Today In NHL History - Luongo Trade (NYI-FLA)
On June 24th in 2000, New York Islanders GM Mike Milbury traded Roberto Luongo and Olli Jokinen to the Florida Panthers for Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha. The 2000 NHL Entry Draft day play saw the Isles select goalie Rick DiPietro 1st overall ahead of future all-stars Dany Heatley (2nd), Marian Gaborik (3rd) and Henrik Lundqvist (205th), to name a few. In response to the move Milbury surmised, "
Today In NHL History - Luongo Trade (FLA-VAN)
On June 23rd in 2006, Florida Panthers GM Mike Keenan traded Roberto Luongo, Lukas Krajicek, and a 6th round pick (Sergei Shirokov) in the next day's 2006 NHL Entry Draft to the host city's Vancouver Canucks for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan Allen, and Alex Auld. Both Bertuzzi (7 games) and Auld (27 games) enjoyed limited play during their one season down south while Allen (284 games) was a fixture
The Icemen Cometh
Back in July, the ECHL's Jacksonville Icemen announced that they were redesigning and rebranding their look which worked simply due to fun. Anytime that one can get a yeti into Florida means they're looking to have a little more fun with their branding, so I was hopeful that the team's new look would carry into their jersey design. With a refined colour palette and some creativity, the Icemen could have a lot of fun with their look this season and beyond. Would we see them indulge? It seems...

Grading every trade of the Stan Bowman era with the Edmonton Oilers
In just over two years as Edmonton Oilers general manager, Stan Bowman has traded away two first-round picks, moved on from several longtime players, and made some pretty aggressive bets in pursuit of a Stanley Cup. The results have been all over the map. Some moves have provided tremendous value, while others already look difficult…
The Kingdom Grows
All of the points on the map above are hockey teams owned by the same group. It doesn't include their other sports business ventures in baseball, women's basketball, and soccer, but you can see by the colours of the pins on the map that they own several teams or are operating teams within the same league. I'm not sure how conflict-of-interest rules apply here, but owning and/or operating five ECHL teams seems like it would cause headaches. For Zawyer Sports and Entertainment Group, though, tho...
Why the Oilers can survive Frederik Andersen’s absence
After revamping their goaltending group over the last calendar year — trading Stuart Skinner last December and letting Calvin Pickard walk as a free agent — the Edmonton Oilers planned to run with three goaltenders for 2026-27: Tristan Jarry, Frederik Andersen, and Devon Levi. They’ll have to begin with two, however, as Andersen is still…

Heading Home
The road trip officially comes to an end today, and I would say that I got a lot done in my visit to Thunder Bay. There's always work to be done no matter where I go, but there were some good laughs, some great lunches, and a number of people who made the visit far more than just "work visit". However, that also means that I'll have to plan a trip to be out here again next year, so I'm sure I'll be visiting the shores of Lake Superior once again in 2027 and I'm already looking forward to the t...
This Is Anything But Victory
I've never been an executive for a television or streaming company, but making one's offerings available to as many people as possible without charging exorbitant fees seems like a good place to start. Of course, those offerings would also need to be entertaining to keep people coming back, but that would be the challenge in filling a television lineup on a day-to-day basis. Sports networks seem less demanding as they seem to broadcast old games, talk shows, radio shows, highlight shows, and a...
Long-shot NHL award picks: Zach Werenski for Hart? Stuart Skinner for Vezina?
With the NHL’s 2026-27 season almost upon us, it’s time to make some award picks. Easy, right? Connor McDavid for the Hart, Cale Makar for the Norris, Porter Martone for the Calder, and all the various other favorites. Maybe a Macklin Celebrini here or a Nikita Kucherov there if you want to be different. So sure, easy. Too easy. For today at least, we’re skipping the favorites and aiming a little higher. It’s time for our annual attempt to nail some true longshots. We’ve been trying this for y...
