| 5/20/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 40: Quinn Hughes to the New Jersey Devils?! ft. Rachel Herzog | Episode 40 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show features a very special guest, Rachel Herzog, host and analyst for the New Jersey Devils on MSG Network, and as it turns out, Keith's neighbor! We start by hearing Rachel's background: how she grew up in Minnesota playing Division I hockey at St. Cloud State, originally planned to become a doctor before pivoting to sports media, and powered through her first on-camera experiences despite being terrified (2:00). We talk about how a college friend pointed her toward sports broadcasting, how she spent six years at St. Cloud State building every skill she could, writing, producing, anchoring, video editing, before landing her first job in Fargo and ultimately getting the call from MSG on August 14th. Then we go behind the scenes at MSG Network, where Rachel breaks down what it's like working alongside Bryce Salvador, Ken Daneyko, and Don LaGreca, and what the team behind the scenes does to help her be the best she can be on broadcast (6:00). We then dive deep into the New Jersey Devils' season: what went wrong, the injury-riddled stretch from mid-November to the end of January that derailed everything, and what the offseason needs to look like for this team to get back on track (19:30). We also touch on Quinn Hughes and the buzz around where he might end up. We wrap up with the Coolbet question of the week: What advice does Rachel have for women trying to break into hockey media (25:30)? Rachel shares what it takes to carve your own path in a space that is still finding its footing for women, and why trying everything and tuning out the noise are the two most important things you can do.

| 5/14/26 | PuckPedia Cap Central 5/14: Coyle Extension + Player Raises | For Episode 19 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Keith Kavanaugh and Hart Levine dive into the pressing topics of the NHL salary cap world. They start with the Stanley Cup Playoffs (3:00) and how the Colorado Avalanche came back from 3-0 down to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in overtime and advance to the Western Conference Final, where they await the winner of the Vegas Golden Knights and the Anaheim Ducks. Then the Carolina Hurricanes swept the Philadelphia Flyers and await the winner of the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens. They also talked about the coaching changes with the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs (6:00), with Craig Berube and Kris Knoblauch getting relieved of their coaching duties, as well as the GM openings in Nashville and Vancouver. Then they dive into the Columbus Blue Jackets extension with Charlie Coyle (8:00). The extension was for 6 years which takes him to his age-40 season. Then they talk about the 376 players that will get raises next season due to the update to minimum base salary in the CBA (14:00). Some of the big names this impacts includes Nathan MacKinnon, Igor Shesterkin, and Tom Wilson. Then they wrap up the episode talking about the Buffalo Sabres decision to play Konsta Helenius, which triggered his 10th game this season thus making him no longer slide-eligible on his ELC (22:00).

| 5/13/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 39: McKenna or Stenberg? ft. Shane Malloy | Episode 39 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show features a very special guest, Shane Malloy: the host of Hockey Prospect Radio, co-host of the Hockey Data Show on SiriusXM with Timo Seppa, and a contributor with the Pro Hockey Group. We start by diving into Shane's background and how he got his start in hockey media completely by accident (1:00), writing for free on hockey websites in the early 2000s, cold-emailing NHL contacts using a media guide his Finnish neighbor gave him, and landing a job at Fox Sports, building out prospect coverage before anyone in mainstream media cared about it. We talk about how Shane and Russ Cohen launched Hockey Prospect Radio on XM Satellite Radio in 2005 after boldly cold-calling the program director, and how Shane learned to scout by spending two hundred games a year sitting in the corner of the rink with NHL scouts rather than in the press box with media. Then we get into the evolution of scouting and what has changed over his two decades in the industry (10:00). Shane breaks down his scouting process and what separates his rankings from the consensus, emphasizing the importance of a player's game, including how they compete and impact the game when things aren't going their way. We dive deep into Shane's draft rankings and the top prospects in the 2026 class (16:30), including Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg. We discuss the danger zone of picks twenty-three to thirty-two, where historically only fifty percent of players go on to play two hundred or more NHL games. Then we discuss the 2026 draft class (23:00), including Caleb Malhotra's rise in the rankings as a Jonathan Toews and Nico Hischier hybrid, and what his future looks like at the NHL level. We wrap up with the Coolbet question of the week (38:00). Shane's sleeper pick outside the top fifteen who he believes could shoot up into the top ten of any future redraft: Swedish centerman Alexander Command. Shane compares him to Sebastian Aho, seeing him as the anchor between two talented wingers at the U20 level.

