## Resource

Utah Mammoth clear cap space and hint at a blockbuster move as the NHL offseason heats up. GM Bill Armstrong’s trade of J.J. Peterka signals a changing roster landscape, while the acquisition of Sebastian Cossa sets the stage for a refreshed goalie tandem. With top prospects like Tij Iginla vying for a spot and swirling rumors around names like Dylan Larkin and Jason Robertson, Utah’s strategy is focused on roster turnover and future potential. Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño break down the ripple effects of these major trades, debate the fit of recent acquisitions, and question whether a franchise-altering deal is imminent. Key topics include Peterka’s struggles with system fit, the team’s cap flexibility, and the likelihood of Utah Mammoth going “big game hunting” in free agency or via offer sheet. Can Utah reshape their top six and accelerate their rise in the NHL?
