In this episode, we break down the Buffalo Sabres signing Josh Doan to a massive long‑term extension and what it means for the team’s future. We also dive into two major NHL trades from the week — the Calgary Flames moving Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights and the Vancouver Canucks sending Kiefer Sherwood to the San Jose Sharks. From there, we react to Jackson LaCombe replacing Seth Jones on Team USA’s Olympic roster and what that change signals for the tournament. We wrap up with our full NHL Contenders and Pretenders list for this season.