| 5/8/26 | PuckPedia Cap Central 5/7: Leafs Win Draft Lottery | For Episode 18 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Keith Kavanaugh and Hart Levine dive into the pressing topics of the NHL salary cap world. They start the episode talking about the NHL Draft Lottery, where the Toronto Maple Leafs won the 1st overall pick, despite having the 4th best odds of 8.5% (3:00). The San Jose Sharks won the 2nd draft lottery and will be picking 2nd overall, despite only a 5% chance of winning that lottery. The Vancouver Canucks dropped from best odds to picking 3rd overall. Then they talk about the conditions on the Leafs 1st round picks the next two seasons, given this year’s pick is in the top 5 and is protected from their trade with the Bruins (8:30). PuckPedia is under the impression that if the Leafs are in the top 10 next season, they will have the choice to give the pick to either Boston or Philadelphia, with the other team getting the 2028 1st round pick. Then they talk about the June 1st rule and which players will have their draft rights expire (15:45). Players can either become free agents or re-enter the NHL Draft based on certain criteria. Then they talk about how the NHL has officially confirmed the Salary Cap for next season, which will have a ceiling of $104M (21:00). Then they wrap up the episode talking about the Playoff Cap, and how Vegas is now the team closest to the ceiling, with Colorado right behind them (29:00). However, it will be nearly impossible for any team to go over the Salary Cap ceiling for this year’s playoffs.

| 5/6/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 38: Raising the Gaudreaus' ft. Guy & Jane Gaudreau | Episode 38 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show features two very special guests: Guy and Jane Gaudreau, the parents of John and Matt Gaudreau, as well as their daughters Katie and Kristen. We dive right into the Gaudreau family story with Guy, a Hall of Famer at Norwich University in both soccer and hockey, talking about introducing the boys to sports as young as 18-19 months old, and how John and Matt ultimately chose hockey over everything else (0:30). John even turned down a varsity soccer coach who promised him a Division 1 full ride because he was committed to hockey. We then discuss the boys growing up as Flyers fans in South Jersey, just twenty minutes outside of Philadelphia, and playing on a AAA team called the Little Flyers. John always said he wanted to put on a Flyers jersey before his career ended no matter what. Guy and Jane were in attendance at the Flyers game on Saturday night as Philly closed out the Penguins series. Then we dive into the boys' recruitment to Boston College, including how both John and Matt were originally committed to Northeastern before the coaching staff was let go, which led to their releases and ultimately their paths to BC (4:30). John won a national championship in his first year, earned the Hobey Baker Award, and shared the ice with Matt before heading to the NHL. We then discuss the USA Hockey tribute to John and Matt and what that meant to the Gaudreau family (9:00). We then pivot to the Gaudreau Family Foundation and the upcoming 5K on May 16th, which people can participate in both in-person and virtually (15:30). The foundation's mission is to honor the memory of John and Matt while supporting causes close to the family's heart: grassroots hockey development, special needs hockey, sled hockey, blind hockey, animals, and building a playground for handicapped students at Archbishop Damiano School, a school deeply connected to the Gaudreau family. We wrap up with details on how to get involved with the in-person and virtual 5K (19:30), which last year reached all fifty states and participants from multiple countries, with NHL players and their families joining in. Guy and Jane close by expressing their heartfelt gratitude to the entire hockey community for the love and support shown to their family.

