## Resource

Jeff Marek and Zack Phillips kick off today's episode of The Sheet by diving into the biggest NHL stories making headlines, including the stunning news that Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has reportedly requested a trade and what it could mean for the future of one of the league's most iconic franchises. They also break down the trade deadline deal that nearly saw Matthew Knies sent from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Montreal Canadiens before ultimately falling apart, examining how different both organizations could look today had the blockbuster move gone through. Later, Daily Faceoff prospect analyst Steven Ellis joins the show to discuss his latest NHL Draft rankings and mock draft, identify risers and fallers ahead of the NHL Draft Combine, and spotlight the prospects generating the most buzz heading into one of the most important evaluation weeks of the hockey calendar. Then, longtime NHL head coach Gerard Gallant stops by to share stories from his coaching career, offer his perspective on the Bruce Cassidy situation, discuss the challenges coaches face when changes are made late in the season, reflect on his experience coaching in Shanghai, and explain why he's eager for another opportunity behind an NHL bench. All that and much more on today's edition of The Sheet with Jeff Marek. #TheSheet #JeffMarek #NHL #Hockey #DylanLarkin #DetroitRedWings #LeafsForever #GoHabsGo #MatthewKnies #NHLDraft #DraftCombine #StevenEllis #GerardGallant #DailyFaceoff #NHLRumours SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/ 👍🏼 Canadian Blood Services: https://www.blood.ca/ 👍🏼 Ninja: https://www.sharkninja.ca/ninja-crispi-pro-6-in-1-countertop-glass-air-fryer-rose-quartz/AS101CRS.html?utm_source=Meta&utm_medium=Paid+Social&utm_campaign=H1NinjaCrispi…
