James and Kyle are back to preview AFP Analytic's 2026 contract projections starting with the pending UFAs. Is there a strength to this class? Which players could provide value at their projected contract? Which contracts might we hesitate to give out? 

James and Kyle are back with a Stanley Cup playoff preview! Somehow, they completely agree on what will happen in the Eastern Conference but have some big differences of opinion out West. Who do they like prevailing in each matchup? What series are good and bad matchups for the favorites? Can anyone or anything stop the Colorado Avalanche? Which team could be a fun bet to make to be the eventual champs? 

In the latest episode, James and Kyle discuss players who were rumored to be discussed in trades leading up to the trade deadline, were not moved, but might be re-visited this summer. Is Robert Thomas destined to be moved? Should have the Blues moved Binnington? How does New Jersey solve their logjam on the backend? Could the Predators or Maple Leafs blow it up this summer?

In the latest episode, James and Kyle recap the trade deadline and give their thoughts on the moves. Which trades did they like? Were there any they were questioning, whether the return, fit, or logic of the move. They also give their thoughts on no trade clauses and the Colton Parayko situation.

In the latest episode, James and Kyle finish a two part series looking at trade deadline options. This episode looks at some players with term (at least signed beyond this season). Could the Blues shake things up? Can Montreal or Carolina land a BIG fish? Will Calgary and/or Vancouver fully commit to a rebuild/retool? What direction could Toronto go?

In the latest episode, James and Kyle begin a two part series looking at trade deadline options. This first episode looks at the rental options. Which teams are sellers? What teams could fill needs and buy? Are there positions or skillsets more prevalent than others? 

In the latest episode, James and Kyle discuss what is potentially an impending contract/salary cap bubble in the NHL and how future salaries might be impacted. Tune in to learn how the rising cap and prevalent long-term contracts are potentially creating an environment where teams might run out of players to pay.
