Horcoff's Interim Tag, Dylan Larkin's Wild Presser, & Todd McLellan Delivers | Ep. 407

Shawn Horcoff gets named interim GM two months into the search, and it plays like a fallback after Chris Ilitch's first choice said no. Greg and Ryan break down what Horcoff actually confirmed about Edvinsson and DeBrincat, and how an eighteen-minute presser still managed to say almost nothing.

Then Dylan Larkin sits down for his first media session since requesting a trade and gives no explanation, no confirmation that the request still stands, and a captaincy answer that rubbed both hosts the wrong way. What he said, what he dodged, and why it landed so badly.

Second half: Todd McLellan's press conference, easily the most substantive of the week. Marco Kasper's shooting percentage regression explained with an Ovechkin comparison, who steps up now that Patrick Kane and James van Riemsdyk are gone, and the roster battle between MBN and Carter Bear heading into a shortened preseason.
