So are the players going to wear Fanatics? Or is it only the merch that's going to be Fanatics? If it is then I would find it hard to believe fans would pay for something that's a different brand altogether.

Yeah I think they mean they will be the official STORE you can buy Adidas (or whatever) jerseys from. NFL does the same thing with the same company.
Because if the store bought jerseys are store brand replicas.. That is so bush league I can't imagine they'd consider it. It would be humiliating.

Fanatics is taking over as the league’s on-ice jersey provider beginning with the 2024-25 season, replacing Adidas, which has made them since 2017.

Absolutely garbage brand, think your average lower-league bantam U18 league is going to have better jerseys than pro NHL players.

I was just thinking the coaching change seems to have helped him the most. Or maybe it was getting rid of Bo

JT Miller was back checking like crazy last night. Good to see that Tocchet is getting him to buy in as it makes him a more complete player.

I’ve talked a lot of smack about JT but he seems to be behaving under Tocchet’s watch. Let’s see if he can keep his cool a little better moving forward.

As I’ve said before An 8 million dollar player is like a 75 point player in this league
If JT can continue to be a PPG player, he’s actually decent value for what he brings

He must have really hated Boudreau, he's not even the same player as earlier this season

Boudreau is an offensive guy, so I wonder if his direction to the scoring guys was to not waste energy trying to backcheck. Under Boudreau, Miller was camping a lot. Didn't see that under Green. I think Boudreau gave players a lot of freedom what they did on the ice, hence front office's desire for structure.

How does that explain how Miller played like absolute sh!t for the first 3/4 of the season this year though?
Like eye test wise, it's not even the same player, complete night and day.
