Checking the news Thursday morning, I saw that the Carolina Hurricanes signed defenceman Oliver Kylington to a professional tryout (as well as forward Givani Smith). Kylington played just 19 games between Colorado and Anaheim last season, totaling five points. He sustained an upper-body injury at the end of November and did not return until early [...]
In Tuesday’s Ramblings, I started talking about my personal projections. I have written several Ramblings over the summer about doing season-long projections, and now we are going to finally talk about the (mostly) finished product.

With Gabriel Landeskog, Martin Necas, Valeri Nichushkin, and Artturi Lehkonen around, the top four winger spots are spoken for and there’s [...]
