In the most recent Rangers Reacts Survey, we asked folks which of the Rangers’ relievers who have made their major league debut this year you feel most optimistic about going forward. Lefty reliever Robby Ahlstrom, who was summoned earlier this year and has been turned to regularly by manager Skip Schumaker in key late game […]
Former Los Angeles Kings’ captain Anze Kopitar has a big mantle over his fireplace in his house. This is a safe assumption given all those awards he racked up in…
Brendan Gallagher is back where his hockey story began, looking to prove there is still plenty left in the tank after 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. The Vancouver Canucks acquired Gallagher from Montreal in June for future considerations, with the Canadiens retaining 50% of the final year of his $6.5-million contract. Vancouver is…
As the idiom goes, the NHL is a copy-cat league, and it would be wise to surmise some lessons from the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina broke through this summer, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in six games, after spending the better part of a decade as one of the NHL’s most analytically-sound teams….
In July 2022, in the aftermath of a season where he set the single-season National Hockey League assists record for a left wing, Jonathan Huberdeau was traded to the Calgary Flames as part of a blockbuster transaction that sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers. In August 2022, then-Flames general manager Brad Treliving inked Huberdeau…
Some of my favorite sports uniforms are red. This has always been true, and my choices of teams to support have only reinforced that. (A chicken-egg situation?) Other than the Miami Marlins (who did have the snazzy Sugar Kings red jerseys a few years back), the Miami Heat, the New England Patriots (god, I love those red throwbacks ), Liverpool, Barcelona, and MY Florida Panthers all have red(-ish) uniforms. I therefore feel uniquely qualified to contribute a ranking of red jerseys across th...
Over the 2026 offseason, we went through 2026 Draft targets for the Vancouver Canucks at third and 24th overall. They have a nice history of selecting third, as they secured…
The New York Rangers had the worst record in the NHL’s Eastern Conference last year, and that’s completely unacceptable for the Original 6 franchise. Rangers fans saw a team that was a step slow and was regularly beaten on home ice — where they struggled to score goals. General manager Chris Drury has attempted to […] The post Rangers’ glaring roster flaw that must be fixed ahead of 2026-27 NHL season appeared first on ClutchPoints .

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Los Angeles Kings could enter the season without a captain as Adrian Kempe emerges as an early favorite to take over the role. Meanwhile,…
I felt that the team’s goaltending situation last fall was very straight forward. Darcy Kuemper was the unquestioned starter, coming off a Vezina Trophy nomination in 2024-25. Anton Forsberg was specifically signed to be the trusted, veteran number-two. Erik Portillo was ready to assume the starting role in the AHL, supported by veteran Pheonix Copley. […] The post 2026 Training Camp Preview – Goaltenders appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
It's been nearly two months since the Philadelphia Flyers turned the hockey world on its ear by signing Leo Carlsson to an astronomical offer sheet of an $18 million AAV over five years. The Anaheim Ducks matched, but the seismic effects have been felt on contracts across the league. One of the seemingly more difficult negotiations still ongoing, is the Columbus Blue Jackets trying to get their own first-line center, and the man selected right after Carlsson, at #3 in the 2023 NHL Draft,...
MIAMI — Klay Thompson cleared waivers Sunday afternoon. The Miami Heat announced the signing that night. The Dallas Mavericks had bought out the final year of his contract three days earlier. Miami did not release terms. However, sources told Dallas Sports Journal he signed a two-year, $11.5 million deal. The second year is under $5.9 million […]
The 2016 NHL Draft featured high-end talent at all three positions, headlined by Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews. Owen Cameron takes a look at what changes would be made if general managers across the league had a second chance to make their picks.
Safety DeShon Elliott was the highest-graded Pittsburgh Steeler by Pro Football Focus in Friday’s 17-0 loss to the New York Jets. It marked Elliott’s return to game action after hyperextending his knee and tearing his hamstring off the bone in the team’s Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers last season, and getting back […]
Everyone knows that the Jets’ long term answer at quarterback likely isn’t on the roster. Even with Cade Klubnik looking okay in preseason this year, the most likely outcome is that Klubnik ends up a long-term backup. That’d be a win from a fourth-round quarterback. With that in mind, the Jets are almost certain to […]
With a total 12 teams heading into the league’s fourth season, how should they be split up?
The Top 25 Under 25 is a collaboration by Mile High Hockey staff members. Seven writers have ranked players under the age of 25 in the Colorado Avalanche organization as of September 1, 2026. Now, we’ll count down each of the 25 players ranked. The acquisition of right wing Fabian Lysell by the Avalanche earlier […]
The Texas Rangers or Houston Astros could potentially win the American League West with a losing record, sparking a familiar debate about MLB postseason expansion.
There are still a few interesting questions hanging around the Toronto Maple Leafs as training camp gets closer. One of them is sitting on the blue line, where Toronto has…
Barcelona starlet Ebrima Tunkara has sustained an ankle injury and is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.

He played for Juliano Belletti’s team in a friendly at the weekend against Vilanova but […]
Craig Sager brought a colorful aesthetic to NBA broadcasts. This one time, Kevin Garnett called him it. It was hysterical.
The 2025-26 season was a roller coaster for the Seattle Kraken. They had their best start ever and won their first home opener in their five seasons in the league. The…
