Jeff and Elliotte are joined by Vegas Golden Knights owner, Bill Foley, to talk about his Stanley Cup prediction (40:00), who is in charge of designing the ring (and the allowance), the Cup tour this summer, building more rinks in the Vegas area, the salary cap, the difference between the Premier League and the NHL, his favourite Golden Knight and more!
But they kick off the podcast by discussing Elliotte’s conversation with commissioner Gary Bettman in New York at the NHL Board of Governors meeting (00:00) and the news surrounding the “cause-based” jerseys, Arizona, franchise sales, and Larry Tanenbaum selling a share of MLSE holdings (13:10). They also go over what is happening in Calgary (20:40), what we might see from Winnipeg (29:20) and Philadelphia (30:00) next week at the NHL Draft, interest in Milan Lucic (33:20), Hershey Bears winning the Calder Cup (34:00), and if we’ll see Hershey head coach Todd Nelson make the leap to the NHL (36:10).
