## Resource

Utah Mammoth face a center logjam: too much depth or the perfect insurance policy? With Barrett Hayton, Nick Schmaltz, Logan Cooley, and Kevin Stenlund spotlighted as the opening night core, marquee additions like Vincent Trocheck and Anders Lee are poised to shift expectations. What does Trocheck's potential move to wing signal for the lineup—and could a breakout prospect like Tij Iginla force a major shakeup come training camp? Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño break down GM Bill Armstrong's blueprint, speculate on how the “short leash line” of Clayton Keller, Schmaltz, and Lawson Crouse fits into the new scheme, and debate which bottom-six combinations make the Mammoth a playoff contender. With injury insurance a clear focus and prospects poised to challenge veterans, how will Utah Mammoth's depth shape their shot at Western Conference dominance?
