Goalies can be so tough to manage and predict year to year. It has gotten to the point that I will not invest heavily in a goaltender, because the ones like Andrei Vasilevskiy and Igor Shesterkin are too expensive to acquire, and anyone after that is too inconsistent to trust, be it Connor Hellebuyck, Robin [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll take a look at how Claude Giroux’s arrival affects the landscape in Ottawa. Last season was a tale of two cities for Claude Giroux. Although the 34-year-old forward had a solid showing overall with 65 points in 75 games, there was a stark contrast between his performance with the [...]

It remains to be seen where Matthew Tkachuk slots in to the Florida Panthers lineup, but I think it’s safe to say his offensive numbers are going to take somewhat of a hit.
