Jim Cerny breaks down what Charlie Coyle’s six-year deal in Columbus means for a potential Vincent Trocheck trade out of New York, why Chris Drury must absolutely nail the No. 5 pick and the retool, and whether Mike Sullivan’s B-minus report card grade was fair. Then James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now joins the show for a “misery loves company” sitdown — Devils edition: the Jack Hughes Chicago dinner injury, the Quinn Hughes saga that helped cost Tom Fitzgerald his job, what new GM Sonny Mehta might do, and the Markstrom-Shesterkin goalie fight. Plus: if you’re building a team from scratch with one local coach — Sullivan, Sheldon Keefe, or Peter DeBoer — who do you pick?

My suggestion is Alberts Smits at 5, played regular shift at Olympics for Latvia, big and strong; Brooks Rogowski at later first, a 6-06, 231 pound center and right shot. Big and strong! A project of sorts, JT Miller will be hopefully gone soon! (Nope!) Anything else you get from a Vinny trade will be pretty high level, the free agent market is bare bones this summer!
