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

Welcome to the Hockey PEDO cast. My name's Dmitra Filipovich, And joining me is my good buddy, John Mattis. John, what's going on, man? Oh, a lot. It's July 1st. It's 626 Eastern time. We've got a lot to unpack here.

We do. And you know it's a landmark event on the NHL calendar when the three-man band is back together.

Still don't have an official name for these shows, but we do them every trade headline, every July 1st.

And we're going to do it again because it's incredibly fun and a great way to capture all of our thoughts on what just transpire.

It's also joining us, the third member of the group, our good pal, Sean Shapiro.

Sean, what's going, buddy?

I'm just thinking about which Canadian or American player we're going to do a sign of

Finnish nationality today because every single time we do a show, we tend to find a way

So I'm curious who's getting a new passport by the end of this show today. So it's always fun. Yeah, we'll see where it goes.

Someone's going to, someone's going to wind up being the big winner or loser, depending on your

perspective from today's show. Last time, or a couple shows ago, it was the newspaper industry

as a whole. Last time, it was Jake Wallman. We always drag someone in out of left field. So we'll see. We've got about

a hundred minutes or so here coming up to figure out who that's going to be. So the plan for today

or tonight is we're going to sort through the first day of the free agent frenzy. Now, anyone

following those, most of the big business in the league got conducted the day prior with a lot of

guys extending or staying with their current teams. but we're going to loop that all into the conversation and break that all down today.

I thought it would be more fun to rather than the typical winners or losers type of format

that you're going to see everywhere else.

We're going to do most interesting teams instead that caught our eyes.

And that can be based on what they did, what they didn't, if they kind of sat out the action,
