Civilization has collapsed, and the world has devolved into a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland. We’re in the second brutal decade of the water wars, and humanity is hanging by a thread. It is now officially year 56 of the Yzerplan, and the Red Wings still have yet to make the playoffs. For the first time in a very long time, th...

While the Boston Bruins won five straight entering this game, they were without Elias Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, and they still managed to claw out a 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Yeah, I think I’ll accept a flat home loss to the Wild in exchange for a Garden-silencing shutout of the Rangers any weekend.

Some day in the not-too-distant-future, the NHL is going to expand the number of teams in the league. When that day comes, and realignment is finalized, hopefully the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Washington Capitals end up in the same division. These two teams always seem to put forth an entertaining match, and Saturday night’s affair was no different as Brandon Hagel’s third period goal proved to be the difference in the Lightning’s 3-2 victory. For Hagel, who, if he didn’t have bad luck ...

The San Jose Sharks have shown signs of progress early on this season, as their 6-6-3 record shows. Yet, with the Sharks still in the middle of a rebuild, the expectation is that they will end up being sellers this season.

Things are not going well for the Buffalo Sabres right now, as they have a 5-6-4 record and are at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings. They have also been staying cold, as they have lost each of their last three games. If the Sabres continue to struggle, changes could be on the way. If the Sabres do end up being sellers, Bowen Byram would be a prime trade candidate. Due to this, let's look at three teams who could target the left-shot defenseman if the Sabres shop him.
