Mitch Marner's Agent Blasts Maple Leafs

His first year with the Vegas Golden Knights went pretty well, including an outstanding playoff performance that saw him lead the entire Stanley Cup playoffs with 29 points in 22 games.

Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud's Next Contract Projected At Huge Number

The next wave of the St. Louis Blues forward group is taking shape, and Jimmy Snuggerud is looking like the best of the bunch.

Matthew Schaefer 'In No Rush' To Become Islanders' Captain

Matthew Schaefer, the next captain of the New York Islanders? Not so fast.  The Calder Trophy winning defenseman isn't in any rush to wear the 'C' on Long Island, after Anders Lee signed with the Utah Mammoth this summer, and vacated the leadership position.

"It would be such an honor (to be captain)," Schaefer told NHL.com at the 12th annual Smilezone Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lionhead Golf Club on Monday. ...

Top Landing Spots For Free Agent Eeli Tolvanen

Flyers GM Looking To Add 'Big-Time Player' For Power Play

The Philadelphia Flyers were stymied in their attempt to land top young center Leo Carlsson after the massive $18M AAV offer sheet they signed him to was matched by the Anaheim Ducks.
