The NHL offseason is already heating up, and Brenden Escott is joined by Mick Kern from SiriusXM NHL Network radio to dive into the biggest stories shaping the league. With Mike Babcock cleared by the NHL to return behind an NHL bench, we examine whether he's the right fit for the Edmonton Oilers, how his coaching style would translate in today's game and what challenges would come with leading a Stanley Cup contender in one of hockey's most demanding markets. We also break down John Chayka's first major move as Leafs general manager, shipping Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to Philadelphia for Emil Andrae and Sam Ersson. What does the deal reveal about Toronto's priorities moving forward? Elsewhere around the league, the Leafs made a surprising choice by hiring Jim Hiller after an extensive coaching search, while the Vegas Golden Knights opted for continuity by promoting Ryan Craig from within. We compare the two approaches, discuss which organization handled its coaching search best and identify the biggest gamble of the offseason so far. Plus, with the NHL Draft just around the corner in Buffalo, we look at the top storylines, potential surprises and the rumours generating the most buzz as teams prepare for one of the most important events on the hockey calendar. We also examine the major offseason storylines that could reshape the league in the weeks ahead.
