TEAM PROSPECT STRENGTH (JULY 2026 - POST DRAFT)

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@FlyersChirp

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

I think he'd be a great Flame. It's time.

[NBC Sports Philadelphia @NBCSPhilly]

There appeared to be a heated moment on the Flyers bench involving Matvei Michkov.

[Connor Ewing @ConnorMEwing]

So what are the chances someone suggested this Dana White and Trump pulled a Four Seasons Total Landscaping?

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@BenHubbb Hes doing real nice too. 4th ov... a bit more expected.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

I haven't updated the model yet but I was just starting poke around and Axel Elofsson (4th round pick of the Avs in 2026) has started off the season with 19 assists in 18 games in Allsvenskan (wildly underrated Euro league).

He's putting up a Lane Hutson D+1 equivalent pace (once normalized by league). Could be a serious gem for the Avs here.

@RyanNPike How does Michkov slot in there, Pike! Find something for me.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

Fishsticks always hits just right in jersey form.

[New York Islanders @NYIslanders]

Hometown Remix in action.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

Yeah that makes sense. Probably pretty fair deal.

[Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun]

Seattle trades Shayne Wright to Nashville for Matthew Wood.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@agentofascent He drifts back and forth over the line. Right at the cut off.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

Brandt Clarke becomes the 5th star from the 2021 draft, after Dylan Guenther, Wyatt Johnston, Luke Hughes and Owen Power.

I think he's just getting started!

He was ranked #1 on the 2021 HP Top 32.

Team USA realizing they accidentally added Kucherov to the group chat

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@thelocalist that's wild.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

Small market Milwaukee winning an NBA Championship and World Series (pending) in the last 5 years... awesome stuff.

Related... always thought Milwaukee would make a great hockey market but never hear them as a potential expansion area.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@JMZygmunt11 That's interesting. Thanks!

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@JMZygmunt11 Yeah that's fair. It's a small area... but hockey would slap big time there!

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@yummy_baozi Can't be long now

If I were a 20 yo who just scored a goal in the NHL and there was a popular, fun kids dance that had a similar name as my nickname... id be rocking that dance every time I scored... signature move.

[Robert Munnich @Robert_Munnich]

"I hate it."

Justin Williams was not a fan of Matvei Gridin doing the griddy after his second goal of the game.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@closfeliciano Ah gotcha

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

@closfeliciano Am I stick?

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

Gridin has a missile of a wrister. Blink and you've missed it.

[Calgary Flames @NHLFlames]

Bro hit the Griddy on them 😭😭
