The St. Louis Blues have acquired forward Jakub Vrana from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Dylan McLaughlin and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025. The Blues receive: Vrana, a potential top-6 winger who has scored at between 0.7-0.75 PTS/GP over his previous three seasons. More recently, Vrana had been sidelined by shoulder [...]
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 [...]
We’ve gotten so used to boring trade deadlines, so at least you can say this season has been a fun deadline with all the deals that started to flow in last weekend. Although the big names like Patrick Kane, Timo Meier, and Jakob Chychrun have all been moved, I wonder if today will have a [...]
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, [...]
There was no shortage of trades over the last couple of days and the Dobber Hockey team has you covered. We have a special section just for trade/signing analysis so head on over there to read up on what myself, Alex, Ian, and Dobber have to say about the trades of Patrick Kane, Filip Hronek, [...]
