Dust Buckets Podcast

The fellas get together to recap the Masters, the Frozen Four NCAA championship, the NHL trade deadline and conclusion of the regular season, along with an in-depth playoff preview.

After a brief hiatus, the boys reconvene to recap the trade deadline and make sense of the NCAA tournament, the white-hot wild card race, and Ovechkin's pursuit of Gretzky's all-time goals record.

Fowkesy and Shearsy take us through the Four Nations Championship and offer further reflections on the tournament as a whole before diving into recent NHL happenings. Then, in the spirit of growing the game across the world, we go back in time to spring 2023 with Bags, Fowkesy, Shearsy and Addy sitting down with Irish Ice Hockey Association President Aaron Guli and Director of Hockey Ops Paul Cummins. Congratulations to Paul, by the way, on his recent success in the Ireland's Fittest Family Competition! The IIHA will be also making the rounds across the pond in the States to celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2025!

Four Nations prelims. That's it

J.T. Miller to New York, Granlund and Ceci to Dallas, and other NHL trade developments since the Necas/Rantanen/Hall deal are covered in this episode, as well as hypothetical Czech and Russian Four Nations rosters, and a recap of the Beanpot semifinals and a preview of next Monday's BU/BC winner-take-all.

In the wake of free agency and the 2021 expansion draft, we have a conversation with our first-ever guest – Seattle Kraken director of pro scouting Dave Baseggio – about Seattle's strategy going into this crazy offseason. The landscape of the league is changing by the day, so tune in to hear how the Kraken front office approached their inaugural season!
