Annie & André are back and with.....not a lot of information. But there's an expansion draft in a few days, with free agency expected to kick into high gear afterward, plus the college draft, so we figured we might as well talk about, well, not knowing anything! We chat about the coaching search, and how curious it is that no one has been announced yet. André also updates some candidates who may or may not be being considered.
