People are awesome – and so was this Thursday edition of The Sheet. Jeff Marek opens with a viral moment featuring Marty St. Louis running the Bell Centre stairs, before diving into a jam-packed NHL slate headlined by the Chicago Blackhawks and Buffalo Sabres both dropping eight spots on their opponents. Marek breaks down Brady Tkachuk’s injury and what an eight-week absence means for the #GoSensGo, plus the Sabres’ bounce-back win and Jack Quinn’s resurgence.
Jeff is then joined by Mark Lazerus of The Athletic to discuss Chicago’s red-hot start, Frank Nazar’s show-stopping celly, and how Connor Bedard and Nazar are shaping the future of the #Blackhawks. They dig into Jeff Blashill’s impact behind the bench, Spencer Knight’s emergence, and how Chicago’s rebuild has quietly turned into must-watch hockey.
Later, former NHL agent Anton Thun joins to dissect the recent wave of long-term contracts, why players like Connor McDavid, Kirill Kaprizov, and Lane Hutson are changing the salary-cap landscape, and what the new CBA means for future megadeals. It’s an episode loaded with insider insight, humor, and perspective from across the hockey world.

Stereotypical greedy agent who thinks all that matters is getting the max when we are talking about millions and million. Yes players who take less so they can have a chance at being on a championship team are smart. Agent is blinded by greed. Doesn’t matter how great a GM is, obviously if all your players are just going for the most money , you aren’t going to have as good a chance at being a Cup contender
Seth Jones was terrible as a hawk. Low effort, couldn’t do anything but make a half decent pass. I know we were bad, but he was worse.
The agent does not have to go to the rink night after night and play on a lesser team if they take a max deal. They get their player signed and cash the check. So money becomes the only way they can judge happiness.
Bedard is cancer, born July 17. Loyalty is immense among those who fall under that sign.
The hawks prospect pool is ridiculous. Furthermore most the prospects are off to great starts.
You could make the case that Hockey is the only SANE sport in regards to salaries.
20 million for a kid that never played a single pro game?
There is a definite “love of the game” aspect with many players, and it’s a FACT that paying one player a huge amount leaves less for the rest of the team, hurting the team’s competitiveness. This is a FACT.
All NHL players make a good living, does the system favor increasing owners profits? Of course! I never got rich working for someone else, but they did, it’s kinda how’s that works.
The ultimate goal for most players is the cup, star players should retire with many millions of dollars, how many would sacrifice a million or so but come away with a cup? I would say a lot of them.
The Blackhawks are going to be a juggernaut in a 4-5 years
10:17 ITS LUCAS RAYMOND NOT MASON RAYMOND cmon now jeffy
Thun seems to forget NFL players like Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and others, who signed for less than 'market value' for their own reasons…
You should see Jared Bednar's biceps, Jeff
If you're talking dumb hockey terms, there's no worse one than "x plays a factor in…"
No! It's "is a factor" or "plays a role" not "plays a factor!"
Wherr does Oliver Moore end up?
