## Resource

Canadian NHL stars are leaving in record numbers—but does this "exodus" give the Utah Mammoth a unique edge as a premier landing spot? Tom Callahan breaks down MacKenzie Weeger's comments on the intense pressure in Canadian markets, the impact of a stronger US dollar, and why Utah’s lifestyle and fan experience are drawing players south of the border. Explore how the Mammoth’s appeal, market advantages, and culture could attract top names like Connor Hellebuyck in a crowded American hockey landscape. Key topics include the changing dynamics of NHL contracts, the influence of taxes and media glare on player decisions, and what Utah must do to win big in NHL free agency. Tom Callahan also teases team changes, fresh content, and ways fans can engage ahead of a landmark season. Will the Mammoth become the NHL’s next destination franchise?
