Matt and Blake record a special emergency edition of Sekeres & Price LIVE discussing the Filip Hronek contract extension! Then, we get into our regular-scheduled program. The Jake Guentzel sweepstakes will be at a fever pitch soon as we’re inside two weeks until free agency opens, so Matt and Blake have no choice but to react to the latest report that the Canucks will be all in to try and land the prized winger. The guys get into what that level of signing would mean to the balance in the lineup, and into the long-term effects on the salary cap. They also preview Game 5 of the Stanley Cup and talk about the somewhat muted interest in the Final despite a Canadian team and the best player on the planet being involved. The perfect guest for all of that is longtime HNIC producer John Shannon, who gives his two cents on what’s happening, and why fan interest is what it is. Plus, he gets in the Amazon deal with the NHL, Guentzel to the Canucks, and the debacle that is the Columbus Blue Jackets.
