Eight critical questions the Leafs should ask the candidates to be their next GM
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the market for a new GM, and probably a president too. I’m offering my services. No, not for the jobs themselves. But I’m willing to act as a consultant for the interview process. Specifically, I’ve got a few questions that I’d love to see Keith Pelley and his hiring committee ask potential candidates before making a decision on who’ll lead this franchise into the future. Normally I’d charge a hefty fee to a corporate client for this sort of insight, but given th...
Oilers to blackout playoff games until 50/50 pot reaches $1 million

Are They Still The Islanders?
It seemed like the only thing holding up the decision by the New York Islanders to move the Bridgeport Islanders to Hamilton, Ontario was the AHL Board of Governors. It was rumoured for a while before the announcement finally came that this would be the reality for 2026-27, but it still needed the rubber stamp from the league's membership. That vote took place today, and AHL President and CEO Scott Howson made it official by announcing that the Islanders would move into the renovated TD Colise...

GDB 75.0: Oilers look to continue their dominance over Kraken (7 PM MT, SNW)
My first recollection of the Kraken came in the 1980s movie Clash of the Titans. The Kraken was a giant sea monster with a six-pack, no less. The movie was very popular due to its stop-motion visual effects. That doesn’t sound overly exciting in 2026, but in the early 1980s, it was a big deal….

Pre-Scout: Oilers look to keep stacking performances against McMann-led Kraken
With chaos brewing in the Pacific Division, the Edmonton Oilers seem relatively drama-free in comparison after three solid wins in a row.

In most cases, this is still evolving, as schools figure out how much they'll have to spend, where the...
Three Head-Scratching Years
Far be it for me to question anyone's position in hockey from where I sit, but I always found it strange that the Toronto Maple Leafs hired Bred Treliving to be their general manager three years ago. That's not to say that Treliving wasn't able to do the job, but it's hard to ignore the immense pressure that comes with sitting in the big chair in a city that demands a winner. Being that 1967 is a lifetime ago and the Leafs moving away from a playoff spot has to come with consequences, and Toro...
