A new week on The Sheet begins with Jeff Marek welcoming Matthew Barnaby for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense look at everything happening across the NHL. The spotlight starts in Pittsburgh, where Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas is drawing major praise for rebuilding on the fly while keeping the Pens competitive, sparking real GM of the Year chatter. The guys debate what Dubas should do at the trade deadline, how Evgeni Malkin’s future factors in, and why second-chance players are thriving in Pittsburgh.

The conversation shifts to Buffalo, where the Buffalo Sabres are no longer a “cute streak” story but a legitimate contender pushing toward ending their long playoff drought. Barnaby explains why players always know when change is coming, how coaching and management shifts unlocked this roster, and why the Alex Tuch contract situation could define Buffalo’s deadline strategy.

Plus, thoughts on the Anaheim Ducks riding another heater, Evan Bouchard’s massive weekend, Team Canada blue-line debates, Evander Kane trade speculation fueled by social media breadcrumbs, and the overblown reaction to William Nylander’s viral moment in Toronto. All that, listener questions, and classic Sheet humor—don’t miss it.
