Cooley and Harley Locked Up ft. Brian Burke & Jonny Lazarus | The Sheet with Jeff Marek

Jeff Marek hosts another jam-packed edition of The Sheet, joined first by Brian Burke to break down everything from the Maple Leafs’ tight win over the Calgary Flames to the latest around the NHL. The two dissect Toronto’s early-season identity shift without Mitch Marner, how Craig Berube is adjusting the lineup, and whether the Leafs are finally showing signs of chemistry. Burke also gives his candid thoughts on Nazem Kadri’s play in Calgary, the Flames’ direction under Craig Conroy, and the delicate balance between “retool” and “rebuild” with a new arena on the horizon. The conversation then turns nostalgic as Jeff and Brian revisit Today in NHL History, swapping classic stories about Jaromir Jagr, the Hartford Whalers, and how front-office dynamics have evolved over the decades.

Then Jonny Lazarus from Morning Cuppa Hockey joins the show to dive into Logan Cooley’s massive eight-year, $80-million extension with the Utah Mammoth, Thomas Harley’s long-term deal in Dallas, and what those signings signal about both franchises’ futures. The pair also touch on Matthew Schaefer’s dominant start on Long Island, the Rangers’ early offensive struggles, Jason Robertson’s next contract, and why Connor Bedard’s play in Chicago continues to climb another level. It’s a full-ice discussion spanning the past, present, and future of the NHL — only on The Sheet with Jeff Marek.
