In this episode, we break down which NHL playoff contenders might fall short and which non-playoff teams still have a shot at making it by season's end. We also explore how the NHL's decision to implement a hard salary cap 20 years ago revolutionized the league and why you donโt need perfect draft picks to win a championship.
