Utah Mammoth Lose Heartbreaker to Panthers: Time for a ‘Blockbuster’ Trade?

Utah Mammoth Lose Heartbreaker to Panthers: Time for a ‘Blockbuster’ Trade?
<p>Dylan Guenther’s breakout moment – two filthy breakaway goals, added dekes, and a little bit of snarl that Utah desperately needs.</p><p>Logan Cooley’s scary injury – his leg wrapping around the post, what “out indefinitely” really means, and why his absence changes everything down the middle.Mammoth in the standings – Utah slipping just outside the wild card, games in hand vs the Oilers and Blackhawks, and why they’re in “tread water or drown” mode.</p><p>The ‘Blockbuster’ trade idea – not a massive star-for-star deal, but an old-school rental: a veteran center on an expiring deal from a bottom-feeder who can stabilize this lineup now and walk in the summer if needed. Names like Boone Jenner, Phillip Danault, Ryan O’Reilly, and Nazem Kadri all come up as examples of the type of player Utah should be hunting.</p><p>Plus:Why Utah has to stop getting pushed around by heavy teams and start playing 60 honest minutes, not 59.A sneak peek at the Big Tusk Energy premium hat pre-sale, launching for Patreon members first before going public.How to enter the $250 jewelry gift card giveaway with Payne Anthony Creative Jewelers and Jonathan’s Jewelry, and how to get $100 off just for mentioning SLC Puck.Hit play for a full breakdown of the Panthers game, Utah’s physical identity crisis, and why now might be the perfect time for a smart, short-term rental trade to keep the Mammoth in the hunt.👉 Subscribe, comment your dream Mammoth trade target, and don’t forget to jump on the BTE hat pre-sale if you want the first run.CONNECT WITH SLC PUCK!🛍️ Merch ➡️ www.bigtuskenergy.com📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/slcpuck🎥TikTok ➡️ https://tiktok.com/@slcpuck</p><p>✳️ Spotify ➡️</p><p>🐦 Twitter ➡️ https://x.com/slcpuck👍 Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/slcpuck💻KSL UHC Coverage ➡️ https://www.ksl.com/sports/utah-hockey-club☕️Buy Me A Coffee (Support the show!) https://buymeacoffee.com/slcpuck</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
