## Resource

Colorado Avalanche dominate Locked on NHL Top 100 with five players making the list—Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar secure two of the top three spots. Can MacKinnon and Makar maintain their elite status as Connor McDavid remains the league’s benchmark, and could Celebrini shake up the top tier soon? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down surprises, debate Martin Necas's ranking at 41, and celebrate Devon Toews and Brock Nelson rounding out the Avalanche representation. Beyond player rankings, the hosts tackle expansion buzz from the NHL Board of Governors meeting and question if more U.S. teams are on the horizon. Plus, they dissect the New York Rangers’ innovative ticket subscription plan, the Islanders’ bizarre grilled cheese-Nerds combo, and offer hot takes on Gary Bettman’s future. Will creative ticketing and quirky concessions redefine the NHL fan experience?
