To the Rangers for 5 prospects. I'll delve into it more when we have the names but the Rangers system is weaker but in part due to injury and bad 2025s - which yes, I know but these guys can turn around pretty quickly. The name that is in there Gavin Fien, a guy that's arguably Top 2-4 in the Rangers system but also arguably outside the Top 100 overall. He is supposed to hit well and profiles to be a decent fielding 3B or a 1B/RF type (good enough glove to play SS in HS...

Of all the debates of what the Minnesota Wild should target, might land, or will give up at the March 6 trade deadline, the talk boils down to one fundamental question. What, exactly, is the Wild's window? Bill Guerin has said the organization is in the third year of its five-year plan, a...

The New York Rangers are open for business, as we know. There aren't many players on the roster who they won't be listening on, though five have no-move clauses, and we already know of two Blueshirts who will not be open to waiving those. The San Jose Sharks , meanwhile, are a team heading in the other direction. Their ascension up the standings this season has them battling for a playoff spot, and they could be looking to supercharge it with a couple of additions from the Rangers. ...
It was the best of losses, it was the worst of losses. It was the age of power-play goals, it was the age of empty-net gaffes. It was an early lead, it was a late collapse. It was a game of hope, it was a game of despair. The Philadelphia Flyers went through the wringer on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City. After ending their skid with a low-event win in Vegas on Monday night, it looked like they might be able to string two wins together after a hot start. However, after Bobby Brink’s pow...
The Knicks are supposed to be in the midst of an easy portion of the schedule. They had back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers and Kings, the latter of which is amongst the worst teams in the league. And then after consecutive games against the Warriors and Suns, two good teams, they squared off against […]

The Blackhawks have a tough test tonight. The Canes are 18-8-1 at home, have won three straight and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They also have the second-best goal differential (plus-28) in the Eastern Conference. But the Blackhawks should get a boost with the return of Frank Nazar tonight. He’ll be back in his usual spot up front, which helps lengthen the Hawks’ lineup. This stacks up as a good measuring stick for the young Blackhawks. Broadcast Info Puck Drop: 6:00...

This season continues the regular-season portion of that trend, with the Hurricanes all alone atop the Metro with 66 points in 50 games (31-15-4), well ...
The first trade deadline is right around the corner as the Olympic break roster freeze is set for February 4th. Will the Lightning make a move before this deadline? Honestly, who knows?

General Manager Julien BriseBois was as vague as usual during his mid-season check-in , downplaying the Lightning’s chances of being a big player on the trade market. “So even if we’r...
