Meet the Sellers: It’s a firesale for the Calgary Flames

Unsurprisingly, the Calgary Flames are bad once again. Last season, they nearly squeaked into a playoff spot, finishing tied with the St. Louis Blues on points (96), but ultimately finishing outside a postseason berth due to the tiebreaker of regulation wins. Whatever magic they had in 2024-25 is now gone, as the team has bottomed…

There Is Less Than Meets the Eye With Michael McCarron

You are not overthinking it. There is no mystery angle to the latest Minnesota Wild transaction. Trading a 2028 second-round pick for a “big” checking forward in Michael McCarron is not good asset management. Let’s do a little bit of an economics lesson. When many people are interested in the p...

Breaking: Colton Parayko Makes His Decision on Buffalo Deal

No-trade and no-movement clauses have become more and more common in the NHL. And herein lies the reason that players want them. St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko was tentatively traded to the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night, but he slept on it, and on Thursday confirmed that he would NOT be waiving his no-trade. The deal is nullified, and Parayko is staying put in St. Louis—for now. Confirming: #stlblues defenseman Colton Parayko has decided to not waive his no-trade clause to accep...

Bobby Brink trade rumors signal Flyers’ plan to fix winger logjam

While the Rasmus Ristolainen trade rumors were flying, another Flyer was quietly linked to a potential deadline move.  Bobby Brink’s name has come up in passing as someone that the Flyers could dangle as means to improve other positions of need, but until recently, there were no specific discussions taking place that would lead anyone to think that Brink will be gone before the deadline.  But with the deadline a day away, Elliotte Friedman tossed out a theory that Brink cou...

Pondering some players a day before the deadline

So far the Tampa Bay Lightning have had a quiet trade season. They lost Jack Finley on waivers, made some minor trades, but all-in-all, general manager Julien BriseBois has been pretty content with his often injured, but still conference-leading roster. Could that change over the next 20+ hours? If history is any indication, yes, yes it will. As usual, there hasn’t been much solid reporting on the Lightning’s trade interests. Yes, there has been speculation and tires kicked on names like ...
