35. Are we broke?

The NHL playoffs are chaos, passion, and heartbreak — but what if Utah’s next star player could turn the tide? What if the star power we’re dreaming of is closer than we think? This episode explodes the myth of “being one player away.” Leroy and Jahn dive deep into the wild world of trades, contracts, and the razor-thin line between hope and heartbreak. They reveal why star talent like Austin Matthews might be the game-changer Utah needs — and why it might be more realistic than you think. You'll discover: How current NHL contracts like Matthews’ $53 million deal shape the league's future — and Utah’s potential. The real cost of “star players”: risks, rewards, and what it takes to build a dynasty. Why the Utah Mammoth’s growth isn’t just about youth — it’s about bold moves, the market, and seizing the moment. The untapped power of patience versus jumping all-in — and how the greatest teams have played the long game. Surprising connections: Matthews, Keller, Gunther, and the Utah pipeline that could make all this happen. Miss out on this, and you risk missing the opportunity to dream big — to turn Utah into a hockey powerhouse. In a state starving for victory, what if the next chapter is just a star away? This isn’t just sports talk. It’s about daring to believe, risk, and stake your claim in the game’s biggest moments. Perfect for anyone tired of the status quo, hungry for growth, and ready to challenge the limits. Whether you’re a hardcore fan, a believer in bold moves, or just someone craving inspiration — this episode calls you to think bigger. The future of Utah hockey is now — are you in? Listen and get fired up — because the game isn’t over yet. @SlapshotUtah @LeroySLC @iminthe801 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
