• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Go check Substack.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Number five, at center, Nick Suzuki.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: He's one of the best two-way centers in the game today, and he put up over 100 points last year.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: This kid's killing it.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: He's gonna even keep getting better.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Number four, Leon Dreisidle.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: He can score from anywhere on the ice.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: We've seen him score from that amazing acute angle in the corner there.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how he does it.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, he's a power plate beast.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Number three, Macklin Celebrini.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: The generational talent of this next era.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: It looks like it.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: His vision, his puck skills, off the charts, and he's already got a pretty good two-way game.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Number two, Nathan McKinnon, Mr.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: Compete level.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: That is, while also being one of the best players in the league.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: And number one, of course, Connor McDavid.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: In my opinion, he's Pavel Baret meets all of the skills of Wayne Gretzky, possibly the best player ever.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go left wing.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Number five, Matt Boldy.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: He's a big winger who can control the puck and play while driving the net.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: Number four, the pure goal scorer, Jason Robertson.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Number three, the dirty, the chippy, Matthew Kachuk, while also having fantastic puck skills.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Number two, Kyle Connor.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Great at finding open ice with his speed and fantastic finishing touch.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: And number one, left winger, the franchise, Capril, Capril, Caprizov, Capril, who's Capril.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: He can puck, handle, and score and great speed off the rush.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Top right wingers.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Number five, Mitch Marner, a phenomenal playmaker, and you give him even an inch of space, like he did in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: He's fantastic.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: Number four, William Nielander, the dynamic offensive winger with elite skating, puck control, and finishing ability.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Number three, Miko Rantinen, physically dominating the game with great finish, and he always steps it up in the playoffs.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Number two, David Posternock.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: He makes everyone around him better while still supplying a phenomenal amount of offense.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: And number one, pretty much like David Posternak, Nikita Kutrov, just a step above him, MVP player who makes everyone around him better, and the puck combs to him goes through him on all the plays offensively for Tampa.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Time for some trending now.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Which teams had are in a disaster right now?
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and I'm I'm not gonna put them in any order.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're all three or none in a great position right now, in my opinion.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: The Aim Ducks.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: First off, they got offers sheeted for Leo Carlson by Danny Barriere, the GM of the Flyers.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: So they matched it.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: They're paying him 18 million now.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: He's the highest paid player in the game.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know if he's a top 10 player in the league in his prime.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Next, Mason McTavish left.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: They overspent on depth pieces on their defense.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: They have to sign Bennett Seneca in a year or two, and they still even haven't signed Cutter Gochi.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: Do we even have the space to sign him?
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: My goodness.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: I like they're they were ready to pounce and be one of those next teams.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: They are not, it has stalled, in my opinion.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: They should still keep climbing, but I don't know what's gonna happen with these guys.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's it is what it is.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna get it further into it.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: The Detroit Red Wings.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: Dylan Larkin, the captain, wants to leave.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: He's he wants out.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Stevie Wyatt, the GM, has stepped away.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: They haven't even replaced him yet.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Players should be reporting to the ice, getting ready for practice.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: There's preseason games hopping in like a week where there's no real direction there, and they still only have a year left on DeBrickett's contract.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: They're in shambles.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: They gotta rebuild.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: And another team, in my opinion, that should have started rebuilding last year is the Winnipeg Jets.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: They lost Nick Eelers last year for nothing.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: He went to the Stanley Cup champion, Caroline Hurricanes, and he was phenomenal for them.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: Their MVP goaltender, the Vesna winner, probably one of the best goalies of this generation.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Connor Hellebuck, he wants out.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: They might not get even nearly as much as they want if they trade him.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Chevaldeoff is not doing his job there at all either.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And they are not even trying to improve.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: Looks like to me, they're in shambles.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Who is your biggest disaster of a team in the league right now?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know in the comments here or even on X at P Boojaranov.
