## Resource

Utah Mammoth face a pivotal offseason decision as questions swirl around Alex Kerfoot’s future. Can the versatile forward remain a difference-maker, or will injuries and a crowded roster force the Mammoth to move on? Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño dissect Kerfoot’s role, contract options, and value amidst Utah’s veteran-heavy forward corps. Is a pay cut with added term Kerfoot’s ticket to staying—and what happens if top prospects claim vital lineup spots? Major Mammoth prospect news dominates the second half, with Gabe Smith’s explosive QMJHL playoff run earning him the GUY LAFleur MVP honor. The hosts highlight Smith’s rising star status, preview Tij Iginla and Tomas Lavoie at the Memorial Cup, and break down the impact of Michael Carcone’s community involvement with the all-new Carcone Cup. Utah Mammoth’s prospect pipeline looks bright—are these young players ready to make an immediate impact?
