Blues & Hurricanes Linked to Potential Big Trade

The Carolina Hurricanes, as always, are looking to take a big swing as we approach the trade deadline. Last year, it was Mikko Rantanen; the year before that, Jake Guentzel. Most believe that this season will be no different.  One top-flight offensive talent they've got their eye on is Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues. And according to insider David Pagnotta, appearing on The Sheet with Jeff Marek, the Canes would be willing to part with a terrific young piece of their defense to get ...

Three keys for Northwestern men’s basketball against UCLA

Northwestern will try to carry momentum from its win over USC into Saturday’s matchup against UCLA. The Bruins enter the game fresh off a statement 69-67 victory over No. 4 Purdue and have won three of their last four games. While UCLA is currently unranked, it climbed as high as No. 12 earlier this season […]

NHL Trade Rumor: NY Rangers & Kraken 1-for-1 Deal Proposed

With the New York Rangers new 'retooling' plan going into effect, several notable names have become prime trade fodder. Not the least of which is a former No. 1 overall draft pick, Alexis Lafreniere. After what looked like a potential breakout season two years ago, Lafreniere has slipped back down into the 'big disappointment' category, and just looks like one of those players who needs a fresh start elsewhere.  The same could be said for Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright. We heard earli...

Everybody’s Working for the Weekend: Blackhawks vs. Lightning

Fresh off an exciting win in Carolina on Thursday night, the Blackhawks return to the United Center for a second game in as many nights against a top team from the Eastern Conference. This time, it’s the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning have spent the past few months reminding everyone that writing them off too early is usually a bad idea. After a slow start and dealing with a pile of early-season injuries, Tampa Bay has surged into second place in a wildly packed Atlantic Division (.68...

Rick Tocchet mixes up defensive pairs as Flyers take on Avalanche

The Philadelphia Flyers close out their three-game road trip out west tonight in Colorado against an Avalanche team that is the best in the league — and it’s not particularly close. Nathan MacKinnon & Co. lead the league with 191 goals scored and 114 goals allowed for a staggering +77 goal differential. Mind you, the next best goal differential is the Tampa Bay Lightning at +49, and then the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars each at +27. So it’s safe to say that the Flyers will face a ...

Revisiting the Blackhawks Trading Brandon Hagel to Tampa (Patience is Paying)

Since the Lightning are in town, and considering Oliver Moore ‘s performance on Thursday night, it’s worth revisiting a trade lots of Blackhawks fans weren’t thrilled about when it happened. On March 18, 2022, the Blackhawks traded Brandon Hagel to Tampa Bay for Taylor Raddysh, Boris Katchouk and two first-round picks (2023, 2024). It was the first trade consummated by Kyle Davidson as the permanent general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks. Raddysh and Katchouk were serviceable piec...

Coffee with the Caps, Friday January 23

Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you are all having a good week and that the weekend is beckoning ever closer.

With MacKenzie Gore Traded, Does That Mean the Nationals Still Have Others on the Market, Too?

There was plenty of speculation – and a couple rumors – earlier this offseason that the Washington Nationals, setting about a rebuild under a new front office, were making shortstop C.J. Abrams available in trade talks, in addition to lefty MacKenzie Gore. The chatter there didn’t really seem to go anywhere, and with the market focus shifting to free agents like Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette, it’s been a while since Abrams came up. Now, with Gore suddenly traded to the Rangers, the qu...

Mitch Marner on whether it will hurt to hear boos from Leafs fans in Toronto: “Maybe in a way, but not really… They’re probably going to try to get me off my game”

Ahead of his return to Toronto as a member of the Golden Knights, Mitch Marner discussed the emotions of the game, the video tribute, and the possibly frosty reception from the fans.

Some thoughts on MacKenzie Gore

The Texas Rangers addressed the hole in their 2026 rotation in dramatic fashion on Thursday, trading five minor leaguers to the Washington Nationals to acquire lefthanded starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore. So let’s talk about this deal, and what the Rangers are getting in Gore. Start with the basics. Gore is a lefty who turns 27 […]

Rangers' Panarin Linked To 3 Teams

There is one player on the New York Rangers who is seemingly good as gone, and that's Artemi Panarin. While he has control over where he goes and will very likely be choosing a team with a chance to hoist the Stanley Cup, it will also likely reduce his return because of this. Panarin is in the final year of his deal at $11.6 million AAV and has 19 goals and 56 points in 50 games. The 34-year-old has been one of the best offensive players over the last decade and hasn't been able to win the Cup...
