<div align="center">Blizzard Brunch: Free Agent Additions, Last Season’s woes for Edmonton, Overview of Western Conference, Off-season Trades, Lucas Smith’s Departure, Defenseman Prospect – Hans Ponsen, S24 Draft Class

</div>

Jeff O’Neil: Thanks for joining us today, so we’re here on the Blizzard Brunch. We’re going to talk about many things such being the newest free agent additions, the Blizzard’s lone prospect addition, the season 24 Draft Class, and a sort of preview at the Edmonton Blizzard’s season.

Jamie McLennan: Yeah, well let’s get to it.

Jeff O’Neil: Edmonton recently went into the free agent frenzy looking to target depth and they’ve goth that with Aviad Razton – their hugest signing who’s going to likely find himself somewhere in the top six. Those are some tough task to hold, but he’s obviously the type we can see excelling with those roles. How’s this going to affect Edmonton heading into the season does this do anything in the locker room?

Jamie McLennan: I think it’s a great signing. He’s a great player to add to the team and he’s definitely going to benefit the team after losing such talent as Muerto’s. However, it does suck for the Blizzard that he requested a sign & trade rather than signing up front. It does show the character you’re getting, but that makes Edmonton loses assets that they really didn’t need to lose. However, one thing that really stands out to me is that how will this affect the Blizzard’s chances at resigning center, Miles Berger. We all know he’s really eyeing for that top six role, so does this make it a tough situation for management, or a good one?

Jeff O’Neil: Honestly, if you asked me that’s a good situation. It’ll make Ratzon work for his minutes now that he knows that Berger’s trying to get those minutes because they've both been heading into the gym a lot trying to gain the management’s trust that both are capable of playing the top six role. However, I don't believe this affects Edmonton long term because it will push Berger to work hard to gain those minutes and if he truly wants them then he will. Of course, there's also that Berger has shown great interest in staying a Blizzard for a long time, so we do not expect this to affect the two as we know that Berger's dedicated to the team and Ratzon the same. Berger was one of the teammates who reached out to Ratzon during the off-season working out with him trying to lure him into signing with the team. Also, there were rumors they ate lunch and we’d assume that means the two we're talking about the usual hockey business as the two were becoming teammates and both being centers perhaps they discussed the team's future, team's success, and where there at now. It was also reported that Berger may have opened his home to Ratzon while he adjusted to the new scenery.

Jamie McLennan: So, to answer your question this doesn't do anything to affect the chemistry or bond in the locker room it probably strengthens the bond as the team knows that Ratzon is a team first guy, so him coming in just makes the atmosphere more loose. Also, he's a class act. Matter of fact, it probably brings them closer. Berger excelled as a secondary scorer last season, so we can expect another consistent season from him as he’s never managed to hit below the 25 points mark as a secondary scorer. However, the question is now what Ratzon can accomplish as the top six center. He’s going to need to fill big shoes as that role was once held by Kyle Keenan who’s looking to move to the wing for the upcoming season and moving on.

Jeff O’Neil: It’s going to definitely be a tough role for one to fill. However, we can see Ratzon hitting the 35 points mark next season because knowing the Edmonton Blizzard the scoring is spread out rather than being held by one guy. Their scoring is consistent through all lines, so there’s no doubt in my mind that the kid’s going to break 30. I don’t know if he can break 40 or 50, but to break 50 in the league nowadays takes a lot of talent. Ratzon’s still developing, so to expect such numbers would imply that Ratzon is one of the stars in this league. Ratzon previously put up 13 goals and 25 points with West Kendall last season as he participated on the second line. So, he’s definitely been in the top six role. However, can he improve on those numbers next season as a second line center in the Western Conference or will the defense be too much for him? It’s going to be a tough task, but I say the kid puts up around 20 goals and 35 points for sure.

Jamie McLennan: I’d be shocked if he didn’t, which is a good point. It’s exciting seeing this team transform after a disheartening game seven loss to the Los Angeles Panthers and to see them stacking up with some depth this off-season it shapes up well for the team to contend in the strong Western Conference. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them finish around second or third and the first place title going to the Texas Renegades in the West as they’ve quickly built a powerhouse team through the off-season.

