With the Chicago Blackhawks looking ahead to a rebuild, there were some tough choices they would have to make this offseason. One name that kept cropping up was that of star scoring winger Alex DeBrincat, and the rumoured trade came to fruition a couple hours before the Draft: https://twitter.com/NHLBlackhawks/status/1545140566090031105 Ottawa was a team that had [...]
It was all but certain that New York Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev would be traded this offseason. Starter Igor Shesterkin has cemented himself as one of, if not the, top goalie in the world.

In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss predictions for Thursday’s NHL entry draft, as well as the fantasy implications of such predictions. Montreal’s First Overall Pick On Monday, Habs GM Kent Hughes told the media that Shane Wright, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Logan Cooley all remain potential candidates for the team’s first overall pick.
