- [Monday FTB: The Toronto Marlies are finals bound!](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/monday-ftb-the-toronto-marlies-are-finals-bound.md) - Once again, the Toronto Marlies are the only ones that can win.
- [2026 NHL Draft Profile: Mathis Preston](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2026-nhl-draft-profile-mathis-preston.md) - Preston is a highly skilled winger whose skill can seem like magic, but he's become viewed as a big gamble and his rankings have tumbled as a result.
- [2026 NHL Draft Profile: Ryder Cali](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2026-nhl-draft-profile-ryder-cali.md) - He's been my favourite prospect all year and it seems everyone's caught on to his potential and will probably take him out of Toronto's range so nobody talk to me I'm extremely upset.

- [2026 NHL Draft Profile: Chase Reid](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2026-nhl-draft-profile-chase-reid.md) - The biggest pure upside defenseman in this year's draft, at worst he will likely be a high-level glass cannon offense generator and at best has good defense on top of it.
- [Thursday's FTB: The Penguins even up the series with the Marlies](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/thurdays-ftb-the-penguins-tie-the-series.md) - It's now a best-of-three.
