Max Term Podcast

In this special Black Friday episode, James and Kyle run through the NHL and discuss which teams' starts they are buying and selling based on their underlying numbers. Who should make the playoffs? Who might fall out of a playoff spot?

James and Kyle discuss recent events around the NHL as American Thanksgiving approaches. They discuss Patrick Kane with Kyle throwing some water on the Buffalo fire. They hit on the Edmonton Oilers and discuss whether they made the right coaching decision and the future of the team. Some other topics discussed include the Vancouver Canucks' hot start, Alexis Lafrenière's improvement, and the Leafs' decision to choose John Klingberg over Erik Gustafsson. 

James and Kyle continue their new series of episodes that will take extensive dives into individual teams and discuss their long-term outlook. There are some questions all around the organization, except maybe in goal? Minnesota traded Calen Addison between recording and release, making the future of the organization on defense even murkier. Right now, there is very little in the pipeline for the blue line and the forward group is heavily dependent on Marco Rossi and two Russian prospects who have not come to North America yet. 

James and Kyle continue their new series of episodes that will take extensive dives into individual teams and discuss their long-term outlook. Next up is a team that is looking to take a step forward and continue on a hot start, the Detroit Red Wings. They discuss the hot start and the sustainability of it but the main discussion is on the future build of the team. The defense is the long-term position of strength but the current contract structure is questionable. Goalie also seems to be in a good spot. The biggest questions are at forward. What is the outlook? How does Detroit proceed?