Jeff O’Neil: Definitely, this team looks better with the addition of Ratzon & Smirnov, but that’s not enough to prove they’re a lock for the number one seed in the Western Conference or even a lock for the playoffs as we know how crazy that conference is. We’ve seen a team like Winnipeg and no disrespect to Winnipeg as I love what they’re doing over there, but that team nine times out of ten doesn’t win the President’s Trophy. Although, when you’ve got a goaltender like Prikulis carrying you and the help of star, Onoprienko I guess anything can happen. Again, not to diss what they’re doing over there as their general manager is doing great things adding to the history that we all love about Edmonton. However, what’s your thought on the Smirnov acquisition?

Jamie McLennan: I see it more as a project signing. No one knows how well Smirnov can do for the team, but the ceiling is pretty high. He’s got some talent, but his talent is still raw as he’s not ready for the SHL as of now. However, if we do see him with the team sometime near the playoffs just throwing it out there then I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s definitely got the scoring touch and he could perfect that third line with Berger who’s a playmaker. It’ll be an interesting situation with Edmonton and they’ve given him all the tools to succeed he’s just going to need to put it together and get the work ethic flow going for the seasons to come. Again, this is a great signing if Smirnov pans out, but if he busts then we’ll just look at it as another project. It’s definitely a smart signing because Edmonton doesn’t lose much other than cap they weren’t going to use.

Jeff O’Neil: Let’s take a look at Smirnov’s stats last season with the Scarecrows, so he put 17 goals and 48 points in season 22 and 20 goals with 42 points in season 21. He’s definitely rocked the SMJHL, so he could actually turn out become a strong pick that’s if he can set his mind to becoming a strong depth player for the Blizzard. Edmonton’s filled with some young wingers, so he’ll have to work his way into the top six, but if he’s got the work ethic then it’s definitely doable. It’s an exciting journey for him and he possess great talent that I can see him squeezing into the third line and possibly on the powerplay next season. Edmonton’s general manager, Cole Reinhart is the type to give those who are working hard some strong minutes regardless their role on the team. It was evident last season as he leaned on placing Berger into their top six at times and even on the powerplay & penalty kill towards the end of the season through the playoffs. It definitely worked, but we’ll have to see how it can work with Smirnov. Nonetheless, great signing. It’s a low risk, high reward type signing, and so no complaints from me. Alright, so moving on what are your thoughts on the team’s performance last season. Can they replicate such success and possibly carry themselves past the second round to return to the Challenge Cup Finals once more?

Jamie McLennan: Last season’s performance was great. We saw the team really click and come together bonding, but of course they didn’t finish off the season with the Challenge Cup as they lost to the Los Angeles Panthers game seven in the second round and the Panthers would go on to lose to the Manhattan Rage in seven. However, it’s definitely tough swallowing that type of loss because the team was built for the long run, but couldn’t get that win on the road. Although, the Panthers never controlled their wins it was always a one goal win, which is tougher to swallow, but should be some hope for the future. It tells you that the Blizzard are strong and can hold off the best of the best because when the Blizzard won their games it was convincing not necessarily blowouts, but convincing. Also, for them to take out the President Trophy winners who seemed to be the favourites of the West in five games was something that the team should be really proud of. I’m not sure if it was really a surprise because they arguably had a stronger team, but they really lit up Prikulis that series, who was the best goaltender in the league last season.

