Mayor's Manor

Follow @mayorNHL With summer officially over and training camp set to begin in Los Angeles, Mayor’s Minutes returned to NHL Network Radio this week. John Hoven joined Jake Hahn and Mick Kern to share a new crop of opinions on everything from Quinton Byfield’s potential breakout season ahead, what coach Peter Laviolette likely brings to the table, how Brandt Clarke’s skills may be the perfect elixir for generating goals from the backend, and so much more. How much of Artemi Panarin’s past success can he replicate in 2026-27, and where do the Kings stack up in this year’s Pacific Division? Those are just a few of the topics discussed.
