In the first episode of the new season of @TheRink, Dan and Shawn are joined by TNT lead analyst Eddie Olczyk (9:17) to preview the 2025-26 season. The guys open the show with reaction to the Minnesota Wild signing Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year $136-million extension and how the deal resets the market, including future deals for high-profile free agents such as Connor McDavid. After the interview, Dan and Shawn make preseason predictions including their picks to win each division and the Stanley Cup, plus Dan’s big bold prediction for the season.