<div align="center"></div>

Jeff O’Neil: It’s definitely a newer looking team, but I think they’ve got the talent, depth, and chemistry needed to carry themselves to the Challenge Cup. It’s going to rely on a few things such as chemistry, getting hot at the right time, home ice advantage, and depth. If their secondary scoring is clicking next season then the team can make it past pretty much any team, but they’ll need to find success on the road as well. Last season the team never won a game on the road, so there’s definitely some room to worry if the team doesn’t manage to claim a top two position in the Western Conference, which would clinch their home ice advantage. It’s great knowing that your team performs on the home ice in front of the great fans of Edmonton at the Rexall Place, but if you can’t win on the road then you’re done for in the playoffs. I can see this team returning to the Challenge Cup Finals after a long absence, but first they’d need to make the playoffs again. However, their defense definitely is solidified with the addition of Friedrich Muller and with the stronger minutes that Jackson Rogers-Tanaka will have to hold we could see these two really benefiting off of each other making for a great duo that Edmonton will need to separate themselves from other teams. I’m assuming that Aittokallio will have another stellar season in the playoffs, but he’ll need to perform better in the regular season if this team’s eying a strong finish. I think the team’s done with trying to squeeze into the playoffs they’re looking to make sure that everyone knows they belong there and their a strong team if they make it. I’m going to say that Winnipeg, Edmonton, Texas, and Seattle are going to make it next season. I’m leaving out Los Angeles because as the other teams got stronger they just watched, which could end up being a mistake. However, if both Morley and Weekes have another strong season then there’s no worries for the team as he could lead them into another strong finish. It’s definitely the Western Conference, so there’s always going to be some surprises, but if I were to pick the teams who are likely to make it next season then that’s it.

Jamie McLennan: Those are some bold predictions, but I’m going with Seattle, Edmonton, Texas, and Los Angeles. I don’t think Winnipeg’s going to compete as well as they did last season, but we never know what the staff brings us as they’re a consistent team to worry about every season no matter what they look like on paper. Also, with them gaining some players from the juniors I many have to eat crow at the end of the season. Also, I agree that I can see this team returning to the Challenge Cup Finals and it’ll be a rocking crowd if they do in Edmonton as they sure do love their hockey. It’s been long since they’ve been in the Challenge Cup Finals and I believe they’re due. However, the Texas Renegades are going to be the toughest team to beat next season and it doesn’t help that they play in the same conference.

Jeff O’Neil: Speaking about the Texas Renegades what are your thoughts on them just to spring a discussion?

Jamie McLennan: They’re looking to be a very strong team and I think they’ll likely make it to the second round, but we know this story all too well. You come into the regular season with some big changes and your team looks like a favourite for the Challenge Cup only to lose in the first round. I think they’re a lock for the playoffs, but I’m not too sure on them winning the Challenge Cup. Every other team in this league’s coming in with one goal and that’s to win the Challenge Cup, so we’ll just have to see. However, as of now they aren’t a bad team to choose as the favourite to win the Challenge Cup, but I’m not sold on it. I could see the falling in the second round if they face Los Angeles or Edmonton. Again, it depends on seeds, luck, depth, and the home ice advantage. Also, another thing to take note of is that FourFour’s coming off a disappointing season and he could bounce back with force to redeem his title as the best goaltender in the SHL or he could perform poorly again and cost Texas of a top finish. Whatever it is we know that the Western Conference is a weird place to play and nothing’s for certain as we could see the Calgary Dragons possibly finishing first next season. It’s all depending on luck and getting hot at the right times.

Jeff O’Neil: Agreed, I definitely can see the Texas Renegades making it into the Challenge Cup Finals. However, they’re not guaranteed anything, so their fan-base better not go claiming that their victors yet as they do often because we’ve still got a season to play. One that could possibly see the team fall out of the playoffs and that would definitely be embarrassing whilst diminishing their hopes at becoming the greatest dynasty to play in the SHL. Although, missing the playoffs last season already diminishes their claims to be the greatest dynasty ever because finishing last in the conference isn’t enough to hold themselves to the Edmonton Blizzards dynasty from season 13 to season 16. However, both are different in their own respective ways. It’s going to be a fun ride this season.

Jamie McLennan: Indeed, so tell us your in depth look at the Western Conference? I think there are many teams that can sneak in, but many teams have stocked up while others are either idle or have decreased their stock.

