Episode Notes

We're getting close to real hockey, people. Less than a month before the season starts, Jason Demers, Nate Thompson and Adnan Virk dive into some bold predictions for the 2026-27 campaign while also breaking down Cale Makar's monster payday, what Quinn Hughes does and where Connor Hellebuyck could land. The guys also discuss Victor Hedman's big return, Will Smith's impressive BP session and JD's scariest moment in the KHL.
