The 2026-27 Projections Series continues with the Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators.

In this episode:

• What Peter Laviolette’s arrival could mean for Artemi Panarin, Brandt Clarke, Quinton Byfield, Adrian Kempe and the new-look Kings offense

• How Minnesota’s changing roster impacts Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, Brock Faber, Ryan Hartman and Bobby Brink

• Just how high Ivan Demidov can climb alongside Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky and Lane Hutson

• Whether Roman Josi, Mavrik Bourque and Luke Evangelista can provide major fantasy value in Nashville

• The biggest differences between Nate and Blake’s projections
