Welcome back to another episode of the All Facts Podcast led by Haris Vekar!The NHL season is ALMOST here, and this preview episode lays out the players, teams, and trophy races that could define the year. If you want to know who is ready to break out, which contenders are being underestimated, and where the biggest surprises might come from, this is the conversation to hear before opening night. Host Haris Vekar and Guest William St. Louis break down the upcoming season with sharp predictions on the Calder, Norris, Selke, Ted Lindsay, Hart, Rocket Richard, Vezina, and the President's Trophy race. From Macklin Celebrini, Porter Martone, and Ivar Stenberg to Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, Nick Suzuki, Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, and Andrei Vasilevskiy, they weigh the stars, the dark horses, and the names that could take the next step. You'll discover why opportunity matters as much as talent in a rookie race, why some defensemen are still being undervalued despite elite point totals, and why the league's best two-way forwards keep getting overlooked in award voting. We also dig into the teams most likely to win their divisions, with especially close attention on the Atlantic and Metro races, where health, depth, and goaltending could flip the standings. The episode then shifts into breakout candidates for nearly every team, and at the center of it all is the question every hockey fan wants answered: which stars will hold their level, which prospects will force their way into the spotlight, and which teams are ready to turn preseason buzz into real results? Perfect for fans who want a fast, opinionated, and highly watchable NHL season preview before the first puck drops.

Blake breaks down the Top 10 fantasy hockey defencemen for 2026-27 in both Points leagues and Category leagues.The rankings aren't identical, and that's the point. We look at how goals, assists, power-play production, shots, hits and blocks change the value of players like Cale Makar, Zach Werenski, Evan Bouchard, Quinn Hughes, Rasmus Dahlin, Matthew Schaefer and more. We also dig into why some defencemen rise in category formats, why others are better suited to points scoring.If you're preparing for a 2026-27 fantasy hockey draft, this is your quick guide to the blue liners worth prioritizing.Let's get to BIZ!!

Summer Coolers – Minnesota WildThe Minnesota Wild enter 2026-27 believing their playoff run could have gone much deeper if injuries hadn't intervened. Minnesota finished third in the Central, third in the Western Conference, and seventh overall before defeating Dallas in six games for its first playoff series victory since 2015. The Wild then lost to Colorado in five without Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin, while Zach Bogosian also went down late in the series. Now Bill Guerin and John Hynes have a talented veteran roster led by Kirill Kaprizov—and one enormous question hanging over the franchise: can they convince superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes to stay in Minnesota long-term?IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Minnesota finishes third in the Central and West and seventh overall before eliminating Dallas in six games.[00:00:25] It marks the Wild's first playoff series victory since defeating St. Louis in the opening round in 2015.[00:00:40] Colorado eliminates Minnesota in five, but injuries become a major part of the story. Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin both miss the series.[00:00:55] Zach Bogosian also misses the final game, forcing Jake Middleton into a difficult situation against the Avalanche.[00:01:00] Neil sees plenty for GM Bill Guerin and head coach John Hynes to build around as Hynes begins his fourth season behind the Minnesota bench.[00:01:15] Quinn Hughes, acquired from Vancouver during the season, gives Minnesota one of hockey's elite offensive defensemen and dramatically changes the Wild's ceiling.[00:01:35] Minnesota improves across the board: 3.27 goals per game, fourth defensively, third on the power play, and 16th on the penalty kill.[00:01:55] The penalty kill's jump from 30th to 16th is especially significant and shows meaningful improvement in an area that had been a major weakness.[00:02:00] Minnesota acquires Blake Coleman and Olli Määttä from Calgary for Jake Middleton and three future draft picks.[00:02:20] Neil likes Coleman but questions how much Määttä has left, noting that Middleton plus three picks represents a substantial return for Calgary.[00:02:40] Michael McCarron and Bobby Brink re-sign. McCarron receives a six-year deal worth approximately $3.33 million per season after making an impact following his arrival from Nashville.[00:03:00] Nick Foligno and Zach Bogosian also return, while Minnesota adds Justin Kirkland and goaltender Calvin Pickard on a one-year, $1 million contract.[00:03:15] Max Shabanov joins on a one-year deal after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Islanders.[00:03:25] The biggest departure is Mats Zuccarello, who signs with the Los Angeles Kings.[00:03:40] Neil calls Zuccarello a throwback—undersized and not an elite skater, but consistently effective and especially dangerous on the power play.[00:04:00] Attention shifts to Minnesota's biggest issue: Quinn Hughes still has not signed the long-term extension that had been rumored earlier in the summer.[00:04:20] Minnesota is already the NHL's sixth-oldest team, meaning the Wild are firmly in a win-now window. Keeping Hughes becomes one of Guerin's highest priorities.[00:04:40] Neil points to persistent speculation that Hughes eventually wants to play with his brothers in New Jersey. His failure to sign with Minnesota this summer only adds fuel to those rumors.[00:05:00] What will it cost to keep him? Neil believes Hughes could command more than $18 million per season.[00:05:20] With Kaprizov already around the $17 million range, Neil believes Hughes will naturally expect to earn at least as much as his superstar teammate.[00:05:45] The rapidly escalating NHL salary market could make negotiations even more complicated, particularly after other massive contracts signed around the league.[00:06:00] Neil discusses how the Leo Carlsson deal could ripple across future negotiations, including Cutter Gauthier's situation in Anaheim.[00:06:20] The possibility of both Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar reaching unrestricted free agency creates the potential for an unprecedented NHL bidding frenzy.Minnesota has enough talent to contend right now, especially if last season's injured players return healthy. But the biggest storyline extends beyond this season: the Wild have an elite defenseman in Quinn Hughes. Now they have to convince him that Minnesota is where he wants to spend his prime.

