Bold Predictions for the 2025-26 NHL Season ft. Shayna Goldman, Jonny Lazarus, Tyler Yaremchuk, and Meghan Chayka

The newest episode of The Sheet on the Daily Faceoff YouTube
channel is our Bold Predictions Special in celebration of FanDuel
Futures Day. Host Jeff Marek is joined by Shayna Goldman (The
Athletic), Jonny Lazarus, Tyler Yaremchuk, and Meghan Chayka as
each guest lays out their boldest, most outrageous predictions
for the 2025-26 NHL season. From shocking Stanley Cup contenders,
surprise Hart Trophy favorites, breakout rookie of the year
candidates, to unexpected playoff storylines, no take is too
wild. The crew debates which stars might dominate, which teams
could fall apart, and which franchises are primed for chaos.
Plus, Jeff and producer Zack react to the boldest Twitter takes
from fans, adding even more spice to the mix. If you love
fearless NHL forecasts, high-energy debate, and hot takes that
push the boundaries, this episode is a must-watch.
