Summary
Elias Pettersson’s $11.6M contract looms large as the Vancouver Canucks eye a rebuild—will contending teams circle back for the star center, or is this deal impossible to move? Seth Toupal and JD Young break down Vancouver’s strategy, potential destinations like the Pittsburgh Penguins, and why a fresh start could reignite Pettersson’s career. With J.T.

Can the Chicago Blackhawks overcome Connor Bedard’s shoulder injury and finally take a leap in the brutal Central Division? The hosts debate Chicago’s outlook after key signings like Bowen Byram and Tyler Bertuzzi, as well as the pressure on young talent to deliver. Plus: Are the Calgary Flames heading for an even tougher year with goal-scoring woes and one of the NHL’s most immovable contracts in Jonathan Huberdeau?
