Nazem Kadri’s play-driving, edge, and center depth would fit exactly what the Minnesota Wild need. His current production and faceoff workload in Calgary also underline that he can still handle tough minutes down the middle. Danila Yurov has shored up some of the issues down the middle, but his play...

I’ve long enjoyed, every once in a while, sitting back and thinking about so many of the players who wore the blue and white of the Toronto Maple Leafs, especially those from the late 1950s through the 1970s.

The Vancouver Canucks , who are second-last in the NHL, four games under .500, and have already traded their franchise player, are going to be selling more this season. One main trade candidate they have that plenty of other teams seem to be looking at is Kiefer Sherwood. David Pagnotta said, "Tampa sniffed around a bit, but I don't think they're in the mix. Boston has been poking around. Dallas. The Canadiens." Sherwood's cap hit of $1.5 million AAV for the remainder of the season puts so man...

The injury bug continues to chomp on the Toronto Maple Leafs, as the team announced they've placed William Nylander on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. Nylander hits the IR, meanwhile the Leafs have recalled defenceman Marshall Rifai from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, as Chris Tanev is expected to confirm surgery this week on his groin, and could be done for the season.

I won't deny that I was very against the idea that both Drew Doughty and Travis Sanheim were named to the Canadian Olympic team on Wednesday, and I voiced those opinions on January 1 on The Hockey Show . I haven't changed my opinion on either player's inclusion on the roster when younger players like Owen Power, Jacob Chychrun, Noah Dobson, and Matthew Schafer are available to go and will be the future of the Canadian Olympic team long after both Doughty's and Sanheim's times have passed.

Auston Matthews sits atop Toronto Maple Leafs history. With two goals against the New York Islanders on Saturday night, Matthews tied, and surpassed Mats Sundin as the best goal scorer in franchise history. Matthews scored his 421st career goal against the Islanders, one a great feed from linemate Bobby McMann, setting up the one-timer.
