The highly anticipated return of the Backhand Shelf Podcast (okay maybe not) arrived today, with Thomas Drance joining me in studio to kick around the hockey topics of summer. We spent time on:

* What's P.K. Subban going to get in arbitration? The most in NHL history, right?

* Ryan O'Reilly, Evander Kane and Ryan Johansen aren't happy with their teams. Can things be worked out, or are they destined for new sweaters?

* How is Dany Heatley going to pan out in Anaheim? Will he play with the top dawgs?

* Will Mike Babcock be next summer's most coveted free agent?

And finally...

* Which playoff teams from last year will miss next year? Which that missed playoffs will get in?
