Who Are The Tier One Cup Contenders?

Jason and Frank are back after another summer hiatus to break down what’s going on around the hockey world. 

They started by talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s been a busy few weeks for the Leafs front office with extensions for both Auston Matthews and Sheldon Keefe getting done. What’s next? A lot of people would assume that an extension for William Nyland would be the next item for Brad Treliving to check off and Frank gave some insight into that situation.

They also listed off some teams that they think are facing some serious pressure next season and also which teams they believe are true ‘tier one’ Stanley Cup Contenders. Frank listed off ten teams and Gregor said that’s too many, which led to a good debate about a few teams, one being the LA Kings.

Tyler hopped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about some interesting betting lines that are available at Betano. Are people sleeping on the Coyotes? Can Crosby hit 30 goals? Will McDavid creep close to 60 again? Frank and Jason gave their thoughts on that.

They wrapped up the show by talking about some free agents that are still sitting unsigned, including the NHL’s iron man Phil Kessel.
