The first two weeks of the buy/sell series are complete (here & here) and there are some interesting teams heading in different directions to cover today. One team with a few aging stars and even more questions, and another without a player over the age of 32, but even more questions. Let’s get back to [...]
It was 25 years ago yesterday that Patrick Roy was traded to the Colorado Avalanche, a trade that altered the next two decades of their respective franchises, for better (Colorado) or worse (Montreal). I don’t remember a lot about pro sports from my childhood, but I do remember my dad telling me my favourite player [...]
It still feels strange that there’s cold weather yet no NHL hockey being played.

As a reminder, if [...]

I know I originally said this series would run over three articles, but I got a little carried away and ended up [...]
We have reached December without an agreement between the players and owners. Rather, it should be said that an agreement was reached but, just months after this agreement, the owners are trying to renege on it. (I really wish every news item was framed this way; there was an agreement in place, one agreed to [...]
There have been a few GMs that have given out no-movement clauses (NMC), no-trade clauses (NTC) or modified no-trade clauses (M-NTC) like candy over the past two decades. An NMC protects the player from being traded or sent to the minors while the clause in effect, while an NTC protects a player from being traded [...]
One of my favourite articles to write each year is to look at players who could potentially hit 70 points for the first time. Usually, about a third of all players reaching 70 points are hitting that mark for the first time. With COVID-19 cutting last season short, there weren’t as many 70-point players as [...]
