Mangiapane’s Days in Edmonton Numbered
The Edmonton Oilers are getting healthier, and that means their depth, particularly at forward, has gotten deeper. But in direct inverse correlation with how healthy the team is getting, Andrew Mangiapane's role has gotten more and more 'unhealthy', playing-time-wise. Elliotte Friedman tells us on the 32 Thoughts podcast that that could mean that Mangiapane's days with the team are numbered. He says that a trade is beginning to sound good to both player and club. I do think both sides wo...

Blackhawks Notes: Bedard Skates, Mikheyev, Returns, Lineup Blender, More
Even though the Blackhawks played back-to-back days coming out of the Christmas break, they still practices on Monday. And… there was a lot going on. Some good news right out of the gate: Connor Bedard was on the ice before the rest of his teammates. He did not shoot the puck, but was skating and doing some puck handling stuff. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said there is no change to Bedard’s timeline; he’ll still be evaluated after the calendar flips to 2026. But he was on the ice ...

Although Alex Bregman is one of the most highly sought-after free agents this winter, his market has been fairly narrow and well-defined for a while now. And yet, lately, the specifics have begun to evolve. A few weeks ago, Bregman’s market was pretty unanimously boiled down to three teams: (1) The Cubs, who made him an offer last offseason, (2) the Tigers, who made him an offer last offseason, and (3) the incumbent Red Sox, who signed him last offseason. Today, that looks a little differ...
