## Resource

David Pagnotta joins the show to break down the biggest storylines shaping the NHL offseason, including the latest on Dylan Larkin's trade request, why the draft could become a frenzy of blockbuster moves, and which teams are aggressively exploring major roster changes. Pagnotta discusses speculation surrounding Connor Hellebuyck, the futures of several star players across the league, and why this summer could be one of the most active in recent memory. The conversation also dives into the Edmonton Oilers' pursuit of Mike Babcock, the ongoing NHL and NHLPA investigation, what the organization knew before moving forward, and whether John Tortorella could ultimately emerge as an option behind the Oilers bench. Plus, a deep look at the Stanley Cup Final as Vegas and Carolina prepare for a pivotal Game 5, including goaltending questions, defensive breakdowns, key adjustments, and predictions for how the remainder of the series will unfold.