Jeff O’Neil: Oh, well the western conference is definitely the toughest conference to play in. It’s always a battle until the last game of the season, but to speak more on the teams. Seattle’s looking pretty good, but they haven’t really changed much. I like that they’re getting Winnfield to return for another season with the new contract and they’ve got young talent such as Leonidas. He’s going to be a huge threat to opposing teams as he steps into a bigger role and as he develops. However, they lost defenders, Drake and Perron. It’ll be interesting to see how that affects the team, but I’m seeing them finishing the season in the final spot, but heading strong into the playoffs. However, their depth diminishes with them trading away those defenders for picks in the upcoming drafts, which is good for their future. However, as of the present they need depth to win in the west and without that I don’t see them running deep in the playoffs. Calgary’s looking to be in a bit of a retool, so they’ll be a team that I’ll be watching this season. I’m interested in watching their young talents develop, but if Pergher, Boychuk, and Martrell are spotted in the opening lineups come opening day then that could be a boost to team’s speed. Also, when the fresh legs step onto the ice that’s always good for the team perhaps that can boost them enough into the playoffs. Also, it’s going to be interesting watching forward, Esa Anrikkanen after signing a huge extension can he lead Calgary to the playoffs & further?

Jamie McLennan: Those are definitely some good points. We’ve spoke already on the Texas Renegades, so I’ll just skip them just for the sake of not being redundant. Next, the Winnipeg Jets could replicate their previous success with the addition of eighth overall pick, Bryce Collins and season 22 first round pick, Drew Myers. These two are great additions to the lineup adding speed, excitement and fresh legs. However, the team will be enjoying the likes of prospect, Bursyuk as he heads into his first season in the SHL after a long journey in the SMJHL capped off with a Four Star championship. It’ll be exciting to see how the sophomore, Einstein can fare on the top pairing for the Winnipeg Jets. Also, can Stanfield play the role as the top defenseman again next season or will he crumble under the pressure. Winnipeg’s definitely a force to be reckoned with, but how much of a force are they to opposing teams as they’re another team that really didn’t shop out of for a strong free agent. However, we know that the staff works so hard that they don’t need star players and they just work with whoever they’re given excelling with them too. Los Angeles’ doesn’t need much spoken about as they’re the reigning western conference champions and they can definitely return to the Challenge Cup Finals this season that’s if Brian Morley can record another great season. Also, they’ll need Weekes to continue his success from last season. However, Los Angeles is definitely going to be another threat to the Edmonton Blizzard this season, but I don’t see them dominating this season as they really stood duck while the other teams upgraded. I’m excited to see how Pedersen can do with the top line minutes. Although, he definitely showed promising glimpses last season in the playoffs so did Boyka & Modano’s heroics. With the addition of McGraw the team’s only getting strong whilst being young, so the things that general manager, Niclas Wastlund is doing in Los Angeles are top notch as he continues to make the team more appealing after another strong draft picking up goaltender, Erik Lundqvist and Latvian defenseman, Toms Berkis. I’m expecting this team to thrive as the players develop, so better things to expect from the Panthers squad next season. I’ll call a top three finish.

Jeff O’Neil: Alright, you’re talking too much. That’s enough on that subject. Edmonton just traded for Friedrich Muller and Wahlstrom who was later traded to West Kendall apart of the Ratzon trade and sign. However, they lost Riko Muerto in this process – a huge part of the franchise and has contributed to their success for a long time, although both parties decided it was time for a change and have parted. Edmonton lost DuJardin as well, so that leaves Edmonton without one of their top forwards, but brings in a young top defenseman and allowed the Blizzard to have more cap space to commit their off-season acquisitions. Nonetheless, losing Muerto still affects this team perhaps in a tougher way for others, but it’ll definitely take its toll once they step onto the ice good or bad?

