Darren Pang on NHL 27, Bobrovsky & the Leafs' New Look
Nick Alberga Jay Rosehill are joined by former NHL goaltender and longtime NHL analyst Darren Pang for a wide-ranging conversation. First, Pang confirms the rumours—he and John Buccigross will be the new broadcast team for EA Sports NHL 27. Yes, fans can expect plenty of "Holy Jumpin'" in the game. From there, the conversation shifts to Toronto. Pang explains why he believes Darren Raddysh is an underrated addition who fills an important need on the blue line, and why fans shouldn't get too caught up in the contract. He also weighs in on the Leafs' decision to bring in Sergei Bobrovsky, calling it a worthwhile gamble that instantly adds credibility, stability, and presence in goal. Plus, Pang shares why he doesn't believe the veteran netminder looks like a goalie nearing the end of his career. Finally, Pang offers his thoughts on the Maple Leafs hiring John Chayka as general manager. While admitting he was surprised Chayka emerged as the choice after spending several years away from the NHL, Pang believes he deserves a fair opportunity and says a second chance could lead to a different outcome. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Nick Alberga Jay Rosehill react to the Maple Leafs' 2026-27 season opener officially being set.

BS Meter on Dylan Larkin, Jason Robertson and Other Trade and Free-Agency Rumors
From mid-June to July 2, there was considerable activity in the NHL trade market. Notable players such as wingers Brady Tkachuk, Alex Tuch, and Jordan Kyrou; centers Vincent Trocheck and Mason McTavish; goaltender Jacob Markstrom; and defenseman Darnell Nurse wound up on new teams.
Frederik Andersen Nearly Signed With Rival Team Before Landing In Edmonton
Frederik Andersen ended up in Edmonton , but he very nearly landed somewhere else entirely. Per Elliotte Friedman, there was a strong belief that Andersen would sign with the Florida Panthers before they pivoted and acquired Jacob Markstrom instead. That shift opened the door for the Oilers to step in and secure the veteran goaltender on a one-year, incentive-laden deal. How Edmonton Landed Him The Panthers entered the offseason with a big need in net. Sergei Bobrovsky was heading toward free agency, and Florida needed a proven starter, with Andersen reportedly the expected target. Instead, the Panthers swung a trade with the New Jersey Devils for Markstrom and also acquired Akira Schmid from Vegas, filling their crease through other means. THE GREAT DANE 🇩🇰 The #Oilers have signed goaltender Frederik Andersen to a one-year contract with an AAV of $2.8 million. pic.twitter.com/UR5lbK2sLw — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) July 2, 2026 That left Andersen on the market, and Edmonton pounced. The Oilers signed the 36-year-old to a one-year contract with an average annual value of $2.8 million, structured with just a $1 million salary and $1.8 million in performance bonuses tied to games played and playoff success. For Edmonton The signing addresses a problem that has plagued the Oilers throughout the Connor McDavid era. Andersen is potentially the best goaltender the team has had during McDavid's time in Edmonton, and there is a sense he will be given the starting job to open the 2026-27 season. He is coming off a brilliant playoff run in which he went 13-2 with a 1.89 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage, anchoring Carolina to the Stanley Cup Final before a knee injury gave way to Brandon Bussi, who closed out the championship. There is also familiarity at play. Andersen previously played with Oilers winger Zach Hyman in Toronto, and new Edmonton head coach Mike Babcock and assistant D.J. Smith were both behind the bench during Andersen's time with the Maple Leafs. He joins a goaltending group that also includes Tristan Jarry and the recently acquired Devon Levi, giving Edmonton its deepest crease competition in years. Had the Panthers not pivoted to Markstrom, the Oilers might still be searching.
