From mid-December until just last week, the Knicks played the worst stretch of basketball they’ve played since 2022. So naturally, it’ll take more than a three-game winning streak, with two of the wins coming against the Nets and Kings, to win back the trust of the fanbase and the belief of the national media. But […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are floundering and the reality of them finishing out of the playoffs but not being bad enough to get a top 10 draft pick is starting to creep into the mind of every fan. Naturally, that then comes with thoughts about what they can do to either rescue the season or look towards the future with some trades before the deadline in March. Enter Shane Wright as the hottest topic of conversation as a potential fix for the Flyers’ problem of not having enough good centers...

Two pieces dropped on Wednesday morning that give us two unique perspectives on the current state of the Blackhawks’ rebuild. One comes from outside Chicago, an analytically-driven assessment that compares the Blackhawks’ projection for the future (the next seven years in this case) to other organizations in a similar situation. The other is a conversation with Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson about how he views the trajectory of the franchise. Because the two speak to similar ide...

The Minnesota Wild are not done adding this season. They are tied for second in the NHL, already traded a large piece of their future for Quinn Hughes, and are in win now mode. When discussing Jesper Wallstedt, Elliotte Friedman said, "If you're all in to win and you've got Filip Gustavsson signed...what someone said to me was, if it happens, you'll understand why." This is a big hint at a major addition and a large portion of the price to acquire them being Wallstedt, a 23-year-old goalie who...

Tonight, the Colorado Avalanche will take their talents west of Parliament Hill to the Canadian Tire Center in Kanata, Ontario, for a matchup with the Ottawa Senators. The Sens made minced meat of the Las Vegas Golden Knights there last time, and they hope to build on that dominating 7-1 victory after struggling to match […]

With the Toronto Maple Leafs ' fifth loss in a row and seventh of their last eight games, they have fallen out of the playoff race unless they have a very strong finish. With how the Eastern Conference playoff race is, they are going to need at least 95 points to get in at this point. The team is eight points back with surging teams like the Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, and Montreal Canadiens all firmly ahead of them. This is seen as a transition year for the Maple Leafs after losing Mitch M...

Locking in defensive returns is often the difference between a red arrow and a green one in the world of Fantasy Premier League. While goals and assists capture the headlines, the 4-point windfall for a clean sheet remains the gold standard for goalkeepers and defenders, while even midfielders benefit from a sneaky 1-point bonus for […]

It was exactly a month ago when we learned that both the Edmonton Oilers and Andrew Mangiapane were getting set to part ways. The forward's role with the team has gotten more and more sparse as the season has gone along, as his ice time has cratered. But somewhat surprisingly, a trade has yet to materialize. Mangiapane has a full no-trade clause in the two-year, $7.2 million deal he signed with the Oilers this past summer ($3.6M AAV). But he's not about to let that hold him back from going som...

It finally looks like Tampa Bay Lightning might be getting some of their injured blueliners back into the line-up.

With the Lightning re-assigning Simon Lundmark and Jakob Pelletier, the door is open for Ryan McDonagh to return to the line-up on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The reassignment of Pelle...

For starters, let me preface this by saying that much of what follows is conjecture. In all my years following this team, I can’t remember a time with this level of secrecy and confusion. It genuinely feels like no one outside the Jets’ day-to-day operations has any real idea what’s going on. We’ve seen beat […]

Evander Kane and his camp have been given permission by the Vancouver Canucks to talk to teams to try to find him a new destination. Insider Elliotte Friedman revealed the latest on Kane, while speaking with NHL Network: I think we've known for some time now that they would like to move him, and he would like to go to a playoff team... But I think it appears likely that he may be a post-Olympic Break deal at this point in time. I think the Canucks are hoping for a third-round pick or som...

The Blackhawks lost a game last night. I really like this paragraph from Mark Lazerus’ postgame for The Athletic after accounting for Minnesota’s three-goal comeback: None of those was a ghastly, unforgivable miscue by the Blackhawks. The Wild are just good. And they fought back. Sometimes that’s just how it happens. Hockey’s not always a zero-sum game. Earlier this morning I wrote about the idea of “good losses” for the Blackhawks right now. This roster will undoubtedly evolve i...
