Welcome to the Hockey PDO Cast. My name is Dimitri Filipovic, and joining me is my good buddy Shayna Goldman. Shayna, what's going on?

I'm excited to have you on. We're into the Final Four. Um, we got Avs/Golden Knights, game one on Wednesday night. Habs/Hurricanes is starting on Thursday. And I wanted to have you on 'cause I know you've been very busy at The Athletic recently. You're writing about some of these young players who are breaking out and having glow-ups in the postseason, and then what it's gonna look like for their next contracts, and then the trickle-down effect that's gonna have on their teams in terms of how they approach other personnel moves this summer. And so I thought you and I could kinda go through some of those names, some of the young players, even if they're not necessarily up for new deals, that have broken out or have just gotten more appreciation nationally and league-wide because they're playing on this biggest stage all of a sudden now in the postseason, and kinda talk our way through, um, all that good stuff. So I gave you a little bit of homework in terms of putting together a list of guys that hit the bill here. I've got my own list. I'm sure there's gonna be a ton of overlap, especially- Yeah ... at the top with some, uh, some mutual personal favorites of ours. But, uh, I'll give you the floor here as a guest, uh, to start us off.
