Mike & Dan get the latest information about the Belmont arena project from Mark Berner of Horserace Insider, who tells them when to expect a start date announcement, what people around the racing world are saying about it and what connection the track has to the team’s glory days.
But first, the hosts discuss the recently concluded Stanley Cup final and what the hold-ups are with the Islanders’ remaining UFAs. They also throw in some trade targets, too because why not.
We’ll be back the week after the draft. For a full draft preview, be sure to check out Noel and Dan’s latest episode of Isles Buzz.
