Who’s Buying? Who’s Bluffing? Who’s About to Sell?

The Metropolitan Division trade picture is starting to separate — and not every team’s plan is as obvious as the standings suggest. After breaking down the Atlantic Division in Part 1, we shift our focus to the Metro, where contenders, bubble teams, and potential sellers are all feeling the pressure of the NHL stretch run.

Some teams are circling key upgrades, others are stuck in the gray area, and a few franchises may already be quietly looking toward the next chapter. We break down which Metro clubs are positioned to add for a playoff push, which ones are facing tough calls on the bubble, and which teams could emerge as surprise sellers as deadline pressure ramps up.

From defensive depth and finishing touch needs to roster flexibility and cap realities, every move — or non-move — matters.

This is a temperature check on the Metro — no overreactions, no spoiler picks, just where things stand and where they could go as the deadline conversation heats up.

👀 Who’s actually one piece away?
🧊 Who’s frozen in the middle?
🔥 And who might shock the market?

Who’s firmly in buying mode?
Who’s walking the line?
And which teams are one move away from changing the balance of the division?

We break down where each Atlantic team stands, what they could be targeting, and how aggressive they might actually get as the season hits the final stretch.

CFL free agency opens tomorrow at noon, and this episode of The Analyst Desk sets the stage for what should be a busy opening day across the league.

We break down how teams are positioned heading into Day One, what front offices are prioritizing, and why the negotiation window can be just as important as the signings that become official once the market opens. With no official “Day One signing total” released by the league, we look back at recent free-agency trends to understand how quickly teams tend to move when the clock hits noon.

On this show, we discuss:
• Team strategy and roster-building philosophy
• Why offensive line depth is a major focus this year
• Which teams are best positioned to strike early
• How negotiation-window agreements could shape Day One

This is the calm before the storm — once free agency opens, things move fast.

In this episode, Dan Lane, Adam, and Jacob each take a crack at building the ultimate Team USA and Team Canada rosters.
With no collaboration and no safety net, all three put together their own versions of what they believe the best possible lineups should look like. From star-studded forward groups to shutdown defense pairings and elite goaltending decisions, every choice is debated, questioned, and compared.

Who values skill over size?
Who prioritizes chemistry and two-way play?
And whose roster would actually win on the ice?

We break down each team pick by pick, highlight the biggest differences, call out controversial omissions, and stack the rosters against each other to see which build truly makes the most sense.

This episode is all about hockey IQ, roster construction, and opinion-driven debate — and by the end, you’ll probably have your own take on which version of Team USA and Team Canada is the one that should matter most
