The unconventional tactic that could save the Flyers’ power play

With Jamie Drysdale set to miss time and the Flyers power play already sitting at a fledgling 15.0%, tied for 31st in the league, nothing has gone right for the man advantage unit. Regardless of personnel, tactics, or the heroics of Trevor Zegras, the Flyers’ power play has once again been an anchor around the neck of a team that has been pretty damn good at even strength and on the penalty kill.  Zegras is the only player to have double digits points on the power play, and his six goals ...

Sharks Have Interesting Trade Strategy This Season

The San Jose Sharks have had a quick rise from when Macklin Celebrini was drafted until now. The team went from dead last and only 20 wins last season to 23 wins in 45 games and sitting in a playoff spot. Plenty of young talent on top of Celebrini are making their mark, but this is a group that is going to be very good soon. The Sharks are in an interesting spot as the trade deadline approaches. The team sits in the first wildcard spot and have had moments in the top-3 as they are four games a...

GM #45: New York Islanders @ Winnipeg Jets

The month of December wasn’t a great one for Winnipeg Jets’ goaltenders, as it only provided Connor Hellebuyck & Eric Comrie with one win each. Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, the masked men have already equaled that plateau before the mid-month mark.

Maple Leafs Working To Bring In Brothers Before Trade Deadline

By going 8-0-2 in their last 10 games, the Toronto Maple Leafs have finally moved back into a playoff spot. This is a playoff team which had a rough start and needed some health. While the health hasn't exactly come back, a lot of players are contributing to the success. As it has been since the summer, the Maple Leafs need additions, even more so now that there is some open cap space and certain players that have shown they are disposable. Toronto hasn't been silent though. There have been at...

Why the Flyers could trade Bobby Brink before the deadline

With the NHL trade deadline looming in the coming weeks, could the Flyers look to move on from 24-year-old forward Bobby Brink? Brink has had a solid season so far, tallying 11 goals and nine assists over 41 games, but could the Flyers look to move on from the young forward? As we all know, the Flyers have a logjam at wing. It has long been a position of strength for the Flyers. It has continued to grow in strength with the additions of center/winger hybrid Trevor Zegras – who is currentl...

Rangers' Panarin Linked To Stanley Cup Contender

The New York Rangers are having another bad season and the team has the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only team under .500 in the East and have lost eight of their last 10 games. It makes too much sense for the Rangers to sell and they have the means to change things up and bring in helpful pieces. The big trade candidate is Artemi Panarin, who had reportedly rejected a big contract extension and isn't going to take a team-friendly deal to stick around. T...
