It's hotter than the devil's house cat outside! The boys are back after taking a week off and are feeling the chaotic energy of Summer. This week's Kraken Reaction (5:58) covers the breaking news of NHL trades that are starting to take place ahead of the NHL Draft live this week from Nashville, the rumors of Erik Karlsson going to the Seattle Kraken and how that would impact the organization and the league, MATTY BEERS FOR BENIERS WINS THE CALDER and is officially the NHL Rookie of the Year (cash it, baby!), a congrats to the Hershey Bears on a historic comeback against the Coachella Valley Firebirds during their incredible season, and the NHL Draft. Next, No Dumb Questions (29:05) features member of the Kraken Pod Fam TJ Phelps asking how buyouts work with NHL contracts when it comes to dealing with cap space. Three Stars of the Week sees Joey as a newfound handyman, Jeff's high cholesterol, weather conspiracies, $0.25 martinis, and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
