Today, Bob and John are joined by none other than RON FRANCIS, General Manager of the NHL's newest team - the Seattle Kraken.
The three have a long chat about the conception of the franchise - from when they brought Ron in until now - How much was he involved in the branding of the team?
We talk about Ron's admiration of Seattle as a city, how the team has managed to re-locate their players and staff members to Washington & gives his opinion on whether or not Seattle is a "hockey city".
Ron also gives us some insight on what the organizations plans were when it came to the expansion draft, how much they learned from the Vegas Golden Knights, what we should expect from his club this year and much more in episode 226 of The Bob McCown Podcast.
