He was also working with the second power play unit. André Burakovsky will also return to the Blackhawks’ lineup on Thu...

2 Canadiens Defensemen Will Be Gone By End Of Next Season

The Montreal Canadiens continue to churn out or acquire good NHL defensemen, and in a system that does that, the team has to eventually part with some. The offense has been coming together for the Canadiens, and the goaltending looks solid now and for the future, but at forward is where the team must once again look to potentially swap out a defender to get better. The Canadiens have Mike Matheson, Lane Hutson, Noah Dobson, and Kaiden Guhle all signed through 2031. That feels like their core o...

2 More Trade Candidates Named For Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks have to commit to selling at this point and call this season a wash at the very least. The team should realistically go into a rebuild, but their course of action remains to be seen. After Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood were moved, there are still some players on shorter term deals that could be traded as well. While there may be more interest in the players that could really send the Canucks into a rebuild, players on the last year of their deals are more urgent to mov...

Kraken May Have To Trade Productive Top-6 Forward

The Seattle Kraken are right in the mix for a playoff spot, but there is still some time until the trade deadline, though it approaches quickly. Some big decisions are going to have to be made. There isn't a high chance that the Kraken bring back all five of their pending UFAs, but would certainly like to keep a couple around if they can. The group of upcoming free agents on the Kraken include Jordan Eberle, Eeli Tolvanen, Jaden Schwartz, Ben Meyers, and Jamie Oleksiak. Who we're focusing on h...
