Scouching Live is back with special guest Tony Ferrari from The Hockey News to break down the biggest stories as the NHL season begins!

We start with a deep dive into Connor McDavid's shocking two-year extension and what it means for the Oilers and the rest of the league. Then, we look at the surprising rookies who cracked opening night rosters, including Sam Rinzel, Braden Cootes, and Gavin Brindley.

The main event is our first big look at the 2026 NHL Draft class. We establish a "Big 3" tier at the top and debate the unique styles of Gavin McKenna, Tynan Lawrence, and Mathis Preston. Plus, Tony makes a bold declaration: Finland is BACK.

Don't miss the next Scouching Live! Monday evenings at 8pm EST, and Thursday afternoons at 2pm EST. See you there!
