Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau after their tragic passing. (0:00)

We start this episode by discussing Seth Jarvis' new contract with the Carolina Hurricanes and the strange "new" deferral that brings the AAV down (4:15) before discussing how this might compare to Lucas Raymond's next contract & how Steve Yzerman might use it to set a price for both him and Moritz Seider (and whether he can keep them under Dylan Larkin's AAV) (3:15).

After that, thoughts on Hockeytown's reported interest (alongside the Leafs) in former star Max Pacioretty before news & updates on Marco Kasper and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard in their Olympic qualification efforts, as well as Red Savage, Austin Watson, & more (23:00).

Next, thoughts on Detroit being ranked 14th by the Athletic in their U23/Pipeline rankings, & whether Detroit truly lacks stars or superstars (30:15).

Finally, NHL news including Jeremy Swayman's contract demands, Nick Cousins joining the Ottawa Senators, the AHL's neck protection rule, & more (44:15) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (53:35) - enjoy!
