We lied. New @MaxTermPod.bsky.social dropped this morning. @kylestich.bsky.social talks how the Necas deal could impact Kempe and Tuch, how the Cooley deal impacts other RFA Cs like Bedard, Fantilli & Carlsson, as well as panic meter for all involved. Available wherever you get your podcasts! #NHL

Logan Cooley & the Utah Mammoth have agreed to an extension. A little above projected AAV, but makes sense with an extra UFA year bought. He’s the first of the star ELC RFA centers to sign, setting the market! #NHL #TusksUp

Harley and the Dallas Stars agree to a deal just about at projection. A fair #MaxTerm deal, yet most long term deals for stars his age are going to age very well for the team in this cap climate. #NHL #TexasHockey

Igor Shesterkin is considered one of the better goalies in the #NHL. But did the New York Rangers make the necessary moves in front of him to return to the playoffs this season? #NYR @maxtermpod.bsky.social

With Sasha Barkov (3X Selke Trophy winner) out for the most of the season, @jamesfinch.bsky.social & @kylestich.bsky.social chose Sam Reinhart as their Selke favorite. Other candidates? Listen to the most recent @MaxTermPod for more predictions and details! #NHL #TimeToHunt linktr.ee/afpanalytics

WOW! Minnesota Wild fans, @jamesfinch.bsky.social is making a bold prediction that a Stanley Cup run is in your future (along with a big trade addition mid season👀)! Listen to the most recent @maxtermpod.bsky.social for more predictions and details! #NHL #MNWild linktr.ee/afpanalytics

Connor McDavid comes in at a shorter term and lower AAV than projected. He will cash in again soon, leading to lower AAV. But below Draisaitl!? Leaves Oilers space for other moves! #NHL #LetsGoOilers

Jake Walman gets 7x7 from the Oilers, an increase in term and AAV over projected. Top4 d-man locked in long term. Solid deal for both siders, increased AAV makes since with the increased term. #NHL #LetsGoOilers

Filip Gustavsson & the Minnesota Wild have agreed to an extension. Term & AAV a touch below projected, but this is a fair deal. Only thing we’d say is after the Demko extension, possible this projection would’ve went up mid year… #NHL #MNWild

Luke Evangelista finally gets his contract done with #Smashville. Absolutely no reason for negotiations to have dragged out for this long with it coming in just a touch above projection. #NHL

Jackson LaCombe gets PAID by the Anaheim Ducks. #MaxTerm with more UFA years bought gets him to $9M AAV. He’s their #1 and if he can repeat last season or even improve, this could age well for the Ducks! #NHL #FlyTogether

Niko Mikkola and the Florida Panthers have agreed to a #MaxTerm extension! The deal is 3 years over projected but for a lower AAV! Team friendly contract for the shutdown top4 d-man! #NHL #TimeToHunt

Catching up a little over here where skies are blue. We find the Iafallo deal to also be pretty fair for both the player and the Winnipeg Jets. Good work Cheveldayoff!

Pionk lands right about where we expected. From a market value standpoint, very fair deal for him and the Winnipeg Jets. #NHL

Something @jamesfinch.bsky.social questioned a couple months ago on the Max Term Podcast... Brodin going from a full NMC to nothing is interesting. Could he be a big piece used to acquire a top F? Spurgeon, Faber, Middleton, Buium, Bogosian, Jiricek. Lambos/O'Rourke in pipeline... #MNWild #NHL

🚨New Max Term Pod is live! In this week’s episode, @jamesfinch.bsky.social put together his trade board. Players, trade cost, and fits were all discussed. Available wherever you get your #podcasts! #MaxTerm #NHL

There might only be one top6 center rental available via trade: #Isles Brock Nelson. Then an ideal 2-way 3C in #SeaKraken Yanni Gourde. From there, a slight drop but quality Cs like #NHLBruins Trent Frederic or #GoHabsGo Jake Evans. Do they move in trade or sign extensions? #NHL

🚨New Max Term Podcast episode is live! We revisit our start of the season predictions (standings, playoffs, awards), discuss what went right and wrong, and then provide revised predictions. Available on all platforms! #NHL

Solid deal for Marcus Pettersson and the Canucks. The top 4 Dman gets an extra year over projection, but that may have allowed Vancouver to keep the AAV down. In our eyes, this is fair for both sides. #Canucks #NHL

Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes! WOW! Do they extend him before July 1st?!? #RaiseUp #NHL #GoAvsGo

Our projections for the upcoming #NHL free agent class are live!

If a shakeup was ever going to come for the Sabres, that was the game that signals it’s time. How? Players available that can make a true impact that won’t block with a NTC/NMC? It’s easier said than done, but at some point… “Doing nothing is crazy!” #Sabrehood

Up 4-0 and lose 5-4 in regulation. Absolutely embarrassing game for the Sabres.

Certainly not by Georgiev - Wedgewood TBD

No matter what, Sabres HAVE to avoid getting goalied tonight. Would be absolutely embarrassing if it were to happen at the hands of Georgiev.

At the end of the day, the trade probably favors #Smashville. Both backups are struggling but Annunen is young with some unrealized potential (glimpses of it here and there). #GoAvsGo #NHL

#Smashville is banking on the potential of Annunen, #GoAvsGo  are looking for a veteran backup in Wedgewood to calm the crease and maybe provide a slight spark/jolt. Neither has been good this season, so time will tell if this “fixes” the problems for the Predators and/or Avalanche. #NHL

On the Kreider Sabres idea floating around… I say this not knowing his NTC (15 teams) but assuming it has BUF, feel like other teams like BOS, STL who are looking for a scoring forward would interest him more to the point that I assume he’d block Buffalo. #NYR  #Sabrehood  #NHL

Brett Howden signed a 5 year, $2.5M AAV contract to stay with Vegas. We did not expect to see this type of term for Howden. AAV considering the length is fine but definitely an unexpected contract.

That was a clinic of a powerplay by the Jets that led to their 4th goal against the Panthers. Goal came just after the penalty expired, but solid opportunities, movement & over a minute of consistent off. zone possession time. Scheifele hat trick. #GoJetsGo are a problem! #NHL

Vegas Golden Knights and Brayden McNabb, an original member of the team agree to a 3 year, $3.65M AAV contract. Very fair deal by both sides in this negotiation.

New @maxtermpod.bsky.social is live! @jamesfinch.bsky.social & @kylestich.bsky.social preview top names in the 2025 UFA class & discuss what the trade deadline rental market could look like. If you're team is looking for a forward, you make be in luck. Elsewhere? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

I’m very much pro “put McLeod and his quickness on the powerplay”

Wherever THAT Dylan Cozens came from, don’t let the other one come back.

If the Sabres play like that the whole game, they will win. Can’t take their foot off the gas.
