On Tuesday, Vancouver extended defenceman Filip Hronek for eight years at $7.25M. While that might seem like a big number, as a percentage of the cap in 2024-25, that works out to just over 8%, or a high-end number-2 defenceman. It is still a lofty ask – he needs to perform to levels like Hampus [...]
Last week, San Jose filled their vacant head coaching spot by hiring Ryan Warsofsky. My breakdown of the hiring can be read here. With Will Smith, Macklin Celebrini, William Eklund, Henry Thrun, and a few nice prospects in the cupboard, it sure seems as if the Sharks are trending in the right direction. It will [...]

The San Jose Sharks fired head coach David Quinn a week after their regular season finished. What they expected from him given the roster they have is unclear, but it is clear they wanted to go in a different direction with their bench boss and they have made their choice in former Charlotte Checkers (AHL) [...]

It was a rough first period for a number of players during Game 2 between Florida and Edmonton. Darnell Nurse took a hit early-ish in the period and left the game for stretches at a time (he would miss about 20 minutes of game action but did come back), and then Eetu Luostarainen took a [...]
Florida got off to a quick start in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final as Aleksander Barkov was able to break down the Edmonton forecheck, get up the ice, and two quick passes later resulted in a goal from Carter Verhaeghe. It doesn’t take long for these Panthers to get up the ice and [...]

Columbus introduced their new general manager on Thursday as Don Waddell had a press conference with his new team. Waddell was recently with the Carolina Hurricanes but has moved on for this new challenge.
