Following the trade of Shayne Gostisbehere, it seemed as if Philadelphia was clearing cap space to make another splash on the back-end. This offseason is moving so fast that it’s easy to forget that they’ve already picked up Ryan Ellis from Nashville. Well, they did indeed add another defenceman, and it came way out of [...]
One of the big sagas of the summer will be where Jack Eichel ends up. It seems clear at this point that the fracture between the player and team is just too severe to mend. Where he ends up and what the trade looks like is down the line, and it seems we may be [...]
“The desert around their walls is called the Garden of Bones. Every time the Qartheen shut their gates, the garden grows.” I thought of that quote from the second season of the Game of Thrones when I found out that Shayne Gostisbehere had been traded to Arizona. Here are the particulars: https://twitter.com/CraigSMorgan/status/1418265130433798150 The Flyers paid [...]
There are always some trades that come out of left field and take the hockey world by surprise. This trade would certainly qualify, as Alex Nedeljkovic, the goalie who looked like the future in Carolina, was shipped off to Detroit. The return was as follows: https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1418261341928935427 My initial reaction was just shock. Nedeljkovic is a [...]
The Seattle Kraken officially rounded out their roster, in most regards, with the Expansion Draft on Wednesday night. The thing is, a lot of the picks were leaked all throughout the day on Twitter. Thanks to Frank Seravalli, formerly of TSN and now of DFO who seems to have a pretty good source inside Seattle, [...]
Well, it was quite the weekend in the NHL. We had a lot of significant trades, some weird expansion protection lists, some significant injury news, and whatever else popped up. Those out enjoying their double-vax summer may have missed some important news; all our Ramblings can be found right here. Dobber and Ian had the [...]
It appears as though Gabriel Landeskog’s run with Colorado is coming to an end. The UFA turns 29 in November but this isn’t just any UFA. This is their captain, a guy who was drafted by them second overall 10 years ago. He has 171 points in his last 181 games, plays a tough two-way [...]
There was a movie about 25 years ago called ‘White Squall’ and though I can’t remember quite what it’s about – something about teenagers sailing; maybe some sort of navy camp? – I do remember one particularly harrowing sequence. Earlier in the movie, one of the teenagers has a nightmare he can’t wake from. When [...]
As the resident Habs fan, I feel like I should weigh in on the Habs’s Cup run. First, we need to give props to Carey Price. All the prods aside, this guy had a .931 save percentage through the first three rounds, second behind only Andrei Vasilevskiy. Without Price playing out of his mind for [...]
This usually isn’t the spot for most trade rumours because most trade rumours are exactly that, just rumours. Sometimes, a respected writer with years of experience states something that they know to basically be fact, and we can’t ignore it. We had heard some rumblings this offseason, but it appears that Vladimir Tarasenko has asked [...]