Jamie McLennan: It’s definitely tough losing such an important piece such as Riko Muerto, but the change of scenery perhaps is best for both parties. Muerto gets to go be the top player in Hamilton whilst Edmonton gets a young number one defenseman who solidifies their defense, which was one of the things holding them back. I think Muerto’s time was coming to an end in Edmonton either it being retirement, walking, or a trade. It seems that management chose the latter and good for them trying to get a return, but there’s no harm done in the trade. Also, it’s just a great opportunity for Friedrich Muller who had recently asked out. I’m certain that this kid can run Edmonton’s defense and possibly make a case for the Scott Stevens trophy because you never know. I was excited when the team picked up Wahlstrom, but to see him leave so early is somewhat disheartening and causes that moment where you think what could have happened. However, he’ll be joining the West Kendall Platoon, so it’s a great opportunity for him, although he has yet to star in his first game. However, it’s a developing stage for him and we wish him luck and a great recovery. I don’t know how much losing DuJardin will affect the Blizzard, but it was another move that you had to make. It’s all about winning now for this team and Muller brings that while DuJardin’s a great depth defenseman Muller’s a defenseman that can be relied upon heavily as the number one guy. It’s definitely tough to lose players because of the bond that you have built in the locker room, but hockey’s a business and sometimes things need to be completed. I’m sure this move will do great wonders for both sides as both centerpieces are great players and should provide great talent for both respective teams. However, being a bit bias I like this more for the Edmonton Blizzard as they receive a young player who’s reaching the work ethic of those who are two or three years older than him. He’s definitely ahead of his class and he’s a great pickup. Kudos to Cole Reinhart on that acquisition.

Jeff O’Neil: Now, let’s talk about the Blizzard losing many players to retirement such as Forsberg, Barkov, David Smith, and most notable the legend and captain, Lucas Smith. I think this will affect them to an extent next season as David Smith is replaced with Friedrich Muller. Forsberg didn’t really do much for the team and his replacement will be Alexei Smirnov. Kari Barkov is a tough one to swallow as well, but it was known going into the trade deadline that the Blizzard were eyeing to bulk up doing just that trading for a retiring forward. However, losing Lucas Smith is definitely going to be one that’s hard. He was their captain, their legend, and their hero. He’s been a part of the franchise for who knows how long now and he’s leaving to head into the agency business. We just wish him good luck and bid our farewells. However, he was definitely what you thought of when you heard ‘Edmonton Blizzard’ and this one affects the locker room, the team’s roster, and the fans. Here’s a guy who’s been through the dark clouds and the glory days. He’s a part of the team’s success and the all-time leading scorer for the Blizzard. He’s got the Blizzard identity and when we hear his name we think of the Blizzard. It’ll be exciting to see how the team can far without his leadership, who’ll they take on as the new leader. I think a safe bet would be Matthew Buchesner or perhaps the team decideds to choose no captain and head the three assistant captains route the possibilities are definitely endless. However, now starts life without Lucas Smith and it’ll definitely be weird to start, but the Blizzard will have to adjust trying to get over it.

Jamie McLennan: Definitely, Lucas Smith is a tough piece to lose for this team. Despite his deteriorating play on the ice he always had a voice in the locker room. Therefore, it’s going to be a tough lose personally. However, I believe they’ll definitely get over the hump on the ice as they’re inviting their newest addition, Alexei Smirnov, but Smirnov won’t have the talent that’s needed to have the same effect L. Smith did throughout his career in just his rookie season. So, it’ll take some developing and we may see some hard times for the rookie, but we can see his true character through this time. Although, this isn’t to knock on the talent that Lucas Smith possessed on the ice throughout his career it was just that he was coming to a time where his game wasn’t working may that be to old age or the other guys being fresh and young. Nonetheless, Lucas Smith went out with a better season than his previous one where he put up a career low 10 goals and 17 points, but this season he put up 14 goals and 22 points playing on a line with Miles Berger. Berger calls it a great learning experience stating that L. Smith taught him a lot that he believes will help him become a top line center one day. That just shows you the effect that Smith left on his teammates not only on Edmonton, but on team Canada as well. There’s no doubt in my mind that Lucas Smith’s jersey will be in the rafters at Rexall Place and he should find himself in the Hall of Fame shortly as well because someone who’s had as great of
a career as he’s had deserves those kinds of rewards. Congratulations.

Jeff O’Neil: Great career. One that many will look back on because he truly is a legend and I thank him for his time with the Blizzard. Now, what’s your take on prospect, Hans Ponsen who’s a defenseman for the Kelowna Knights?

