About this episode
What will the NHL look like in 2030?
Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton look five years into the future and debate some of the biggest predictions from Daily Faceoff's NHL 2030 projections, including which teams could be Stanley Cup contenders, which organizations could be in trouble, and which fan bases should be most concerned about their future.
The guys break down the projected top eight teams in 2030 and debate which teams are the biggest boom-or-bust candidates, whether Edmonton's future depends on Connor McDavid, and which NHL organizations are furthest away from competing for the Stanley Cup.
They also dive into Daily Faceoff's projected top NHL players in 2030. Could Macklin Celebrini, Porter Martone, Leo Carlsson, Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar and other young stars eventually take over the league? Tyler and Carter debate Ivan Schaefer's ceiling, which players aren't getting enough attention, who could be the NHL's best goaltender in 2030, and why Auston Matthews' projected ranking could be one of the biggest surprises.
Plus, Steven Ellis joins the show to discuss Daily Faceoff's 2026-27 NHL Prospect Pool Rankings, including which organizations have improved their prospect systems the most, whether Chicago has too many young players coming, Calgary's need for high-end talent, Nashville's future and which teams should be most concerned about their prospect pipeline.
The show wraps with #AskDFO, including the new E-Bug jersey number rule and Kevin Hayes signing in the KHL.
