It feels like it’s goalie week here at Broad Street Hockey. We’ve taken a look at the possibility of a Dan Vladar extension , why the Flyers should move on from Sam Ersson , and a few options in free agency that Danny Briere should target to pair with his starting netminder. But the trade market is always interesting as well, and it’s somewhere that Briere has found hidden gems throughout his tenure as Flyers general manager. Could he do the same this offseason by trading for a goali...

The front part of the 2026 schedule for the Indianapolis Colts is loaded: Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, and Steelers headline the toughest matchups. Going to Minnesota and hosting Dallas could be problematic as well. One would also be remiss to ignore the road game in Jacksonville in Week 8. The first half of this thing is […]
Free agent centers don't exactly grow on trees in the NHL these days. Especially ones that are the size of trees. 6'6", 230-pound Michael McCarron is a pending UFA, and the Minnesota Wild "badly want to re-sign him." But they might not get the chance, says insider Michael Russo in The Athletic. While the Wild have cap space and badly want to re-sign him, McCarron almost certainly could make more on the open market since it just takes one team to throw a boatload of cash and term his way....
We are nearing the 10th anniversary of Bob McKenzie's legendary tweet: Trade is one for one: Adam Larsson for Taylor Hall. It's one of the most infamous moves in history, but it's also sexy as hell for hockey fans. A one-for-one swap! No waiting on picks and prospects for years. Just two GMs g...

The Miami Dolphins released Tyreek Hill, and he has yet to find a new team. That isn't likely to change anytime soon, it appears.
Entering the season, most prospect lists had 3-4 Phillies prospects listed amongst their top-100. Baseball America had three: shortstop Aidan Miller (No. 14), starting pitcher Andrew Painter (No. 32) and outfielder Justin Crawford (No. 75).

In early May last year, Bet MGM released their post-draft NFL Over/Under win totals for all 32 teams.

But such are […]

The Cincinnati Reds have officially made a swap at the hot corner. Eugenio Suárez is back after battling through an oblique issue, returning to the Reds exactly one month since the last time he played on April 22nd.
