Let's start with number five, the draft just around the corner is Macklin Celeb gonna go
number one overall. Most people agree. Yes, that's going to happen. San Jose has the number
one pick the center who is currently at Boston University. Everybody agrees he is the full
package. His father is also the VP of player and health performance for the Golden State
Warriors. So he grew up around professional sports. His dad also worked for several other
sports organizations. So he's one of those guys, he's gonna know what he's getting himself
into. He's gonna know the commitment and know that he's got to pay attention to the details.
All right, let's go to number four, Greg Barrus impact on the lease. Anybody who's going
to take the coaching job at Toronto. No, it is packed with a lot of pressure, but I do think
Berube is the right guy for the job. Like I said, high pressure, he's going to be able to
handle that. Toronto is still reeling from an unsuccessful postseason. Lots of questions
around how such a talented roster is not succeeding, however, seems to be really
confident in the players that he has So I think he's gonna be able to bring some success
to the lease. All right, let's go up to number three help for Connor Bedard. Uh, the rookie
was fantastic throughout his rookie season. However, a lot of people are wondering, are the
Black Hawks going to bring in some help, uh, for the Young Ford? There's some, some really
valuable free agents that are gonna be available. It'd be interesting to bring maybe
Jake Gel Steven Samos. Also Sam Reinhart who scored in overtime last night is going to be a
free agent come July 1. So I'm sure Connor B but would appreciate a little bit of help. All
right, let's go up to number two for me. It's the Mitch Marner trade saga. Lots of rumors
going around on where Mitch Marner might go. A lot of what I'm hearing is there potential.
Maybe he'll go to Chicago help out like I was talking about. Also, Vegas has been talking
about it and there's also some rumors surrounding Nashville. He's in the final year
or excuse me next year will be the final year of his $65.48 million contract. So we'll see
obviously gonna take a lot of money to get Mitch Marner. All right. Number one for me, Sam
Reinhart free agency. As I mentioned, there's gonna be a lot of free agents, but Sam Reinhart
is arguably having the best season of a contract year that anybody has had last night,
he was able to score in overtime. Obviously, this is a guy that you want on your team. It's
gonna be interesting to see where he ends up. I think a lot of, a lot of people are going to
want him. Um, in July 1 is gonna get real interesting for Sam Rehire. All right, those
are my off season. Top story lines.
