Matt Marchese and Mike Futa open the Friday edition with the Burning Question of the Day: What is the best rivalry in hockey right now? Then, the guys tee up the weekend with the Futa Five before welcoming in Sportsnet's Jason Bukala (14:53) to review his early draft rankings, identify prospects that could be big risers ahead of the draft, discuss the state of minor and junior hockey, and more! Later, Carolina Hurricanes forward Nick Deslauriers (43:25) stops by to discuss what it means to be a Stanley Cup champion, signing an extension during the Cup parade, why he's a perfect fit for 'Hurricanes Hockey,' and how he went from an AHL defenceman to one of the league's toughest forwards.
