With the end of development camps around the NHL there isn't much on ice product to speak of until September. We at the Forecheck however continue to stride forward. Two players have called it a career...Michael Stone and Patric Hornqvist. We take a look at a few value UFA's still available as of this show; Bear, Dumba, Comtois and Suter. We also discuss why Filip Zadina is available and what to expect from Milan Lucic this upcoming season. Finally we spend most of the show waxing poetic over this year's Bruins Development Camp. Names like Ethan Ritchie, Oskar Jellvik and Ryan Kirwan come up. A lighter show this week but still opinion worthy so give a listen and tell us who you saw and liked. Enjoy the Show!

With the awards and the draft behind us, we focus on the start of Free Agency. The show starts with a focus on some signings and draftees, turning our attentions to the Phildelphia Flyers. The big story of the day is the hostile takeover of the PHF by the PWHPA. There is quite a bit to digest here but we attempt to break it into smaller pieces (with a little emotion mixed in). We re-direct and talk about what the local organization has done with the draft and free agency (again...emotions play a bit part) and what they could do going forward. Throughout the show we mix in the results of 3 Twitter Polls that were conducted over the last week. We touch on Development Camp and review the prospects we focused on pre-draft. Oh yeah...we mention a couple members of that ridiculous '03 draft! Thought provoking show this week so give a listen and tell us how you feel! Enjoy the Show!

With the playoffs over, we at the Forecheck turn our attention to the future and the upcoming NHL Draft. First, we start with a conversation regarding Gary Bettman's comments to Elliotte Friedman from the Board of Governors meeting. Jersey nights (Pride, Hockey Fights Cancer, etc.), Salary Cap, the Coyotes Future and other topics were broached. Ryan Johansen was dealt to the Avalanche along with half his salary for Alex Galchenyuk. Mike and Chris break down 12 potential draftees at this year's shindig. There was only one crossover with none of the prospects ranked higher than 45. We put out a poll regarding Ullmark's future with the Bruins, and the results were inconclusive. Finally, our fave agent, Allan Walsh, made his feelings known once again with a tweet regarding the starting salaries of number one draft picks for 3 of the 4 major sports. Remarkably, the NHL was the lowest. With the draft upcoming, give us a listen and let us know who you are looking forward to seeing picked. Enjoy the Show!
