We continue the show talking about Erik Karlsson and his last days in Ottawa (possibly).  He will most likely be moving at the draft or the start of free agency, but where will he land?  Are the Islanders good for him and he for them.  Most expect the Rangers to get heavily involved, but is the re-build a good spot for E.K. to continue his career?  Moving out west the Forecheckers discuss the extension of Antti Raanta’s contract…very team friendly in our opinion, and with the numbers he has put up, the team’s fortunes could be on the rise.  Solid now in goal and lots of youth…Chayka may know what he is doing after all.  Alain Vigneault has been behind the bench for half a decade with the Rangers but no more! Will he land on his feet?  Will the Rangers find their new coach quickly or do they already have him?  NCAA Hockey takes center stage as the final is played and the Hobey Baker is handed out. Do goaltenders get the shaft when it comes to this award…we discuss.  Henrik Lundquist says that next year has to be about winning, but has he looked at the roster lately.  We break it down for him.  J.T. Miller was moved off that roster at the deadline to Tampa Bay, but many teams should consider making him an offer.  The Forecheckers point out some of the potential landing spots.  Finally, congrats to Ken Holland on his extension. Is this good news for Jeff Blashill? Should he have been extended?  All this coming at you full speed and we aren’t done.  The Playoff Supplemental show is around the corner on Tuesday and the playoffs will be exciting.  Give us a listen and stick with us as we wax poetic about all things hockey.  Let us know what you think, give us your feedback good or bad!  What should we put on the topic list?  Enjoy the s
