Saturday’s game was a well-fought battle between two up-and-coming SEC dark horses. But it was also a picture of clinical, unexciting football, especially on Mizzou’s side of […]

The Vancouver Canucks want a center, but not at the cost rivals keep asking for. Multiple teams have pushed for the 2026 first-round pick , and Vancouver is resisting. The next draft is a strong one; the club does not know where that pick will land, and recent history says to be patient. They kept the selection that became Braeden Cootes instead of flipping it, and early returns have validated that bet. Until an offer checks every box, that first stays put.
