The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to name a new management regime on Monday, and with John Chayka and Mats Sundin leading the charge, don't be surprised to see them use the team's goaltending depth to make a trade, and help reallocate some resources on the Leafs' roster. Joseph Woll has the most trade value out of any of the four goalies Toronto has on their roster. He's five years younger than Anthony Stolarz, has two years left on his contract at just $3.6 million AAV, and his limited no-tra...

The Edmonton Oilers need to retool on the fly. After both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid met with the media over the weekend, it's become obvious that things need to change in a hurry for the Oilers. Both stars called out the organization for putting together an 'average' team, and while both stars took accountability for their 'average' play during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it was obvious they feel the roster needs some tweaks. Turns out GM Stan Bowman felt the very same way, although he w...

It was reported today by Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun that the Maple Leafs would announce the new arrivals of John Chayka as general manager and former Maple Leaf forward M...
Evgeni Malkin's future as a Pittsburgh Penguin is awfully bleak. The future hall-of-famer was noticeably distraught after the Penguins were eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Philadelphia Flyers. After not being an offered a contract extension at all since July 1st, Malkin knows this could be it for him, even though the likes of Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust have essentially begged publicly for Kyle Dubas to re-sign the Russian forward. Malkin's very likely hitting...
The walls are caving in on the Edmonton Oilers. After getting ousted by the Anaheim Ducks in the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Oilers stars Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid addressed the media on Saturday, and frankly, they didn't hold anything back. Both Draisaitl and McDavid took accountability to not leading the team to the promised land, but they were also very blunt in their assessment of management, and the organization as a whole, stating the entire organization has taken a ...
The Chicago Blackhawks have one of the hottest prospect pools in the NHL . Ranked the best pool in the league by Scott Wheeler of The Athletic, the team has seen talent trickle into the lineup at the end of the season that could be game changers in the future. One of those players was the Swedish-born forward, Anton Frondell, selected 3rd overall in 2025 by the Blackhawks. The prospect made the bold claim that his game is comparable to Stanley Cup winner Aleksandr Barkov. As ...
Look away, Leafs Nation - Mitch Marner had himself a career night in Game 6 of a Stanley Cup Playoff series. The Vegas Golden Knights forward scored two goals and added one assist, including the game winner, to help lead his team to a first-round playoff series win over the Utah Mammoth. Marner had yet to score a goal in the series heading into Game 6, but had been doing it all, in all three zones, something a lot of fans don't necessarily realize.

The Edmonton Oilers are going to look at creative ways to upgrade their goaltending heading into next season, as they've become one step closer to Connor McDavid leaving with their recent Stanley Cup Playoff exit.

Steve Yzerman did not mince words at his season-ending media availability last week.
"We need better players," the Detroit Red Wings GM said. "We need to improve specifically in certain areas. We can talk about goal scoring. We need to improve in that area, particularly five-on-five."
Ten consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance will sharpen a man's language, and Yzerman was not sugar-coating what he saw in his own roster.
Elliotte Friedman said on the 32 Thoughts podcast that pe...

Despite the success this season, there's going to be some roster changes in Utah. GM Bill Armstrong will be involved at the NHL Draft, looking for immediate talent to help his club next season. Expect to see Armstrong spend right ...
