Vally's View: Best Fit for Hellebuyck + Leafs' Second Line Numbers

October 6, 2026·49 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

CEO of Clear Sight Analytics and former NHL goaltender Steve Valiquette (4:04) returns to Real Kyper and Bourne to chat about Connor Hellebuyck's trade request and sitting out in the first few games for the Winnipeg Jets, which team he would fit the best on, if Edmonton Oilers have improved on their defensive end and in net, why the numbers don't look good to start the year for the Maple Leafs' second line of Gavin McKenna, John Tavares, and William Nylander, if Jacob Markström can bounce back against the Florida Panthers, and the volatility in Sergei Bobrovsky's game. Then, it's the return of Grill Marks, where Vally asks the panel who is the oldest, tallest, and the heaviest goaltenders this season. Finally, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee discuss embellishments in hockey and Macklin Celebrini's late scratch with a lower body injury. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
