Jeff Marek kicks off today’s episode of The Sheet with a hilarious cold open on Joe Veleno before diving into two of the NHL’s biggest quarter-season storylines: the youth takeover across the league and the spike in injuries impacting contenders everywhere. He breaks down early-season stars like Connor Bedard, Leo Carlsson, and Matthew Savoie while examining why veteran teams like the Winnipeg Jets are feeling the grind. Jeff is then joined by Ken Reid, who discusses his new book “The Next One,” shares incredible scouting stories, reflects on the legacy of Boria Salming and Jerry McNamara, and explains why finding elite talent is equal parts grit, instinct, and survival on the road. Later, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period joins the show to hit all the major NHL rumblings — from Alex Tuch’s contract situation in Buffalo, to Adam Fantilli’s extension talks in Columbus, to Jordan Kyrou speculation, Blues trade chatter, and what comes next for teams like Edmonton, Ottawa, and Anaheim. Loaded with insider notes, team analysis, and big-picture NHL insight, this episode covers everything happening around the league today.