<div align="center"></div>

Jamie McLennan: Oh boy. Watching this kid play with Kelowna last season was a delight, I caught plenty games while I was on the west coast and I was lucky enough to watch every playoff game, which he played excellent in all of them. Ponsen’s run with the Knights was capped off with a Four Star Championship, two goals, eight points three coming off the powerplay, seven hits, and a +4 plus/minus rating. He’s a great kid and watching him play was a delight. I recommend going out to Prospera Place in Kelowna, British Columbia if you’re an Edmonton Blizzard fan and want to see one of our top prospects because it’s rare that we ever see one of those here in Edmonton recently. He’s ecstatic about possibly playing in the SHL as a top four defenseman next season, so the enthusiasm’s there, the skill’s there, the talent’s there though it’s a bit raw, and soon enough once Buchesner retires the opportunity will be there too. On draft day many assumed that the general manager, Cole Reinhart was going crazy selecting Hans Ponsen, who was a project pick despite their scouts calling him an ‘Edmonton’ type pick there was still the risk of selecting an off-the-board pick, however Ponsen hasn’t disappointed with his development as he nears some other prospects in the race for practice hours. He’s an offensive defenseman that can quarterback the powerplay, he’s great in his own end, and he’s got a big body and knows how to use it. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him gaining success on the backend next season with the great defensive program the Blizzard have built. He’ll be a great replacement for Buchesner because he’ll be able to put up points on the board, he’ll excel on the powerplay – one of Edmonton’s weaker points this season, he’ll excel in his own zone, and he’ll excel even strength. It’s not to say that Buchesner isn’t achieving what Edmonton’s hopes were for him, but as he ages his time as a professional player’s coming to a halt, so with that comes some glitches that can be fixed with some new fresh legs.

Jeff O’Neil: Definitely, he’s a great skater, great puck handler, great passer, and a great defender. I’m hyped to see this kid in the SHL soon whether it be next season or the season after, but first he’ll need to develop in the SMJHL to where he’s prepared for the faster skating, more physical, and tougher SHL because the game is taught to you in the SMJHL, but in the SHL everyone’s learned and they’re trying to win. However, I believe Ponsen will be prepared when the time approaches as there’s no rush in the Edmonton organization as the general manager and coaches are understanding. Also, their defense is deep as of now and they’re not going to need to rush anyone into a tough situation at the moment. I’ll give Ponsen another season in the SMJHL, a season developing as a fifth defenseman in the SHL, then finally he’ll find his role as the fourth defenseman but after that it’s only going good things to come for the defenseman, and when given the opportunity he better grasp it as not many get to become the fourth defenseman in their sophomore or rookie season. Time will tell if the hype is real with this kid.

Jamie McLennan: Oh it’s real. Now, let's move on.

Jeff O’Neil: Yeah, so Edmonton’s got three picks next season: one in the first, one in the second, and one in the fifth. Of course, this being a deeper draft we may actually reach the fifth round, so does that make Edmonton’s approach to the draft different from previous seasons. We’ve seen Edmonton come home with no prospects because they traded all their picks for a chance at the Challenge Cup, but is that something they should do now or should they prepare for the future?

Jamie McLennan: This isn’t no mega draft, so if they’re getting an offer for a player that helps them win now. Then, they better take that because we’ve got a draft that’s deeper than season 23’s, but it’s not the deepest we’ve seen and actually compared to other drafts its right in the middle of the pack. However, since we haven’t witnessed a draft that’s active as the one we’re acting as if this draft is great though if I were to say it’s a bit above average. Although, if I’m Cole Reinhart then I’ll keep one early pick whilst trading away the other if an opportunity arises for a player that rounds out their top nine. There isn’t much of a need for the team right now other than depth players, so possibly keeping the pick and developing their prospect would be better than trading it away for a needless player. Edmonton’s in a good state right now, so there’s no rush and the general managers know what they’re doing. There’s not a reason to worry for the fans of this organization as the team keeps producing and let’s just hope the season turns out to be a good one.

Jeff O'Neil: Alright, so if you made it this far we thank you for staying with us. We'll be back here next week. I'm Jeff O'Neil and that was Blizzard Brunch.
