Talking Trades & NHL Draft | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Talking Trades & NHL Draft | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Author: The Nation Network June 23, 2026 Duration: 1:24:23

Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey continues as Jonny Lazarus and former NHL defenceman Colby Cohen bring you another loaded episode with the 2026 NHL Draft just days away in Buffalo. James van Riemsdyk joins the show fresh off a season in Detroit and officially hitting the open market as an unrestricted free agent — and with 17 years in the league across Philly, Toronto, Boston, Columbus, and the Red Wings, JVR has a perspective on player movement, life in Canadian markets, and the growing trend of American players gravitating south of the border that nobody else can quite match.


Then the guys shift to the draft floor as two of the most intriguing prospects in this class stop by.


Tynan Lawrence — the two-way centre from Fredericton who won the Clark Cup and playoff MVP with Muskegon before making his mid-season jump to Boston University — breaks down what this week feels like with his name expected to be called in the top ten on Friday night in Buffalo.


And Keaton Verhoeff, the 6'4 right-shot defenceman from North Dakota who's drawn comparisons to Drew Doughty and sits among the most coveted prospects in the entire draft class, talks about what it was like to hold his own in the NCAA as a 17-year-old, the questions about his skating, and what comes next once his name gets called.

There’s a particular kind of hockey talk that only comes from having lived it, and that’s exactly what you’ll find on Morning Cuppa Hockey. Hosts Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen bring their own distinct perspectives-forged from playing at multiple levels, including a Stanley Cup win-to the day’s biggest stories. Their conversations are less about delivering unanimous takes and more about digging into the nuances behind the headlines, the trends shaping the league, and those controversial plays that everyone is arguing about. This podcast thrives on that genuine back-and-forth; they know the game deeply, but they don’t always see it the same way. Alongside breaking down the news, they regularly pull back the curtain to introduce fascinating figures from around the hockey world, offering listeners a richer understanding of the sport’s characters and culture. It’s the kind of daily analysis that feels like a conversation with well-informed friends, perfect for starting your day. You can catch new episodes live Monday through Thursday, but the recorded podcast is always there for your morning routine, whenever you need that fix of authentic, experienced hockey insight.
