NHL stock picks meet a new Ringer era
NHL players we are buying stocks in this season

- 2Matvei Michkov leads a rebound discussion, while Devin Levi represents a riskier long-term bet amid stalled development in Buffalo.
- 3The Bruins’ captaincy uncertainty and What Chaos!’s move to the Ringer frame broader debates about pressure, identity, and leadership.
Don't miss
The hosts debate whether Devin Levi remains a worthwhile long-term investment despite his stalled development in Buffalo.
The brief
What Chaos! opens by announcing its move to the Ringer, then turns to the Bruins’ unresolved captaincy and the pressure Don Sweeney placed on the team.
The hosts survey goalie masks, glittering Sabres jerseys, and Florida’s goaltending dilemma before shifting toward the season’s central question: which players are worth buying early?
Their investment board spans breakout candidates such as JJ Peterka, bounce-back bets including Matvei Michkov, and prospects facing pressure to accelerate rebuilding teams.
Devin Levi becomes the clearest risk-reward case: the hosts still see long-term value, but Buffalo’s stalled development makes the bet difficult to price.
The episode’s larger argument is that opportunity matters as much as talent, whether the subject is a young forward, a goalie, or a team choosing its captain.
