Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dimitra Filipovich.

And joining me here in studio to close out the week is my good buddy, Harmon Dyle.

Harmon, what's going on, man?

I'm excited, man. Big trade. Last night, I love trade season.

A lot going around the league. So it's going to be fun to talk about it all.

Yeah, our plans changed. I knew you were coming in today, of course. We were going to talk about the salary cap in the league,

how that's going to affect future star contracts.

We're still going to hopefully get to that,

especially with today's news about the CBAs or the cap ceiling spike

to come over the next three years.

I want to talk a little about the Canucks as well, of course, as you cover them on a day-to-day basis for the athletic.

But we're going to start with breaking down Thursday evenings trade between the flames and the flyers.

If you somehow missed it, the flames got Joel Farabia and Morgan Frost.

The flyers got a 2025 second, a 2028th, 7th, Jacob Peltier and Andrei Kuzmenko. Now, for the purposes of the rest of this season, I think it's fair to say that the flame side of this trade is the one of more intrigue to us, considering they're getting

the two players here.

Let's break it down from their end, because they've played exactly 50 games so far.

They're sitting 13th on the league in point percentage.

They're one point ahead of the Canucks for the second wildcard spot in the west.

They're all of a sudden only one point behind L.A. as well for third in the Pacific,

LA does have a game in hand.

And they're also only three points behind the aves with two fewer games played than them.
