While the standings in the NHL are very close in each conference, there are teams that have separated themselves in the wrong way. In the West, there are three in particular that had higher hopes and are at the point of gearing up to make moves. Chris Johnston said, "It goes Vancouver, Nashville, and Calgary in that order for most likely to start making some moves." These are the last three placed teams in the NHL at the moment. The Vancouver Canucks are in last place with a record of 10-14-3 ...
Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett has become something of a regular in trade rumors, and his recent run of strong play certainly hasn’t quelled the buzz.
On the contrary, he’s become hot enough a name in the rumor mill that the Flyers are apparently attempting to throw cold water on any possibility of an imminent move.
On the latest episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast , NHL insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that Tippett’s name has been floating in trade chatter and inferred th...
The Mets enter the Winter Meetings already having added a significant free agent in Devin Williams, and pulled off a swap of two veteran players when they received Marcus Semien from the Rangers in exchange for Brandon Nimmo. With a roster still very much in flux, there is plenty more to do, and the Winter […]
Ranger Suarez Rumors — I know there’s a whole lot of exciting Cubs/Alex Bregman talk out there lately , but don’t let that distract you from the publicly stated and more logical offseason objective: Pitching, pitching, and more pitching.
Last we heard, the Cubs were in on Dylan Cease until his bidding approached $200 million, and that they remain involved in the markets for Michael King and Tatsuya Imai . We also learned that the Cubs can add upwards of $50 million to the 2026 payroll , w...
December is going to be a busy month for the Blackhawks’ prospects. NCAA and CHL games are heating up, but there will be players who leave their respective teams for camps to get ready for the World Junior Championship as soon as next week. It’s also worth noting again that Minnesota-Duluth goaltender Adam Gajan will play in the Spengler Cup on the college select team; that tournament overlaps with the World Juniors.
Just this past weekend I updated our top 20 Blackhawks prospect rankings...
The New York Rangers suffered a big blow to their defense corps last week as Adam Fox was placed on LTIR with a left shoulder injury. He's expected to miss multiple weeks. That leaves the Blueshirts in a lurch on the blueline. They have a serious lack of puck-moving d-men, and in particular, they will be hurt on the power play. Insider Elliotte Friedman reported on his 32 Thoughts podcast that they are scouring the market for help in those areas, and seem to be zeroing in on ...
On December 5th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers goon Daniel Carcillo sucker punched Matt Bradley of the Washington Capitals with five minutes remaining in the first period and the teams tied 1-1.
Carcillo received 29 minutes in penalties on the play (Bradley drew nothing) with the NHL adding a four game suspension, forcing the Flyer to forgo $43,597 in pay. Washington scored three times on the
The Edmonton Oilers needed that. They really needed that. About everything that could’ve gone their way Thursday night did in their 9-4 walloping of the Seattle Kraken, as Connor McDavid notched his 13th career hat trick, four players posted three or more points, and many a milestone was hit. For McDavid, he’s faced some criticism all…
The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the UNC Tar Heels on Friday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Badgers cruised past the Eastern Illinois Panthers in the first round, winning 25-11, 25-6, 25-19 for an easy sweep at the Field House. That marked their tenth straight win, improving their record to 25-4 […]
The Nashville Predators are one of the key teams to watch in the coming weeks when it comes to trade activity. GM Barry Trotz is getting mighty impatient, as his explosive "I need (expletive) more from them!" rant proved late last month. Yes, they've won two in a row, but they're still one point out of dead last in the league. Steven Stamkos, two-time Stanley Cup winner and future Hall of Famer, has been a supreme disappointment since coming to Nashville. He's sitting on eight goals and 11 poi...

Gameweek 15 is fast approaching, and selecting the right captain could make all the difference in climbing the ranks. While many managers tend to rely on the same popular choices each week, this round offers a mix of premium, mid-priced, and differential options—each with strong potential to deliver big returns. Below are some of the […]
Thoughts on the Senators, the Charge, and the Olympics.
It was not the prettiest win. It was probably not the way head coach Dan Muse would want to draw it up. But the Pittsburgh Penguins found a way to go on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday and walk away with a baffling 4-3 regulation win. They let another three-goal lead […]
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I go out of my way to celebrate one of the rarer feats in hockey whenever and wherever it happens. The man to the left is the latest player to accomplish such a feat, and the rookie Tri-City Americans netminder also had himself one heckuva Wednesday. That player is Xavier Wendt from Plymouth, Minnesota - about 45 minutes east of Grand Casinos Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota - and the 17 year-old netminder hit a milestone and added his na...
The Jets recently acquired cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor via trade and he has already played in four games for the team. Today we break Taylor down in detail. The 26-year old Taylor is listed at 5’10” and 185 pounds and was a sixth round pick out of Wake Forest in 2022. He has started 11 games […]

The Colorado Eagles continued their success from the month of October into November as they finished still on top of the Pacific division with a record of 14-5-1 good for 29 points. The schedule included a pivotal four-game back-to-back weekend sets with rival Tucson in which earned the Eagles a split as well as a […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Good morning, LSB. Brandon Nimmo was officially introduced as a Texas Ranger on Thursday and will wear No. 24. Jeff Wilson writes that the Rangers have already had a busy offseason even before it’s time to start signing new players. Evan Grant breaks down the trade pieces available to the Rangers heading into the start […]
Another tough injury blow Thursday night for the Toronto Maple Leafs, as their other starting goalie, Joseph Woll, went down to injury. But they held on for their third straight win, a 5-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, as Dennis Hildeby came in to hold down the fort in the third period. Meanwhile, the Leafs continue their search for top-six help, and the latest reports have them as one of two teams labeled with 'strong interest' in Calgary Flames veteran forward Blake Coleman. Ac...
Tomás Nido was released. Drew Smith was granted free agency. Brandon Nimmo was traded to the Texas Rangers. But against all odds, Jeff McNeil still remains slotted into the first, second, or third spot on nearly half the Mets’ positional depth chart for 2026. McNeil, nicknamed “The Squirrel” for his trademark scrappy, aggressive approach, is […]
Offensive Summary Oregon has continued to have a very balanced offense with strong yards per play numbers in both the run and pass games. Unlike recent seasons however, in two of the six quadrants hythloday and I track this offense is only average. Though very efficient in the run game the Ducks have not been […]
