## Resource

On today’s episode of The Sheet with Jeff Marek, Jeff is joined by Brian Burke to break down a wild week across the NHL following July 1st Free Agency. Jeff and Burkie recap the biggest signings, trades, and roster moves from around the league, including Jamie Benn returning to the Dallas Stars on a new contract, the latest surrounding Jason Robertson’s future in Dallas, and what could still be coming as the NHL offseason continues. Then, Dave Pagnotta of Daily Faceoff and The Fourth Period joins the show to dive deeper into the NHL rumour mill, recapping everything that happened during a busy week of movement and looking ahead at what moves could be next. Dave shares the latest on potential trades around the league, whether Morgan Rielly could still be on the move, the ongoing Jason Robertson situation, Claude Giroux’s future, and what the Edmonton Oilers have done and could still do to improve their roster. Plus, Jeff and Zack discuss James Dolan handing off day-to-day responsibilities to his son, what it means for the future of the New York Rangers, and more NHL offseason headlines. #TheSheet #NHL #Hockey #NHLOffseason #NHLFreeAgency #Flyers #DallasStars #NYR SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼 Canadian Blood Services: https://www.blood.ca/ Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us! #NHL #TheSheet #JeffMarek #DavidPagnotta #TorontoMapleLeafs #LeafsForever #JosephWoll #SamuelErsson #EmilAndrae #PhiladelphiaFlyers #VegasGoldenKnights #JohnTortorella #CHL #DanMacKenzie #MemorialCup #Hockey Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!
