No league will say it, but the people in the front office obviously want the best matchup that will bring in the most viewership for a championship final. What would that matchup be with the teams that are remaining in the playoffs?

We also take a look at the FanDuel odds for the teams remaining to win the Stanley Cup. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are at the top of the list while the Florida Panthers and Seattle Kraken are at the bottom. But can a case be made for Florida and Seattle just as much as it can for Toronto and Edmonton? We discuss.

Toronto Maple Leafs fire the first warning shot—assistant coach Mark Savard is out, and now the spotlight intensifies on Craig Berube. Can Auston Matthews rediscover his MVP form and rescue Toronto from a spiraling season? Seth Toupal and JD Young break down Toronto's alarming skid, locker room friction, and whether upper management is ready to ride out Berube’s rocky start or pull the plug on his four-year deal.

The conversation shifts to widespread NHL adversity: key injuries to Connor Bedard, Frankie Nazar, and more threaten to upend playoff races, while recent trades—like Mason Marchment to the Columbus Blue Jackets and Phillip Danault’s return to the Montreal Canadiens—send shockwaves across the league. With the NHL’s holiday roster freeze and early trade buzz, which teams are primed for a turnaround and who might embrace the tank? Don’t miss this sharp, fast-paced analysis of the NHL’s biggest storylines and emerging questions.
