from the players and get good intel.

Glad to see Chris Butler’s name in the mix. I remember Jim Thomas praising his hockey smarts in the 2018-2019 season.

Bozak could be good. Dude has a sense of humor.

Hutton would be fun. Those interview videos he used to do for the team were great.

How about Jon Hamm?

I doubt Chase is realistic as he’s likely a little too publicly political for the full time gig. Kind of a powder keg waiting to explode.
Vitale is awesome on the radio but not sure he would translate as well to TV. Might be awesome if might be unwatchable.
Bozak is obviously a really interesting idea but hard to know one way or the other as he’s literally never called a game. Have to expect the first few months would be tough sledding.
Don’t really have any comment on the rest. You have to figure Rivers is going to be the main guy. He’s fine I guess. Pang had his worst season that I can remember on the local broadcast — I think he was distracted with more national broadcast and honestly I think his ego was starting to get the better of him as the season wore on…it was time for him to get a fresh start IMO. I hope there can be a solid rotation rather than just Rivers and we can find someone that can be really solid alongside JK.

Joey V turned out way better than I expected. Energy, personality, insightful takes…he’d be good.
On the other hand, would love to get more Molly B twitter takes. Now that I think of it, break the mold – hire Molly!

Oh man. I really enjoy Mike McKenna on DFO pods.

Might be a bit tougher market for a first timer, we’re spoiled with one of the best crews in the league.

Bozak. There’s your headline, print it.

I think Jamie sticks with what he’s doing and one of the other guys gets the shot, Bozak would be great, Chase would be great but I’m thinking he’s liking his new lifestyle in retirement.

I don’t hate these options other than Rivers! So I’m expecting Rivers!

Feel like Bozak could be like Brad Thompson. Could be awesome.

My wife might actually watch some games if I told her that she might get to see Tyson Nash again.

Give Molly Bozak the microphone you cowards!