| 4/29/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 37: NHL Playoff Madness ft. Jonny Lazarus | Episode 37 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show features a very special guest: Jonny Lazarus, hockey insider and co-host of Morning Cuppa Hockey. Keith just got back from a trip to Cabo for his college friend's wedding and missed a chunk of the first round of the playoffs, so he brings Jonny on to break it all down. We start with the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins series, diving deep into Game 5 and what a potential Vladař injury could mean for Philly going forward (2:00). The Flyers haven't scored a first-period goal in the entire series yet, which raises serious questions about how they set the tone going into Game 6. Meanwhile, the Penguins' power play has found its footing while Philly's has struggled, and you can never count out a team with Crosby, Malkin, and Letang who have all been here before. Then we move on to the Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth series, where Jonny admits he fully underestimated Utah's speed and skill (5:30). Both guys dive into what Shea Theodore's overtime winner means for the series heading back to Vegas, and how the Mammoth have made this a much more competitive series than most people anticipated heading in. We move to the Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins series, where both guys share their thoughts on how that matchup has played out (9:30). Then we cover the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks series and what has stood out through the early rounds (13:30). Then we get into the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning series, breaking down whether Montreal has what it takes to pull off the upset against a veteran Lightning squad (17:30). We shift to the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild, discussing how that series has unfolded and what a potential second-round matchup could look like (20:30). We talk about the first round sweeps and who the early Stanley Cup favorites are shaping up to be (24:00), including how the Colorado Avalanche have looked despite some injury concerns with Cale Makar. We wrap up with the Coolbet question of the week: What do the Rangers and Devils each need to do this offseason to get back into playoff contention (29:30)? Jonny breaks down what the Rangers need up front and on the blue line, while Keith touches on the Devils' situation heading into what should be a busy offseason for both tri-state teams.

| 4/22/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 36: College Hockey’s Rise & Great Debate ft. Adam Wodon | Episode 36 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show features a very special guest, Adam Wodon, the founder of College Hockey News. Adam has been embedded in college hockey for over 35 years as a broadcaster, writer, and editor, and runs the go-to destination for everything NCAA hockey at CollegeHockeyNews.com. We start the episode by discussing Adam's background and how he got into college hockey (2:00). He attended Ithaca College, a school that has produced five current NHL broadcasters, and covered Cornell hockey as a student media contributor. He then worked on broadcasts for Princeton and Cornell, had a brief stint in the minor leagues, and ultimately made college hockey his niche, turning his passion into College Hockey News when the internet made it possible to build the stats and roster resource he always wanted for his own broadcasts. Then we dive into the evolution of college hockey and the growing impact of NIL and the transfer portal (12:00). Adam discusses how the game has completely shifted, pointing to players like Michael Hage choosing to return to Michigan for his junior year as a sign that NIL money is now a real factor in keeping top talent in the NCAA. We also discuss how facilities and the grind of the schedule in the AHL versus college hockey have made the NCAA an increasingly attractive option for developing players. Then we get into some of the hot-button topics that came up in recent episodes with Colby Cohen and Mike Grinnell (20:00). Adam shares his thoughts on the neutral-site regionals format and whether the debate around it will ever be resolved. He's direct because he thinks college hockey has the same summer debates year after year without any real resolution, and the regionals discussion is no different. We talk about the Frozen Four in Las Vegas and Denver's dominance under Coach David Carle, who has now won three national championships in five years (26:00). Adam also touches on the Spittin' Chiclets situation at the Frozen Four, and the record TV ratings the tournament pulled in. We wrap up by discussing the future of the NCAA versus major junior pipeline (30:00). Adam believes Porter Martone's success with the Philadelphia Flyers (scoring in both of his first two playoff games) is essentially a walking advertisement for NCAA Hockey and expects NHL teams to become even more comfortable with the college development route going forward.

