Hi, this is Fred Wallace with ” Off the Wire “,….. proudly sponsored by Pete’s Auto Body.

A sure sign of mid summer is the annual Chantry Chinook Classic begins at 1 minute after midnight technically tomorrow morning
Good luck to all of the anglers participating in the event.
A sure sign of the hockey off season commences tonight with the annual National Hockey League Entry Draft
The Buffalo Sabres who haven’t won much in recent years, will get the #1 pick tonight after winning the Draft Lottery.
The expansion Seattle Kraken are scheduled to have the # 2 selection
Toronto Maple Leaf fans will tell you the Leafs HAD pick # 24 in the first round but the Columbus Blue Jackets now have that pick which was acquired in the Nick Foligno trade.
So, as it stands now, the Leafs first selection will be at # 56
Meanwhile, as always we’ll be watching for Owen Sound Attack players in the annual NHL Entry Draft.
When last seen, Deni Goure was getting first line ice time with the Attack, playing with Aidan Dudas and Adam McMaster which is pretty heady for an underage.
But the issue for Goure, along with Ethan Burroughs and Kaleb Lawrence, is that they haven’t been seen since March of 2020 and as a result represent a large unknown for NHL teams and scouts who always want to be in the know and know more.
For Pete’s Auto Body, I’m Fred Wallace.
