Connor McDavid won the Conn Smythe after losing Game 7, and the hosts question the award format.

1. THE Kraken Pod episode 124 focuses on Piper Shaw’s return, the NHL Awards, the NHL Draft, and Seattle’s No. 8 pick. 2. Hosts Jeff Janusik and Joey Cirillo carry the episode as Kraken fans who follow the team’s broadcast news, draft options, and league awards. 3. The episode asks what Seattle can do at eighth overall and whether the NHL Awards and Finals changed how the league should be viewed. 4. Jeff and Joey open by celebrating Piper Shaw’s announcement that she is back with the Seattle Kraken broadcast team. 5. They connect her return to the end of Root Sports coverage and the team’s changing broadcast setup. 6. The hosts then turn to the NHL Awards show from the previous night and note that they were watching highlights rather than the full broadcast. 7. Nathan McKinnon is singled out before the Ted Lindsay Award announcement, with Jeff correctly predicting the winner from the screen. 8. The hosts react to McKinnon’s expression and joke about the serious body language around the Colorado Avalanche management group. 9. They move to the draft and say the Macklin Celebrini pick first overall is treated as a lock. 10. Joey says the Kraken at No. 8 overall should consider Sam Dickinson, a left-shot defenseman from London in the OHL. 11. Dickinson’s 70 points in 68 games and plus-56 rating are used as the main evidence for that fit. 12. The episode also mentions that Seattle has a history of liking defensemen in the draft. 13. The hosts expect movement around the draft because Elliot Friedman warned that trades and other changes could happen before and after free agency. 14. They discuss Russian prospects in the first round and say some teams may be less certain because those players were harder to scout. 15. The Stanley Cup Final gets a long discussion, including Florida’s three straight wins and Edmonton’s collapse in Game 7. 16. Jeff argues that Connor McDavid should have treated the Conn Smythe Trophy differently because the award landed on him after an Edmonton loss. 17. The show adds that the Conn Smythe does not go home with players and instead stays at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. 18. The tone stays loose and conversational, with ad reads, betting talk, and constant interruptions around family life and travel. 19. Kraken fans who track the draft, broadcasts, and NHL awards will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners who want tight analysis without side conversations may skip it.
