There will be a rundown of everyone at the end of the year so no particular reason to go over Nunez's power surge or Wood's power drop (before today) right now. Instead let's meet some newer guys since there are a lot of new faces around Jorge Alfaro - in the "we gotta try something behind the plate" world that the Nats are in - here is Alfaro. If the name sounds familiar we was a big-time prospect about a decade ago for the Phillies, a key piece to the Rangers trade f...

The Nashville Predators have signed the former Tampa Bay Lightning defender for two years at an AAV of $2.75M. This brings the number of similarly-named players acquired for the blueline this week to two, after yesterday’s signing of Nicolas Hague .
Perbix, who just turned 27, scored 19 points (6G/13A) in a third-pair role for the Bolts last season. The team struggled with puck control while he was paired with his usual defense partner, Emil Lilleberg. However, he played better with other...

Last year I made a joke about how we’d all sit around and wait for the inevitable Steven Stamkos re-signing in Tampa to be massively overshadowed by some other trade, and, uh, as you all know, that didn’t happen.
This year I got nothin’. Pull up a chair and let’s see what happens.

The Nashville Predators made one move today before free agency began, trading Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights for defender Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 draft pick. The Preds also agreed to retain salary on Sissons.
Under those circumstances, it’s disappointing but not surprising to see that Hague’s on-ice impact for Vegas last season wasn’t the best. The 26-year-old is a low-scoring defender who struggled to move the puck out of the zone, though the Pr...

The Preds made some trades and some picks today. Toward the end of the draft it seemed as if they just didn’t like a lot of the available options, swapping multiple picks for same-round picks next season.
During the first round yesterday, they made three picks (and a trade): center Brady Martin at 5th , defender Cameron Reid at 21st , and forward Ryker Lee at 26th . Here are today’s additions:
Jacob Rombach | Defender | Pick #35, 2nd Round
6’6″ defender Jacob Rombach spent the l...

Welcome back to the NHL Draft coverage! I’ll be doing a summary of the picks once they’re all in, and also updating this post live as the morning continues… and continues… and continues.
The Preds should be making several picks throughout the day.
Pick #35: Jacob Rombach (defender)
Pick #55 : traded to the Vegas Golden Knights for Picks #58 and 122 this year
Pick #58: Jack Ivankovic (goalie)
Pick #122: Alex Huang (defender)
Pick #131 : traded to the Edmonton Oil...

With the 26th overall pick, originally from the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Preds have drafted forward Ryker Lee.
Lee — a graduate of Shattuck St. Mary’s — played for the Madison Capitols of the USHL last season, where he accumulated 58 points (31G/38A) in 68 games. He’s committed to play hockey at Michigan State University.
This is a little earlier than many scouts projected Lee going, but EliteProspects evaluates him as a talented puckhandler and great passer. While they note he’s not...

The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher.
Reid spent the last two seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, scoring 21 points (2G/21A) in 43 games in the first of those seasons and 54 points (14G/40A) in 67 games this year, where he was also awarded an A for the team.

With the fifth overall pick in the NHL Draft, the Preds have selected center Brady Martin.
Martin played for the Saulte Ste. Marie Greyhounds last season, and represented Canada at the WJC, wearing an A for both teams. Almost every scouting organization had him set to go in the first half of the first round, and although he came off the board a little earlier than expected, the Preds remain in dire need of a strong center.
He was described by Elite Prospects as a physical, hard-hitti...

The 2025 NHL Entry Draft starts in just a few short hours, and the Nashville Predators currently have three first-round picks:
5th overall — their own, thanks to some bad lotto luck

26th overall — originally from the Vegas Golden Knights, acquired via the San Jose Sharks
They also currently have six more picks over the following six rounds:
35th — their own
55th — from Tampa

The weather was too nice for a game like that on Sunday at Lambeau Field. With all the momentum of winning two games without Jordan Love, the Packers had no answers early for Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson as they skated off to a 28-0 lead before fans could crack their first Miller Lite. The turnovers, the pass rush and just mistake-riddled effort is not what we had in mind.
But even with the brutal start, the Packers made it more than interesting, getting to within 6 points f...

My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...

After re-watching the Packers game, here are three plays that made me go hmmm, for various reasons. In general, I try to focus on a theme, the less obvious, or things I didn't notice watching live. These are not likely to be "highlight" plays.
Packers two-point conversion
Before Matt LaFleur came to town, the Packers success on two point conversions ranked somewhere from middle of the pack to bottom third in the NFL. Since his arrival, their success rate has ranked them in the top 10 to to...

Not a great week! At least we had some glimpses of positivity and I don't have to write about a 30-point Packers loss.
Vikings
The Vikings held on to win against the Pack, 31-29 (there were two missed field goals for the Packers).
Game Notes
This was a weird one. The Vikings got out to a 28-0 lead thanks to some bad turnovers and missed opportunities from the Packers and then had an insane punt muff lead to a touchdown right before the half that started an avalanche of Packers point...

Much like the week one loss against the Eagles, Sunday's loss against the Vikings wasn't so much the story of a turning point as it was a number of missed opportunities.
For the purposes of this article, I had a hard time picking just one play that turned the game in the Vikings' favor. Really, there are four.
Here they are:
Two missed field goals: Brayden Narveson's missed 37-yard and 48-yard field goals ended up being more than the difference on the scoreboard. There's no guarantees t...

It’s a SoCal showdown for the title of Pacific Division Champion.
The Ontario Reign are taking on the best team in the Pacific Division as they continue their quest for the Calder Cup. This will be their toughest test yet as they take on a team that always plays them close and was the regular season division winner. The Coachella Valley Firebirds are stacked with talent and are backstopped by a former NHL veteran who has made a lot of clutch saves in key situations. The Reign swept t...

The Tucson Roadrunners season ended earlier than many of us anticipated. After falling to the Calgary Wranglers in a best-of-three first-round series in the Calder Cup Playoffs, much of the teams’ future remains shrouded in mystery.
Back when reports were first emerging about the Arizona Coyotes’ pending move to Salt Lake City, additional reports were coming out about the future of the club’s AHL franchise. Then, a source reached out to me and said the plan, internally, was indeed to move...

New year, same story, still hoping for a different ending.
Deeply concerning defensive lapses aside to the second worst team in the NHL this year and nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Los Angeles Kings, with the help of the Vegas Golden Knights not showing up to their game against the Anaheim Ducks, managed to solidify their standing of 3rd place in the Pacific Division, giving them, for the third straight year, the Edmonton Oilers as their playoff opponent.

It is difficult to start this because it feels like I have already written it. A while ago, SBNation decided to let their hockey sites go, and it briefly seemed like I would be cut loose, never to write again.
While I am incredibly grateful to the people who donated to the GoFundMe, shared content this past season, and helped facilitate the move to an independent Five For Howling, it is time for this to end for me.
