Toronto came into this homestand looking like a team that might add, but the slide has flipped the conversation quickly. With the Maple Leafs falling further out of the wild card picture and the deadline clock getting louder, league chatter is starting to sound like it might be time for the team to start considering selling. The vibe around the market is shifting toward Toronto selling pieces, and the longer the skid lingers, the more obvious that path becomes. Maple Leafs seller...

The Bruins may have been the final team taken out of the bid for Rasmus Andersson when he went to the Vegas Golden Knights , which shows that Boston is trying to make additions, whether that be a rental, players with term, or rental ...
The eyes of the hockey world were on Toronto this weekend. That’s not unusual, because it's the home of the league’s most important team and whenever they’re not on screen, all the other teams should be asking “Where are the Maple Leafs?” But this time, there were a few specific reasons.

On Sunday, it was a rare afternoon game, this one featuring a visit from the league’s...

With Alexander Zharovsky’s rise in the KHL, I reached out to an old friend and colleague, Ivan Letyagin, to get his input on the Montreal Canadiens prospect’s situation. “Zharovsky is a very talented player, playing now in my homeland city in Ufa,” Letyagin begins. “His talent and potential are so huge that I would say that there have not been any such hockey players in Russia for a long time.” There is a slight pause before Letyagin moves on to try to compare him to other top talent...
