The Chicago Blackhawks have traded forward Matthew Highmore to the Vancouver Canucks for forward Adam Gaudette. The Blackhawks get: A young No.4 center who has potential to be a No.3 guy. He hasn’t done much on the power play, though he generally gets just over one minute per game. His production last season was at [...]
The Boston Bruins have traded winger Anders Bjork and a second-round draft pick to the Buffalo Sabres for Taylor Hall and Curtis Lazar.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Jeff Carter from the Los Angeles Kings for a 2022 conditional third-round pick and a 2023 conditional fourth-round pick.

My opinion on what Adam Fox can do continues to rise. Entering the league I felt like he was capped at the high-50s. That’s still great, but it didn’t take me too long to think he could one day get to mid-60s. He has 22 points in his last 17 games and 11 in his [...]
