Kyle Connor Extends, NHLPA Fallout, and Leafs Opener ft. Brian Burke & Nick Alberga

The NHL season is underway and The Sheet has you covered. Jeff Marek is joined by Brian Burke to break down Connor McDavid’s surprising $12.5M AAV deal, the ripple effect on Kyle Connor’s massive eight-year, $96M extension, and the broader implications for NHL contracts in a rapidly rising salary-cap era. Burke also weighs in on the chaos between the Lightning and Panthers, the balance between toughness and skill in today’s NHL, and how teams are recalibrating around physicality. Later, Nick Alberga joins the show to preview the Toronto Maple Leafs’ home opener against the Montreal Canadiens, including Easton Cowan’s healthy scratch, the addition of Sammy Blais, and what life looks like without Mitch Marner. Jeff and producer Zack also touch on the Rangers’ and Kings’ new third jerseys, expectations for the Canadiens, and Patrick Laine’s uncertain role moving forward. From blockbuster contracts to opening-night rivalries, The Sheet dives deep into the biggest storylines shaping the NHL right now.