Cale Makar scores big but the Fraser Minten and Zeev Buium contracts were more surprising.  We continue to wait to see what will happen with Connor Hellebuyck and Dylan Larkin who have both asked for trades.

September is here, and the sports calendar is getting crowded. This week, we react to the richest contract in NHL history, check in on baseball's race to October, discuss the return of one of the NFL's all-time great defenders, and go all-in on college football with our Week 1 reactions and Week 2 Games of the Week. Cale Makar's Record-Setting Extension Cale Makar isn't going anywhere. The Colorado Avalanche have signed their superstar defenseman to an eight-year, $163.2 million extension worth $20.4 million per season, the richest contract in NHL history. We discuss whether anyone is more deserving of that kind of investment, what the deal means for Colorado's championship window, and where Makar already ranks among the great defenseman of his generation. MLB Playoff Race With September underway, every game starts to a matter a little more. We check in on the division races and crowded Wild Card picture, identify the teams that appear built for October, and discuss which contenders have the most pressure on them during the final month of the regular season. Aaron Donald Comes Out of Retirement Aaron Donald is back. After stepping away following the 2023 season, the future Hall of Famer is returning to the Los Angeles Rams for another run. We discuss what Donald could realistically have left at 35 years old, how his return changes an already loaded Rams defense featuring Myles Garrett, and whether Los Angeles should now be viewed as the team to beat in the NFC. College Football Week 1 Games of the Week Recap We revisit our five opening-weekend Games of the Week, (Baylor vs. Auburn, Clemson vs. LSU, Louisville vs. Ole Miss, Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame, and SMU vs. Florida State), to see what we got right, what we got completely wrong, and what each result tells us about these teams moving forward. College Football Week 2 Games of the Week Then it's time to do it all over again. We preview and predict five of the biggest games on the Week 2 schedule: the renewed Missouri-Kansas Border War, Oklahoma at Michigan, Arizona at BYU, Ohio State at Texas, and Iowa State at Iowa. We break down the biggest storylines and matchups before making our picks for each game. Thanks for listening to Fired Up!

