Just a day after this trade was announced, it is still difficult for me believe it actually this actually happened. The Chicago Blackhawks traded the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, the 45th overall pick in the same draft, and defenseman Louis Crevier to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defenseman Bowen Byram and forward Jordan Greenway. While Greenway is part of the package, there is no question that Byram is the centerpiece of the deal coming Chicago's way. Byr

Last week, once the NHL season ended and the Carolina Hurricanes hoisted the Stanley Cup, I did what I always do when a season ends for a sport I love… I immediately went to check the title odds for the next season's championship. One thing immediately caught my eye. The Florida Panthers were sitting at 12-1 to win the Stanley Cup. I know they missed the playoffs this past season, but that was largely due to injuries.

Beaudoin also reports that if McDavid were ever to leave the Edmonton Oilers over the next few years, the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers would be among the teams at the top of his list. Let's start off with one thing. The whole "checking out neigh

And that's all she wrote for the Montreal Canadiens' 2025-26 season. The Canadiens' remarkable playoff has come to an end after a 6-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. While Montreal managed to take Game 1 by a score of 6-2, the reality is that Carolina controlled this series from Game 2 on. Even though Games 2 and 3 required overtime, the Hurricanes were the better team in both contests. The final two games weren't particularly compet

The Vancouver Canucks are coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history. They finished last in the NHL, and at this point, they’ve pretty clearly committed to a full rebuild. With that in mind, this is easily one of (if not the most) important offseasons in Canucks history. With that, here’s how I would attack this offseason if I were helping run the Canucks through this situation. Move 1: Hire Kevyn Adams as General Manager or Some Front Office Role This might be
