We are officially one day away from the beginning of a brand new NHL season, and with that comes a lot of questions. On the first episode of The Athletic Hockey Show this season, the guys attempt to answer a bunch of those questions. How will the Panthers fare without their captain, Sasha Barkov? Will Sidney Crosby finish this season as a Penguin? Will Connor McDavid actually reach free agency? And of course, which team is the favorite to win the Stanley Cup? Find out the answers to all of those questions and more on today’s show.

NHL division previews conclude with the Pacific. Are the Vegas Golden Knights the team to beat? Can Connor McDavid get the Oilers over the hump? Did the Kings do enough in the offseason?

Hailey, Jesse and Sean are joined by The Athletic’s team of beat writers to preview it all.
