Part One of our NHL stretch-run breakdown starts in the Atlantic Division.
With the trade deadline and playoff race heating up, teams are being forced to choose: push the chips in, stay patient, or make smart, calculated tweaks.

From contenders looking to add the final piece, to bubble teams weighing short-term gains against long-term plans, the Atlantic is full of tough decisions that could shape the rest of the season.

Who’s firmly in buying mode?
Who’s walking the line?
And which teams are one move away from changing the balance of the division?

We break down where each Atlantic team stands, what they could be targeting, and how aggressive they might actually get as the season hits the final stretch.

Part One: Atlantic Division
More divisions coming next.

CFL free agency opens tomorrow at noon, and this episode of The Analyst Desk sets the stage for what should be a busy opening day across the league.

We break down how teams are positioned heading into Day One, what front offices are prioritizing, and why the negotiation window can be just as important as the signings that become official once the market opens. With no official “Day One signing total” released by the league, we look back at recent free-agency trends to understand how quickly teams tend to move when the clock hits noon.

On this show, we discuss:
• Team strategy and roster-building philosophy
• Why offensive line depth is a major focus this year
• Which teams are best positioned to strike early
• How negotiation-window agreements could shape Day One

This is the calm before the storm — once free agency opens, things move fast.
