Ex-Sharks Enforcer Retires After 16 Seasons In The NHL
Ryan Reaves is a loud and brash personality in the NHL. After serving in the NHL as an enforcer for the last sixteen seasons, he's decided to retire. He spent the 2025-26 season playing as a San Jose Shark , with 50 games played, scoring three points. "You can rest easy knowing the corners are a little safer today. Mic drop, gloves drop.

Seattle Kraken Sign Ex-Flyers GM In A Puzzling Move
The Seattle Kraken are in the process of rebuilding their front office. On June 19th, 2026, Ron Francis left the organization to join the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team he played for in the 90s.

As the 2026-27 season gets into gear with training camps opening around the league, one thing hasn't changed from the offseason: the Philadelphia Flyers are going 'big game hunting'.

Lightning GM 'Would Have Preferred' To Have Kucherov Extension Done By Now
One intriguing development as training camps open around the league is that the Tampa Bay Lightning and superstar forward and pending UFA, Nikita Kucherov, do NOT have an extension in place. At this point, if nothing gets done, he will be playing out the final year of his contract, with free agency beckoning at season's end. Key takeaway here is that BriseBois wishes Kucherov would have been extended by now. They’ll keep at it. Eight years now off the table in new CBA. Reigning Hart Trop...

Report: Connor Hellebuyck To Hold Out From Winnipeg Jets Camp
