Rangers' Young Defenseman Could Move To The Trade Block

The New York Rangers are in an interesting position where they should still be at the top of the standings with the talent on their team, but have once again struggled and are 5-5-2 on the season. An injury to Vincent Trocheck hasn't helped them, but this is a team that may need to go through a bit of a transformation to get back to the top of the mountain. To this point, David Pagnotta said, "Braden Schneider is another guy that a lot of teams were poking around on. He's an RFA next summer, a...

Martin Necas is the latest pending UFA to sign on the dotted line, re-upping on an eight-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche . He joins an ever-growing list of big names dropping off the board for free agency next summer.

With that, let's have a look at the Top 5 remaining pe...

Bruins Looking To Emulate Capitals' Turnaround

The Boston Bruins have been inching towards a collapse like the one they had last season for years. The retirement of key veterans who were there for a long time and the eventual trade of Brad Marchand solidified it. There was a little more hope coming into this season with a healthy team, but the lineup still looked weak up front. The Bruins started 3-0-0 and confidence built, but that quickly fell right off and the team sits at 6-7-0, out of a playoff spot early. That can quickly change, but...

3 Predators' Trade Candidates as Struggles Continue in Nashville

The Nashville Predators have been trying to get things back on track for a couple of seasons now, and after GM Barry Trotz spent a ton of money two summers ago, it appears he's going to have to move in another direction. The Preds have started the new season 4-6-2, they're among the league's worst with just 29 goals scored, and they have plenty of expensive contracts on the books that Trotz and company are going to need to find new homes for. Here's three trade candidates for the Predators, as...

Laval vs. Rochester recap & highlights: David Reinbacher’s season debut ends in a close loss

Coming off a Wednesday night win, the Laval Rocket rolled into a Friday match with the Rochester Americans with not only a renewed sense of confidence, but also a renewed lineup as well. The defence received a much-needed boost with not only Marc Del Gaizo returning from the NHL, but both David Reinbacher and William Trudeau being healthy after being injured in the pre-season. While Trudeau did not suit up after clearing waivers, Reinbacher was thrown right into the fray alongside Adam Engströ...

The Other Value of Compelling Players, Ratings, Series Tied, and Other Cubs Bullets

How about Connor Bedard, eh ? I’m not a hockey guy, but he is the kind of rising talent that could get me glancing over at the Blackhawks more and more. … which makes me think about the Cubs, and about the nature of making non-fans into casual fans, and casual fans into hardcore fans. I think it’s probable that having really interesting, exciting players or storylines is what can bring folks into the fold if they otherwise paid very little attention to the team or the sport. But it’s wi...

Bruins Have Bigger Plans For Zacha Than A Trade Deadline Move

The Boston Bruins aren't exactly playing a lot better than last season, but they are .500 on the season and Pavel Zacha, a previously thought to be trade candidate, is having a big bounce-back offensively. The 28-year-old, in the third year of a four-year, $4.75 million AAV deal, already has two goals and 12 points in 14 games as the second line center. Zacha plays the third-most among forwards on the Bruins and logs a lot of minutes on the power play and penalty kill. He is also in his prime,...

The 2025-26 Philadelphia Flyers as Halloween movies

It’s Halloween and you know what that means – horror movies! I thought it would be fun to assign a horror or Halloween movie to each Flyer. Well, most of the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s a lot to pick stuff for guys like Rodrigo Abols and Noah Juulsen!  Rick Tocchet – The Faculty The 1998 sci-fi horror flick The Faculty is all about defying authority figures, as a group of high school students see their teachers replaced by aliens. Now I am not remotely accusing Rick Tocchet and his coh...