Summer Coolers – Colorado AvalancheThe Colorado Avalanche were arguably the NHL's most dominant regular-season team, capturing the Presidents' Trophy while leading the league in offense, defense, save percentage, and penalty killing. But their pursuit of another Stanley Cup ended abruptly when the Vegas Golden Knights swept them in the Western Conference Final, with an injured Cale Makar unable to make his usual impact. Now Colorado enters 2026-27 with significant roster turnover, Joe Sakic temporarily back in the GM chair, questions about lost depth, and one enormous piece of business looming: Makar's next contract. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine whether the Avalanche remain the powerhouse they were a year ago.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Colorado comes off a Presidents' Trophy-winning season, capturing the award for the fourth time in franchise history while reaching the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a ninth consecutive year.[00:00:25] The Avalanche race through the first two rounds, sweeping Los Angeles before eliminating Minnesota in five games and reaching the Western Conference Final in only nine playoff games.[00:00:45] Their postseason ends dramatically against Vegas. The Golden Knights sweep Colorado in the conference final, with Cale Makar missing the opening two games before returning for the final two while clearly not at full strength.[00:01:10] The result becomes another reminder that regular-season dominance guarantees nothing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Recent Presidents' Trophy winners have experienced dramatically different outcomes once the postseason begins.[00:01:35] Neil points back to Boston's record-setting 2022-23 season as perhaps the ultimate example. The Bruins dominated the regular season before being eliminated by Florida in the opening round.[00:02:00] Winning the Presidents' Trophy requires tremendous consistency over a full season, but Neil explains that the grind can also take a physical toll before the playoffs even begin.[00:02:20] Makar's health becomes especially significant because Neil considers him, along with Nathan MacKinnon, one of the two most important players on the Avalanche roster.[00:02:40] Colorado's regular-season numbers demonstrate just how dominant the team was. The Avalanche lead the NHL offensively at 3.63 goals per game.[00:03:00] Colorado also finishes first defensively at 2.37 goals allowed per game, while Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood combine to help produce an NHL-best .908 save percentage.[00:03:20] The penalty kill ranks first at 84.6 percent, giving the Avalanche elite performance in almost every major statistical category.[00:03:40] Then comes one of the NHL season's biggest statistical mysteries: despite possessing an incredible collection of offensive talent, Colorado's power play finishes only 27th.[00:04:00] A unit featuring Makar, Devon Toews, MacKinnon, Martin Nečas, Brock Nelson, Nazem Kadri, and Valeri Nichushkin consistently struggles to translate its skill into production with the man advantage.[00:04:20] Vic believes the Avalanche frequently tried to be too perfect, forcing passes into the middle while too many long-distance shots missed the net.[00:04:40] Neil offers another explanation: Colorado may simply have had too many players who wanted the puck. With only one puck available, the group never consistently established who should shoot, who should distribute, and who should become the primary setup option.[00:05:00] Despite Jared Bednar's coaching and Colorado's extraordinary talent, the power play remains an unexplained weakness throughout an otherwise dominant season.[00:05:20] The offseason brings a major front-office change when General Manager Chris MacFarland leaves Colorado on June 2 to join Nashville as President of Hockey Operations.[00:05:40] Joe Sakic steps back into the general manager role on an interim basis and quickly begins reshaping the roster.[00:06:00] Colorado trades Ross Colton and a goaltending prospect to Nashville in exchange for another goalie prospect and third-round selections in 2026 and 2027.[00:06:20] Eight days later, Sakic makes another deal with his former GM, sending Jack Drury, Chase Bradley, and a 2029 third-round selection to Nashville for promising forward Fedor Svechkov and physical forward Zachary L'Heureux.[00:06:45] Valeri Nichushkin is also traded to Columbus for three draft picks, removing another significant forward from Colorado's lineup.[00:07:00] Neil notes that MacKinnon and Makar remain the franchise cornerstones, but championship teams cannot survive on superstars alone. Losing players such as Colton, Drury, Nichushkin, and Joel Kiviranta changes Colorado's overall depth.[00:07:25] Neil remains confident that Colorado will be a strong team, but unlike a year ago, he takes more of a wait-and-see approach because of the amount of supporting talent that has departed.[00:07:50] The biggest long-term storyline surrounds Makar, who enters the final season of his contract at $9 million per year and could become an unrestricted free agent.[00:08:10] With the NHL salary cap scheduled to climb to $113.5 million, Vic expects Makar—along with Dallas star Jason Robertson—to become one of the first players in the next wave of enormous NHL contracts.[00:08:35] Neil explains an important distinction about the rising salary cap: simply because teams are allowed to spend to the ceiling does not mean every franchise has the financial ability or willingness to do so.[00:09:00] The cap represents the maximum a team can spend, not an obligation. Neil compares it to being told you can spend $10,000 in a store—it does not mean you actually have or want to spend the entire amount.[00:09:20] Colorado does spend to retain some defensive depth, re-signing Brent Kulak for five years at $4.5 million per season and bringing back veteran Brent Burns on a one-year, $850,000 contract.[00:09:40] The Avalanche also acquire Jaden Schwartz from Seattle on a three-year deal at $3.25 million per season while adding forwards Vinnie Hinostroza from Florida and Noah Cates from Philadelphia.[00:10:00] Colorado still possesses the superstar foundation necessary to compete for the Stanley Cup, but the supporting cast looks different. Whether the new pieces can replace the depth that departed—and how the Avalanche handle Makar's looming contract—will help determine whether the Presidents' Trophy winners remain among the NHL's true elite in 2026-27.

