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

Welcome to the HockeyPedocast. My name is D Dimitra Filipovich and joining me is my good buddy Chris

Meany. Chris, what's going on, man? What's going on, Dimitri? Always a pleasure, man, to join you and talk to some hockey.

We're getting to crunch time in real NHL and fantasy hockey as well. So looking forward to this chat, man. Hopefully we can help some people out. Well, this is going to be really fun. You're right. It's a, it's a key point in the NHL season.

ahead of time and and maybe avoid paying full freight for them when everyone else jumps on board.

So I'll give you the floor here.

We're just going to go back and forth like we usually do.

We usually wind up rattling off a bunch of names, really getting into it and getting into

the weeds with with our situations where we're trying to target. So what's the first one on your list and kind of what

are you most intrigued by? Well, I'm going to start strong here with arguably the best goal

score we've ever seen of all time. And maybe the window is closed over the past week or so. But
