The first buyout of the season took place on Friday, and it was a big one! Just as the buyout window opened, the Canucks decided to part ways with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and his albatross contract. Ekman-Larsson had four more years with an $8.25 million cap hit per season. I didn’t think the Canucks would buy [...]
Welcome to our final skater installment of the Most Valuable series. We will return to the playoff results next week. We have completed reviews for centers, and right and left wingers, and today we will move to defensemen.

Jack Eichel still with zero post-season series losses, Mark Stone returning from his multiple back surgeries, the goalie carousel culminating with Adin Hill padding his [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll continue our discussion of how certain players performed in their first season with a new team. This is the second of three parts. If there’s a big name you don’t see here, we might have covered them last week, or we might discuss them next week. Johnny Gaudreau Gaudreau’s [...]
