About this episode
The guys wrap up their 2025/26 season preview as we jump into the Metro Division.
First we start with some of the biggest headlines from around the league including Sidney Crosby, Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks and a Jack Eichel extension in Vegas.
Then we move to the Kirill Kaprizov contract rumours. It was reported that he turned down 8 years at a $16 million AAV. Is there truth to this rumor and is it a term or a dollar issue?
We then jump into our preview of the Metro Division starting at the bottom with the Philadelphia Flyers and working our way up to the Washington Capitals.
Some major news within the division includes the Dan Vladar trade to Philadelphia, the Crosby trade rumors, Matthew Schaefer joining the New York Islanders, the Luke Hughes contract, potential landing spots for Carter Hart and more!
Producer, Patrick Puff, then joins for a quick rendition of ‘Fill in the Blank’ to discuss which teams will be the most improved this season, who else would have been a great captain for the New York Rangers and where Sidney Crosby could land if he were to move. This also sparked a brief conversation about Connor McDavid’s next contract.
Which teams will be the most improved and which teams will be headed for the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes next summer?
