It’s a busy week around the NHL, and we break it all down with David Pagnotta, Editor-in-Chief of The Fourth Period. We kick things off in Toronto, where the Toronto Maple Leafs made headlines by moving on from G.M. Brad Treliving just moments after our last conversation. Who could be next in line to take over, and why are names like Sunny Mehta gaining traction?

From there, we take a tour around the league’s front office shakeups—what’s going on with Tom Fitzgerald in New Jersey, whether Sheldon Keefe could be next to fall and what Ron Francis stepping down in Seattle means for the Kraken.

We also dive into the ongoing G.M. search in Nashville and what Peter DeBoer will bring to the New York Islanders.

Plus, Pagnotta shares what’s grabbing his attention most in a tight playoff race, and we close with a look at the Edmonton Oilers—who are quietly rounding into form with a more structured, defensive game. A full lap around the NHL’s biggest stories, rumors and trends with one of the game’s top insiders.
