Jeff Marek kicks off a packed episode with Milan Lucic, who opens up about his road back to professional hockey, the physical grind of returning from a major adductor tear, and the mental challenges he’s worked through over the past two years. Lucic dives deep into recovery, vulnerability, family support, and what he hopes the next step in his career looks like as he continues his PTO with Springfield. Marek then shifts to the massive Brantford Bulldogs news, bringing on Spencer Hyman to break down the blockbuster Luchanko trade, why this move was years in the making, how Brantford is building a “traveling all-star team,” and what top prospects like Caleb Malhotra are projecting toward for the NHL Draft. The show also covers Mikko Rantanen’s automatic suspension and the fallout across the league, the razor-thin margins in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and why so much of the league’s elite talent is concentrated in the West. With standout conversations, CHL/U-20 insights, and big-picture NHL storylines, it’s a loaded Monday edition of The Sheet.