The crew reacts to the first fantasy hockey mock draft on NHL.com/Fantasy for the 2026-27 season, covering all the debates from No. 1 overall to goalie decisions, reaches, bargains and more. Topics covered include the options at No. 6 overall between Cale Makar, Kirill Kaprizov and David Pastrnak, the run on defensemen in the middle rounds, debating the Dallas Stars' top forward, the top of the rookie class with Porter Martone, Cole Hutson and Gavin McKenna and stacking options from the Florida Panthers and other sneaky players to target in late rounds.

Cale Makar is officially the highest-paid player in NHL history, signing an eight-year extension worth $20.4 million per season. What does the massive contract mean for the Colorado Avalanche and the rest of the NHL? Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette joins Meghan Angley to break down Makar's record deal, how it could impact the market for elite defensemen, and whether the Avalanche have the salary-cap flexibility to keep their championship core together. We also look at how Colorado's roster construction could help them manage Makar's contract, what the Avs may have to sacrifice to stay competitive, and how recent mega-deals around the NHL have shaped the market. Plus, we hear from Logan O'Connor on the Avalanche's leadership, playoff mindset and what the team needs to improve moving forward. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For the 2nd hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they point out a double standard when it comes to the folks outraged about losing Justin Joly. They hear Cale Makar talking about his shiny new deal. Mike does a deep dive on 5th round TE’s and how improbable it was that Justin Joly would turn out in the first place. Stoke breaks down Sam Ehlinger’s performance in the Broncos’ preseason finale in his Telestrator Tuesday film breakdown. The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where the Broncos’ practice squad is rounding out, Jonathan Cooper may be on double secret probation, and the NFL has a new monster heel.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on CSU Football, and Zach shares his pick for who will be the starting quarterback for the Rams this season. We pivot to the Broncos and take a deep dive into Bo Nix, as he was left off ESPN's top 100 players in the NFL list. Is this more disrespect, or do we overrate Nix here in Denver? Are the guys fans of the Broncos starting their season on Monday Night Football, with the whole country watching? What players that got cut and are on the Broncos' practice squad have the biggest chance to make an impact for the Broncos this season? Today's "Three Count" includes who has and has not returned to practice for the Broncos this week, the Rockies getting robbed on a potential walk-off home run in last night's thrilling game, and Kroenke Sports and Entertainment acquiring the Los Angeles Angels. We react to Joe Sakic's comments on Cale Makar's contract extension and balancing the roster moving forward with the salary cap steadily going up. 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos and Bo Nix, as he was left off ESPN's top 100 players in the NFL list. Is this more disrespect, or do we overrate Nix here in Denver? Why do people continue to hold on to their old takes on Nix and not adjust as he is setting records in his first two seasons in the NFL? We react to Joe Sakic's comments on Cale Makar from his press conference yesterday. Is Makar already a Hall of Famer? What challenges does Sakic face moving forward with Makar, MacKinnon, and Necas taking up so much of the Avs salary cap? We wrap up the show previewing Colorado and Colorado State's first game of the college football season this week and weekend.

