There may have been some familiarity for Seattle when it came to picking Elliott whic...

Oilers think they won’t have to retain ‘a lot’ in Nurse trade: Friedman
There is a lot of chatter around the league about Darnell Nurse, maybe more than people would expect, leading the Edmonton Oilers to believe they won’t have to retain a lot on his contract. “There’s legit interest,” said Elliotte Friedman Wednesday morning on The Fan Hockey Show. “Edmonton had kind of indicated that they didn’t…

Did the Hurricanes just become the best team with no Hall-of-Famers in NHL history?
This week is always a weird time on the NHL calendar. The Stanley Cup final has just ended, and everyone is trying to catch their breath before the offseason truly gets going. The draft, trade rumors, and UFA boards are all happening against the backdrop of Cup parties and parades. But we’re also just days away from the announcement of this year’s Hockey Hall of Fame class, which comes Monday. That timing always struck me as a bit odd, since what should be a huge announcement ends up being ove...

It's Just Business, Right?
The announcement today was certainly a long-time coming, but it was still unexpected in its arrival. The costs of broadcasting NHL hockey have risen beyond any sort of comprehensible amount of money that you and I will ever know, and CBC's involvement in the game that they helped to popularize, to curate, and to advance was already done outside of a sublicensing agreement from Rogers Sportsnet that was, at best, a charitable offering to keep the public broadcaster involved. Yes, the CBC showed...
