NHL Opening Night and McDavid’s New Deal ft. Tyson Barrie & Greg Wyshynski | The Sheet

Connor McDavid’s shocking 2-year, $12.5M extension continues to send shockwaves through the NHL — and The Sheet is here to break it all down. Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski dissect what McDavid’s “discount deal” means for Edmonton’s Cup window, Leon Draisaitl’s future, and the 2028 free agent class that could reshape hockey.

They’re also joined by recently retired NHL defenseman Tyson Barrie, who reflects on playing with superstars like McDavid, Auston Matthews, and Nathan MacKinnon, what separates those generational talents, and his new ventures off the ice — including his “Chilly Ones” beer brand and stepping into broadcasting with the Vancouver Canucks. Barrie also weighs in on Connor’s decision, locker-room reactions to team-friendly contracts, and shares stories about leadership, rivalries, and Gabriel Landeskog’s inspiring comeback.

Plus: a deep dive into the Battle of Florida chaos between the Panthers and Lightning, playoff predictions, and how this all ties into opening night across the NHL
