It's NHL Draft week and the guys are revealing their mock drafts for the 1st Round. The Preds have three 1st-round picks. Will they trade one of them?

Chad & Max are also trying to make sense of the trade for Erik Haula and why Luke Evangelista still hasn't received a new contract.

We'll finish up reacting to Barry Trotz's media availability, and the Florida Panthers are the new bullies on the block with back-to-back Stanley Cups.