Colby Cohen | Episode 35 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show has a very special guest on, Colby Cohen from ESPN and Daily Faceoff. We get into it right away as Colby gives us insight into how Colby met John Buccigross and how their relationship evolved and he got into his current role doing the Frozen Four each year (2:00). We touch on Jonathan Quick’s career as he just played his last game on Monday and how the Rangers celebrated his career (5:00). Then we dive into Colby’s hockey career, how he got drafted in the NHL by the Colorado Avalanche in 2007, then winning a national championship with BU in 2009, before playing his 3 NHL games with the Avs in 2010 (9:00). Then we dive into the NCAA Frozen Four this past weekend in Las Vegas, and how Denver University and Coach David Carle has won his third national championship as Head Coach in the last 5 years (14:00). We also talk about how the NCAA shot down all of the content plans that Spittin’ Chiclets had set up and it was better for them to buy their own tickets than go the media credentials route. Then we talk through Colby’s current career, and how he balances watching all of this hockey for his Morning Cuppa Hockey show, but also how he has to ramp up watching NCAA Hockey as the Frozen Four approaches (20:00). Colby’s schedule ramps down in the summers and he’s able to spend a lot of family time down at the Jersey Shore. Then we transition to the NHL Playoffs, Colby paid close attention to the Flyers so we dive deep into their season and how they made the playoffs (27:00). Porter Martone has made a big impact right away, and there’s been a constant discourse between Rick Tocchet and Matvei Michkov all season. We also dive into Trevor Zegras’s next contract and what the numbers will look like as Zegras is an RFA this off-season (33:00). We touch on the other juggernauts of the Eastern Conference like the Tampa Bay Lightning, Buffalo Sabres, and Carolina Hurricanes.

John is the Senior NHL Writer. We talked about his background and how he got into journalism and writing about hockey (2:00).

We also touch on the Buffalo Sabres and how electric it’s been lately and how the city will be rocking in April if they make the postseason this year. Then we talk about the Carolina Hurricanes and how shocked we were that they were quiet at the Deadline when they had the assets to strengthen their group going into the playoffs (30:30). We wrap up the episode talking about the Western Conference and if the Colorado Avalanche are the team to beat, or if the Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, or Vegas Golden Knights can overthrow them (36:00).

| 3/12/26 | PuckPedia Cap Central 3/12: NHL Trade Deadline Recap + No Trade Clauses | For Episode 13 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Hart Levine and Keith Kavanaugh recap the NHL Trade Deadline. They talk about some of the big moves like Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche and John Carlson to the Anaheim Ducks. They also get into some under the radar moves like Conor Garland to Columbus and Bobby McMann to Seattle. Then they talk about Nick Schmaltz new 8-year, $64M contract extension with the Utah Mammoth. Schmaltz is having a career year and locked down long-term security in Utah. Then they dive into the No Trade Clauses, how many players have them, and which teams have the most. They are a driving force into why there was less action at the Trade Deadline this year with a decent amount of trades blocked according to insiders. Then they talk about the Ottawa Senators, who originally forfeited their first round pick in this year’s NHL Draft due to not disclosing a trade clause in Evgenii Dadonov’s contract. The League ruled today that the Senators will get their pick back, but it will be the last pick of the first round, they cannot move that pick, and they will pay a fine of $1 Million.