Are the Broncos guaranteed to win double-digit games? Will they find themselves in the AFC Championship game? Can Cecil's guy win the offensive rookie of the year award? We hear from Sean Payton! Why did they let go of Justin Joly? Did they think they could get him back on their practice squad? Is his reasoning enough to take away the frustration of them letting him go? Cale Makar and Joe Sakic talked yesterday. Did Cale feel responsible for resetting the market? Was it Cale or the Avs that wanted to get an eight-year deal done? The Rockies are on another major losing skid. How did last night's game go? Is another 100-loss season all but guaranteed at this point? Where did the Broncos find themselves on a national outlets tier list?

In the third hour of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the hour by reacting to something ESPN put out for the Denver Broncos. What are some sure-fire investments for every team?

In hour two of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the hour by checking up on our friends in Boulder. What did Deion Sanders say about his team? What does he think about playing Georgia Tech later this week? Are he and his coaching staff on the same page as the season is getting ready to start? The Buffs have struggled in night games. What is he doing to make his players game-ready for their first night game? We hear from Jim Mora over in Fort Collins. What are the team's emotions going into a rivalry game against Wyoming? What does he know about the history between the two rivals? Will Petersen joins us in the studio. He was at the Avs presser yesterday. What did he learn from Joe Sakic and Cale Makar? How many Cups do we now expect this team to win? Is there any real buzz that the Avs could shift their focus now to land Connor Hellebuyck? We check our X to close out the hour! 

Sooooooooo Cale Makar has set the bar for the D market, eh??? What does this mean for the Avs depth? What does this mean the other stud defenseman in the league?

The man behind Cale Makar's record-setting contract extension joined us this morning: Avs GM Joe Sakic. What does it mean to both Joe and the Avs to have Cale locked up for (almost) another decade?

0:00 - Jeff Legwold explained how the NFL will handle Jonathon Cooper while we await his trial, because there's a precedent for it. Bottom line is this: you have to treat it like he suffered a torn ACL in camp and will be out for the season. The Broncos have to prepare for the worst.17:00 - USC published a statement regarding the low attendance at their Week 0 game. Cry us a river, Trojans. LSU is sticking to their guns, and will allow the former NFL player to return to college football. The SEC is debating what to do with LSU if they won't budge. They'd never kick LSU out of the conference, right??CU begins their season on Thursday, and even though we know nothing about this team, we should expect the offense to look better. We should expect the QB to be more prepared. Is that fair?28:40 - The man behind Cale Makar's record-setting contract extension joined us this morning: Avs GM Joe Sakic.

In the 3rd hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they dissect and debunk ever claim made in the most recent FS1 segment tearing down Bo Nix’s game. They speculate surprise cuts for players on the Broncos’ roster bubble ahead of the preseason finale. Cale Makar’s huge new contract is, according to the reports, a done deal. The only questions are: how much money? And, how many years?  The Morning Crew end the third hour looking at some numbers that The Fan’s Senior Broncos Writer, Andrew Mason, put together ahead of Broncos cut-down day.

Who are the guys expecting to make the Broncos' final 53-man roster? Zach, Phil, and the guys compete in our weekly trivia competition against the morning show. We review the Morning Show's gripe with one of our questions and try to beat their 2-2 performance from earlier today.
