A Sphere, A Draft, and BTS with a Former Agent & GM

The FAN Pregame

For some behind the scenes stories of the NHL Draft we start the show with Brian Lawton (5:40) who was a former 1st overall pick, then a former agent and former GM as well. During his time in Tampa he discusses what it’s like making deals and has specific thoughts on Steve Stamkos' future, what he’s worth and what he’s looking for. Lawton then shares how deals get made, a story about making a trade he was against and how it impacted his relationship with the players involved. Then we go to the sphere and we are live on the scene with Jon Morosi (24:54) who looks at the biggest stories inside draft weekend rounds out with the start of free agency, a look at the Four Nations roster and more. Jon also gives his thoughts on the Jays and why he feels Ross Atkins made a significant change in his strategy this week. Could there be a Vladdy trade?
