The Chicago Blackhawks hope it's nothing too serious for forward Frank Nazar. Nazar fell very awkwardly during the first period of Friday's game against the Calgary Flames, and did not return.

The next player to do this appears to be on his way, according to Elliotte Friedman. The insider said, "An undrafted free agent picking up steam...Vitali Pinchuk....

The Calgary Flames are at the bottom of the league this season and don't have much to look forward to with the underperforming players and aging veterans. There are some talented young players, but it's asking a lot of them to carry the team. Goal scoring has been dried up for some time now and Dustin Wolf just can't carry the team. With all that being said, the Flames are in a spot where they should be selling off pieces this season. If not soon, then by the trade deadline. But while the play...

The Utah Mammoth have gotten off to a strong start to the season with some good health and added talent to the team. But there is plenty more space and opportunity to make a trade or two to be elevated to an even higher tier. According to Chris Johnston, "They have tons of picks, tons of prospects, and the cap room available to get into some higher ticket items, if, say, a top-4 defenseman were to become available."
