The Mason McTavish wait is over, as the Ducks have agreed to a six-year contract worth $7 million per season with the 22-year-old forward. McTavish will finally report to the Ducks’ camp and shouldn’t miss any games, although he may need more time than normal to get up to speed. Anaheim has three more preseason [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. Last week in Part 1, we looked at names like Zayne Parekh, Easton Cowan, Carter Yakemchuk, Ilya Protas, and Carson Rehkopf — all players entering the AHL who could make a [...]
Friday’s news on Aleksander Barkov confirmed the worst, as the Panthers captain underwent surgery on both the ACL and MCL on his right knee.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Rankings have been updated to reflect the latest free agent signings and other moves.
