I'm Ryan Lambert from Elite Prospects.

I am Sean McNeer from The Athletic.

And folks, just last week, we were saying, look, not a lot happens this time a year.

We're going to use most of the next week's episode to talk about all the snubs and flubs

from the Four Nations roster picks and all that.

We don't have to do that anymore.

We're going to shove that in at the end.

We're going to go, oh, you can't believe they left off Cole Coffield or whatever.

And everybody will cheer.

They'll say we did a great job.

We nailed it.

We had multiple trades.

We had a market-defining contract extension.

We had a coaching change.

We had a bit of a general manager whining session, you might say.

We had a player basically go out for the entire regular season,

didn't end up making it due to the injury.

But let's start off, I think, with the most interesting team going right now for a whole bunch of different reasons.
