The Nashville Predators have signed the former Tampa Bay Lightning defender for two years at an AAV of $2.75M. This brings the number of similarly-named players acquired for the blueline this week to two, after yesterday’s signing of Nicolas Hague .
Perbix, who just turned 27, scored 19 points (6G/13A) in a third-pair role for the Bolts last season. The team struggled with puck control while he was paired with his usual defense partner, Emil Lilleberg. However, he played better with other...

Wilyer Abreu led off the bottom of the fifth with an inside-the-park home run . Three innings later, he donged the first grand slam of his career. The Red Sox rode a seven-run first inning to a 13-6 victory. Abreu became only the sixth player to hit an inside-the-park home run and a grand slam in a game -- and the first player to do it in 67 years. The others : June 5, 1890 - Jocko Fields, Pittsburgh Burghers (Players League) July 4, 1923 (G1) - Everett Scott, Yankees August 4, 1930 - Charlie ...

Last year I made a joke about how we’d all sit around and wait for the inevitable Steven Stamkos re-signing in Tampa to be massively overshadowed by some other trade, and, uh, as you all know, that didn’t happen.
This year I got nothin’. Pull up a chair and let’s see what happens.

The Nashville Predators made one move today before free agency began, trading Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights for defender Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 draft pick. The Preds also agreed to retain salary on Sissons.
Under those circumstances, it’s disappointing but not surprising to see that Hague’s on-ice impact for Vegas last season wasn’t the best. The 26-year-old is a low-scoring defender who struggled to move the puck out of the zone, though the Pr...

The Preds made some trades and some picks today. Toward the end of the draft it seemed as if they just didn’t like a lot of the available options, swapping multiple picks for same-round picks next season.
During the first round yesterday, they made three picks (and a trade): center Brady Martin at 5th , defender Cameron Reid at 21st , and forward Ryker Lee at 26th . Here are today’s additions:
Jacob Rombach | Defender | Pick #35, 2nd Round

With the 26th overall pick, originally from the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Preds have drafted forward Ryker Lee.
Lee — a graduate of Shattuck St. Mary’s — played for the Madison Capitols of the USHL last season, where he accumulated 58 points (31G/38A) in 68 games. He’s committed to play hockey at Michigan State University.
This is a little earlier than many scouts projected Lee going, but EliteProspects evaluates him as a talented puckhandler and great passer. While they note he’s not...

The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher.
Reid spent the last two seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, scoring 21 points (2G/21A) in 43 games in the first of those seasons and 54 points (14G/40A) in 67 games this year, where he was also awarded an A for the team.

With the fifth overall pick in the NHL Draft, the Preds have selected center Brady Martin.
Martin played for the Saulte Ste. Marie Greyhounds last season, and represented Canada at the WJC, wearing an A for both teams. Almost every scouting organization had him set to go in the first half of the first round, and although he came off the board a little earlier than expected, the Preds remain in dire need of a strong center.
He was described by Elite Prospects as a physical, hard-hitti...

on the worst "trying" team in baseball The Rockies, despite sweeping the Nats, are historically bad. They are on pace for 37 wins. There literally should be calls from the game to replace the owner because things are so non-competitive in Denver. The White Sox are in a similar spot, Reinsdorf aging into a worse version of himself as owner often do stuck with a "back in my day we didn't pay players so much" mentality, trying to squeeze every last dollar from the team for...

For the fourth time in franchise history, the New Orleans Pelicans will enter the NBA Draft with multiple first-round picks. It’s a rare chance to reshape the roster, and a painful reminder of how often this franchise has failed to capitalize on these moments. In 2006, 2012, and 2019, the Pelicans/Hornets had at least two […]

And Fire Rizzo. And Sell the Team Look I've been an advocate for Rizzo, who can deal with the best of them, and is perfectly acceptable at IDing long range contract targets (some bomb, some work out - that's just how it goes). But sticking by Davey here isn't about results or Davey's proven track record with kids (which doesn't exist), it's about keeping a guy who doesn't complain about the roster at all and works quietly with whatever he's given. Rizzo bombed in...

Tuesday was anything but quiet for the New Orleans Pelicans. In the span of a few hours, the franchise made a bold trade with the Indiana Pacers, securing a second first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft, and then found itself back in the headlines for a much less celebratory reason: Dejounte Murray’s brutally honest […]

The Red Sox have a 10-5 record in the month of June, with five of those 10 victories against the Yankees. June 7: Red Sox 10, MFY 7 June 8: Red Sox 11, MFY 7 June 13: Red Sox 2, MFY 1 (10) June 14: Red Sox 4, MFY 3 June 15: Red Sox 2, MFY 0 The 2-0 shutout on Father's Day turned the MFY bats into wet noodles. With subsequent losses to the Angels, 1-0 (11) and 4-0, the Yankees have not scored a run in their last 29 innings. As you can see below, that's a grand total of four runs in their last f...