| 3/11/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 31: NHL Trade Deadline Recap ft. Spittin’ Chiclets Mike Grinnell | Episode 31 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show has a very special guest on, producer of Spittin’ Chiclets Mike Grinnell. Grinnelli gives us a rundown of his early career, when he realized he wasn’t going pro in hockey and how he got his start in sports media (2:30). His confidence allowed him to get a really good opportunity to do a national show with ESPN New Hampshire. Then as the station was getting acquired and his job was up in the air, he just heard the first episode of Spittin’ Chiclets. So he sent Rear Admiral (RA) an email and the rest was history (9:00). We talk about the evolution of Spittin’ Chiclets, which initially started with Ryan Whitney and RA, and has since added Paul “Biz Nasty” Bissonnette and Keith “SONK” Yandle (12:00). He tells us how Dave Portnoy and Erika Nardini from Barstool Sports allowed these guys to try things and fail, which makes their success better by learning from their mistakes (15:00). We dive deeper into the Pink Whitney brand and how that situation with New Amsterdam played out (18:15), to now turn into one of the top drinks in the US and Canada. Then we talk about what are some steps we can take to grow the game of hockey, including affordability and accessibility, as well as trades and blockbuster acquisitions that drive news cycles and entertainment value (22:00). Then we get into the Trade Deadline and recap which teams won and lost (27:00). Teams like the Colorado Avalanche adding Nazem Kadri and the Anaheim Ducks adding John Carlson stood out as teams addressing needs to help with a playoff push. But teams like the Carolina Hurricanes who had a lot of cap space and didn’t add anything stuck out as a little disappointing, given how weak the East is this year. Also the New York Rangers kept Vincent Trocheck when his trade value was likely at an all-time high (33:00). We also touched on Robert Thomas and Colton Parayko not being traded from St. Louis, and the Foligno brothers joined forces in Minnesota. Then we wrap up the episode talking about College Hockey and ChicletsU, and what exactly Mike thinks will help grow college hockey for the general hockey fanbase (40:00).

| 2/26/26 | PuckPedia Cap Central 2/26: NHL Trade Deadline Talk + Penguins / Avalanche Trade | For Episode 12 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Hart Levine and Keith Kavanaugh quickly recap the Olympic hockey tournament where USA captured the gold medal over Canada (1:00). They dive into the trade that happened the other day where the Pittsburgh Penguins sent Brett Kulak to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Sam Girard and a 2nd round draft pick (5:00). Pittsburgh now owns 16 draft picks in the first 3 rounds of the next 3 drafts. Colorado on the other hand now has over $10M in projected cap space before the Trade Deadline. Then they talk about the Oilers cap situation, as Hart predicted just how it would play out (14:00). The Oilers sent Matthew Savoie to the minors, activated Adam Henrique from LTIR, then accrued just enough cap space to call Savoie back up to Edmonton without missing an NHL game. The Oilers now only have $10K in current cap space. They also talked about the unfortunate Kevin Fiala injury, who is out for the season after getting injured for Switzerland in the Olympics (20:45). The Kings could place Fiala on LTIR, but they would have no cap advantage to doing that as they have $13M in current salary cap space. Hart discusses what moves LA could make to optimize their salary cap and potentially weaponize their cap space. They wrap up the show talking about how they envision the Trade Deadline playing out over the next week or so, and if we will see some big names like Robert Thomas, Nazem Kadri, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Patrik Laine on the move (27:00).

| 2/25/26 | The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 29: Olympic Recap + NHL Trade Deadline Talk ft. Ian Pulver | On Episode 29 of The PuckPedia Hockey Show we welcome recurring guest, founder of the Will Sports Group, NHLPA certified agent Ian Pulver. We begin the episode recapping the Olympics (2:30), where the United States won the Gold Medal in a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Canada thanks to the game-winning goal from Jack Hughes and stellar play from Connor Hellebuyck. Ian lends some great perspective on the condensed schedule given the Olympic break and how that might affect the teams and players as they enter the stretch run towards the playoffs (6:30). Then we talk about the NHL Trade Deadline coming up on March 6th, and how he generally approaches this time of year as an agent (9:00), and how he communicates everything with his clients. Given the new media world we live in, we discuss how he handles when the top NHL insiders break news, sometimes before that information gets to the players. With his prior work as an NHLPA counsel, we also discuss the current situation in the MLB as a potential lockout looms given no salary cap is in place (17:00). Ian provided great insight into why he believes the salary cap won’t provide the MLB the parity they think it will. We wrap up the episode talking about a couple of Ian’s clients. Tyler Seguin was having a strong year for the Dallas Stars before he got a torn ACL that potentially ended his season (22:00). We talk about how he handles the low moments like these for his clients. Then we discuss an exciting rookie he represents, Beckett Sennecke of the Anaheim Ducks (26:00). We touch on his breakout year and how the right environment has enabled him to succeed this season.
