St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn is back in the rumor mill due to the Central Division club's poor start to the season. With this, let's take a look at three teams who could look to acquire Schenn this season. New Jersey Devils The Devils were heavily linked to Schenn this past season, so it would not be surprising in the slightest if they looked to add him again. He would be a great fit for their third-line center spot behind Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier. Toronto Maple Leafs ...

After rejoining the NHL’s hockey operations department, Brendan Shanahan looks like a short-term league hire with a long-term goal of running a team again. Among the suitors, the Buffalo Sabres stand out from the pack, edging the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators thanks to multiple factors. League chatter, and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests Shanahan would listen, provided he gets Toronto Maple Leafs -style autonomy.
Why Buffalo Stands Out Over Chicago and Nashville

Friedman of Kämpf, "it was clear his heart wasn’t in it."
Stating the Maple Leafs badly needed a response effort after what was ultimately a comeback win over Pittsburgh is maybe overstating matters slightly, but they should’ve been heavily emphasizing a better start entering this game. Despite the 1-0 Utah scoreline after one period, the Leafs mostly played a strong opening frame. Missed opportunities for Toronto, […]

In the last few weeks, I have found myself reading more books about hockey. Part of that reason is due to the guests we're featuring on The Hockey Show , but I've been rediscovering my love of reading as I learn about different topics within the stories about hockey. I've been lucky enough, since starting Teebz's Book Club, to find books that are impossible to put down due to the writing and the topics contained within the covers. Our book today is one of those books as Teebz's Book Club is pr...
Who knows what the Leafs will do this game.
