The NHL's salary landscape has officially changed.

Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek break down Cale Makar's massive $20.4 million AAV extension with the Colorado Avalanche, the new benchmark it creates for NHL superstars, and what the deal could mean for the next wave of contracts, including Quinn Hughes and Adam Fantilli.

The guys debate whether players should be expected to take less money to help their teams win, how rapidly the NHL salary cap is rising, and what a potential $150 million salary cap could mean for superstar contracts in the future.

Then, the conversation turns to two of the NHL's biggest trade situations: Connor Hellebuyck and Dylan Larkin. Hellebuyck has publicly requested a trade from Winnipeg, but with no deal completed yet, what is holding things up? The guys discuss his market, Winnipeg's options and whether Hellebuyck could still be with the Jets when training camp opens.

They also break down the complicated situation surrounding Dylan Larkin and the Detroit Red Wings, including the team's search for a new general manager, Larkin's limited trade destinations, his captaincy and whether Detroit should wait for its new GM before making a franchise-altering decision.

Plus, Jason and Jeff debate whether NHL rivalries are being underutilized, why the league should schedule more rivalry games and how creating more meaningful matchups could help increase fan engagement.

The episode also features Buy or Sell, including Quinn Hughes' next contract and whether the Washington Capitals have done enough to become legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, plus Brady Tkachuk's expected impact with the Florida Panthers.

Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp return for another Daily Faceoff Rundown, breaking down the biggest NHL offseason storylines with training camp just around the corner.

The guys take a look at the remaining NHL free agents looking for contracts, including Patrik Laine, Vladimir Tarasenko, Riley Smith, David Perron and Adam Henrique. Could Patrik Laine be a fit with the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Islanders or Philadelphia Flyers? With his power-play ability still one of his biggest weapons, where is the best landing spot for the former 40-goal scorer?

They also examine the Anaheim Ducks' offseason and whether their blue line is good enough to make another playoff push after losing veteran defensemen Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas. Could Logan Stanley be a fit for Anaheim as the Ducks look to add some size and experience on defense?

Plus, the guys discuss Connor Ingram and the remaining goaltenders available on the free-agent market, the new NHL preseason schedule and its impact on veterans and players fighting for roster spots, and why the shortened preseason could change the way teams approach training camp.

The Rundown also takes a look at NHL betting projections, including the Vancouver Canucks' 74.5-point total, the race to win the Eastern and Western Conferences, and Patrick Kane's projected goal total in his return to Chicago.

Finally, Gregor and Rupp discuss whether the Florida Panthers can bounce back after an injury-filled season, why the Edmonton Oilers should be one of the NHL's biggest regular-season bounce-back teams, and what to expect from the New Jersey Devils under new GM Sunny Mehta.

The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions, ending a 20-year wait and cementing themselves as one of the NHL's model franchises.

Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek break down Carolina's championship run, discussing the impact of Jordan Staal, Taylor Hall, Rod Brind'Amour, Eric Tulsky, and the organizational philosophy that turned the Hurricanes into Stanley Cup winners. They also examine what comes next for Carolina and whether they're positioned to become the NHL's next dynasty.

The conversation then shifts to the Vegas Golden Knights and a fascinating offseason. Could John Tortorella be moving on despite leading Vegas to the Stanley Cup Final? What should the Golden Knights do with Pavel Dorofeyev, Rasmus Andersson, and Frederik Andersen's situation? And how aggressive will Vegas be this summer?

Plus: NHL trade rumors, offer sheet candidates, Jason Robertson speculation, Maverick Bourque, the Chicago Blackhawks' rebuild, Darren Raddysh's free agency outlook, and Buy or Sell.
