Welcome back to another edition of NHLTR Mock Trade. We've had success over the years getting the majority of trade components correct, but who's counting?
For this segment we'll head to Winnipeg and check in with disgruntled Jets' goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. The suspended Vezina trophy winner is still at home waiting for general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff to pull off a trade. The Jets are being patient with this process and have been mulling over options for months. Recently, the heat has ...

After six straight 20+ goal seasons (averaging 27 per year), Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala had his 2025-26 season cut down by a brutal leg injury suffered during the Olympics. The road to his recovery has been rife with setbacks, but it sounds like he can finally start targeting a return to the Kings lineup. Not around the corner, but at least it's starting to come into focus.
Frank Seravalli writes on Sportsnet.ca that Fiala will be skating again this weekend. Fiala’s recovery has b...
For the Kings to break out of their season-opening rut, the change they need has to come from the top of the lineup. You can disagree with fourth-line decisions or 12/6 versus 11/7 looks. And that’s fine. But ultimately, the 18th man in the lineup on a given night isn’t the reason the Kings have […]

Last season, the Los Angeles Kings once again struck out in the first round in a swift four-game sweep at the hands the Colorado Avalanche. However, that was not the biggest storyline for the team this offseason. Instead, it was the retirement of the team’s captain and two-time Stanley Cup champion center, Anze Kopitar, who […]

I’m a big fan of The Office. There’s a scene in the office with Kevin Malone, where he starts abbreviating everything he says. Simple reasoning. “Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick.” I was thinking about that after post-game media last night. There are a lot of words you could use […]
