Welcome back and happy deadline day! I think there’s a chance here that we may all be watching TSN/NHL Network waiting for something to happen because this time around all or most of the larger deals were filed into the league this week. Regardless, if a trade goes down in the NHL, we will be [...]
If the Dallas Stars were a Canadian-based team, or team based in America’s northeast, we might be hearing a lot more about their recent slide. Going back to January 9th, a span of 20 games for Dallas, they have the fewest regulation/overtime wins in the league. In that span, Anaheim has eight, Philadelphia has seven, [...]
After acquiring the big defenceman they had been seeking for a while in Mattias Ekholm, the focus of the Edmonton Oilers turned to filling out the forward roster. The team has had serious problems generating offence whenever Connor McDavid is off the ice and they made a deal with the Arizona Coyotes to help address [...]
After spending 16 seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, goaltender Jonathan Quick has now been drafted twice in the last few days, first going to Columbus (which was written about by Alex at the time), and now he’s back in the Western Conference following a trade to the Vegas Golden Knights: https://twitter.com/DarrenDreger/status/1631365226506354688 The full trade [...]
It is Thursday once again, so let’s find some winning NHL props. The NHL has 10 games on the schedule tonight, meaning there are a ton of options for us to find some winning props. I’ve taken my time to carefully look over every matchup tonight, and I think I’ve found a few props that [...]
When Detroit traded defenceman Filip Hronek to the Vancouver Canucks for a pair of draft picks, including a first-rounder, it appeared another shoe was going to drop. It did not come in the form of Jakob Chychrun (he’s in Ottawa now) or Erik Karlsson (he should be back in Ottawa but I digress), but rather [...]
The frenzy that’s been a trade deadline WEEK isn’t likely to be done a day early - I’ve been following the Dobber hockey authors for their takes on the fantasy implications, and the forum for the hysteria (LOL). Certainly, the Rangers, Devils and Maple Leafs have made big splashes into the pool of available talent, [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Mikael Granlund from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2023 second-round draft pick. The Penguins receive: Granlund, a playmaking assist-heavy forward who can play either center or wing. He should initially be penciled in on the Penguins’ third line but could move up to one of the top [...]
Jakob Chychrun has finally been traded! The Ottawa Senators have acquired defenseman Chychrun from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a conditional first-round pick in 2023, a conditional second-round pick in 2024 and a second-round pick in 2026. The Senators receive: A potential first-pair defenseman who can bring some offense and size (6-2, 220 lbs.) [...]
The Canucks, working towards more of a re-tool than a rebuild, have acquired Filip Hronek (who is currently injured) and a fourth-round pick from Detroit in exchange for first and second round picks. https://twitter.com/DetroitRedWings/status/1631048640671232001 What the Canucks Get: The Canucks get a top-four defenceman on a reasonable contract who can play at both ends of [...]
