Show Notes

It’s early in the season, but plenty of great storylines are emerging. The Buffalo Sabres are surprising the league. The team is being driven by Rasmus Dahlin, who made history over the last week, and Eric Comrie's hot streak. There are some rookies who are playing well too. The Canadiens have a pair that are making headlines for completely different reasons. Jason and Frank discussed talked about that and debated whether or not its best for players like Juraj Slafkovsky in Montreal and Shane Wright in Seattle to spend the entire season in the NHL.


From there, they talked about the news that the salary cap could go up as much as $4.5 million this summer. Frank explained how that could happen and Jason shared a few teams that would really benefit from this happening. 


To wrap things up, Tyler Yaremchuk joined the guys for Buy or Sell delivered by DoorDash. He asked them about some potential 40-goal scorers and he shared who the most profitable team in the league has been from a betting perspective so far this season.
