Alexis Lafreniere’s Next Deal & The Sabres Struggles

Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of the pod. Pretty much every team in the league has played a game now as the season is a few days old and there are plenty of storyline developing.

They started off by talking about the effects of Hurricane Milton on the Tampa Bay Lightning and why the organization decided to postpone a game rather than have emergency resources be used trying to make it happen. Frank had some info on what’s been happening behind the scenes.

From there, they got into Alexis Lafreniere’s hot start to the season and potential extension talks between the former first overall pick and the New York Rangers. He’s taken a big step forward over the last couple of seasons and now, the Rangers might have to pay up.

They also hit on the Maple Leaf's first game against their former Head Coach Sheldon Keefe, the Buffalo Sabres 0-3 start to the season, and the new look LA Kings. They also hit on what a bounce back season could look like for both Pierre-Luc Dubois and Jonathan Huberdeau.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about 100 point teams, Shane Wright’s future in Seattle, and the group of veteran defenseman who are still unsigned.

They wrapped up by talking about the drama that’s been happening on the waiver wire with Raphael Lavoie and gave their thoughts on where he ultimately ends up.
