Kevin Stenlund unfollowed the Utah Mammoth on Instagram, and yeah… that feels like something. On this episode of SLC Puck, Austin digs into the NHL Follow Tracker post that caught Stenland unfollowing Utah, why that matters for a 29-year-old unrestricted free agent, and what it might be signaling about the Mammoth’s plans down the middle.

Austin breaks down Stenland’s role in Utah: 80 games played, 4 goals, 14 assists, 18 points, a minus-9, and heavy usage on the penalty kill and in overtime faceoffs. He also compares it to Stenland’s stronger 2024-25 season with 14 goals and 28 points, and asks the big question: do the Mammoth believe those utility-center minutes are replaceable now? If Stenland is really on the way out, that could open the door for Jack McBain, or for prospects like Tij Iginla, Cole Beaudoin, Caleb Desnoyers, and Gabe Smith to make real noise in training camp. Austin also touches on the lingering Robert Thomas idea and what this says about Bill Armstrong’s offseason priorities.

There’s also a quick Stanley Cup Final check-in, with Vegas vs. Carolina delivering a wild 5-4 double-overtime Game 3 after the Golden Knights blew a 4-0 lead, plus some thoughts on how that emotional swing compares to what Utah went through in its playoff series with Vegas. But the heart of this episode is simple: Kevin Stenlund hit unfollow, and for Utah Mammoth fans, that sure looks like a warning shot.
