Dylan Guenther Can Hit 50 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Austin lays out the math on Dylan Guenther’s path to 50 goals, starting with last season’s 40 goals in 79 games, 242 shots, and a 16.5 shooting percentage. The case is straightforward: the finishing talent is already real, but the volume has to jump from 3.06 shots per game to roughly 3.4 or more. The bigger point is tactical. Utah has to treat Guenther’s left-circle one-timer spot like sacred ground, with teammates creating space and feeding him across the slot line the way Nate Schmidt did las
EA Rated the Mammoth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NHL 27 is here, and honestly, this is when hockey season starts feeling real. Austin jumped into the early-access version, looked at EA’s default Utah Mammoth roster, and found a team rated as a legit offensive problem: Clayton Keller at 91, Dylan Guenther and Nick Schmaltz at 89, Logan Cooley at 88, and Utah sitting at 91 on offense overall. The weird part is where EA got nervous. Utah’s defense comes in at 84, and the goaltending drops all the way to 78 because Karel Vejmelka is strong but Seb
Logan Cooley’s Summer Scrap Says Everything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Logan Cooley gets pushed into the corner during a three-on-three summer game in Pittsburgh, knocks an opponent’s stick away, loses his helmet and winds up in the middle of a scrap before a teammate jumps in. He is playing for Team Raising Cane’s, which somehow makes the whole thing even better. The clip is funny, but Austin’s point is that Cooley’s competitive edge is already in midseason form. From there, the episode zooms out to Cale Makar’s new $20 million deal and Utah’s cap position. For ab
Connor Hellebuyck Changes Utah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Connor Hellebuyck formally requested a trade, and Austin’s whole argument is simple: Utah has to at least explore it. Not because Karel Vejmelka isn’t good, but because Vejmelka was pushed into 64 appearances last season and a Hellebuyck-Vejmelka tandem would instantly change how seriously the league talks about the Mammoth. The episode walks through the actual thought exercise: move Sebastian Cossa, attach first-round picks, clear cap by moving Kevin Stenlund, and suddenly Utah looks a lot more
Utah Mammoth Bold Predictions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The main question in this episode is pretty simple: what actually happens to the Utah Mammoth this season, not what we hope happens. Austin and Sam make three predictions each, and the biggest thread is obvious — Utah needs a real plan behind Karel Vejmelka after he played 64 games last year, because asking him to carry that kind of load again feels like a good way to wilt by spring. They also get into whether Andre Tourigny survives the season, why Logan Cooley feels like a real All-Star skills
