Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey continues as Jonny Lazarus and former NHL defenceman Colby Cohen bring you another loaded episode with the 2026 NHL Draft just days away in Buffalo. James van Riemsdyk joins the show fresh off a season in Detroit and officially hitting the open market as an unrestricted free agent — and with 17 years in the league across Philly, Toronto, Boston, Columbus, and the Red Wings, JVR has a perspective on player movement, life in Canadian markets, and the growing trend of American players gravitating south of the border that nobody else can quite match. Then the guys shift to the draft floor as two of the most intriguing prospects in this class stop by.

2026 NHL Draft Profile | Zach Olsen, Saskatoon Blades -
From the outside, Zach Olsen's rise through the NHL Draft ranks might have some scratching their heads. The bare stats don't necessarily fly off the page- but as Olsen's coaches, teammates and opponents will tell you, goals and assists don't tell the full story. In fact, in a recent poll by The Athletic's Scott Wheeler, the Saskatoon Blades winger was voted the most underrated player in the 2026 NHL Draft class by his peers. "He's always moving," Blades star and fellow draft-eligible forward Cooper Williams said. "He's big and he's strong, and when you add his speed to it, he's hard to stop in puck battles, and he's just always competing as hard as he can." https://twitter.com/scottcwheeler/status/2067013040051032424 In a sophomore season that saw him switch from centre to right wing, Olsen posted 18 goals (including three game-winners) and 16 assists for 34 points in 57 regular-season games, along with a team-leading 79 penalty minut

The NHL offseason just delivered its biggest shocker yet. Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek break down the blockbuster trade that sends Brady Tkachuk from the Ottawa Senators to the Florida Panthers. Why did Ottawa make the move? What comes next for Steve Staios and the Senators? And does adding Brady alongside Matthew Tkachuk instantly make Florida the team to beat in the Eastern Conference? The guys discuss the assets Ottawa received, whether more moves are coming, and why this trade may only be the first step in a much larger offseason plan for the Senators. They also examine Seattle's acquisition of Mackie Samoskevich, the Edmonton Oilers signing Jason Dickinson to a long-term extension, and what Mike Babcock's arrival could mean for Edmonton heading into a crucial season.

2026 season review Alex Wennberg: Doing the little things right -
When the San Jose Sharks signed Alex Wennberg on the first day of free agency in 2024, the team was hoping the then-29-year-old center might be able to help usher in a new era of Sharks hockey. It honestly could not have gone any better. What the Sharks got out of Wennberg in these last two years has been a leader on and off the ice. The forward has shown young players like Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith and Collin Graf how to play the right way. He and his family have been pillars in the San Jose community, and they have offered a second home to young Shark William Eklund in a sport that can probably feel isolating at times. Wennberg’s addition to the roster has been invaluable, which is likely why General Manager Mike Grier made it a priority to re-sign the forward in the middle of this season. Wennberg’s 2025-26 production Wennberg has rewarded the Sharks with plenty of goals to celebrate, setting a career mark.
