Pending Free-Agent Bobby McMann Linked to 4 Teams
Free agency starts in just six weeks as there's going to be a number of players receiving hefty pay raises on their new deal. The salary cap is going up and the crop of talent this summer isn't as game-breaking as usual, so a player like Bobby McMann is someone to circle as a forward ready to secure the bag. McMann split last season between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Seattle Kraken and posted career highs with 29 goals and 46 points. McMann's combination of speed, skill, and size make him one...
Toronto Maple Leafs trading goaltender this offseason
John Chayka doesn't have much choice, he's going to be trading one of his goaltenders this offseason. The freshly minted Maple Leafs general manager is as trade happy as anyone in the league and in order to shore up the Leafs defense core, and find some more depth up front, Chayka's going to have to pull from an area of strength and move one of his goaltenders. The Maple Leafs have four goalies under contract for next season and right now, the most likely to not be traded is Joseph Woll. He's ...

Bottom Six Minutes: Alex Newhook’s astounding playoffs
Following the disappointing night that was game six at the Bell Centre, the Montreal Canadiens had one more chance in game seven against the Buffalo Sabres. Everything seemed to be going according to plan after one period, with them playing well, and opening up a two-goal lead going into the second. But the second and third periods were dominated by Buffalo, the worst lead in hockey was eventually erased, and the Habs essentially held on to get to overtime. Then, it happened. For the seco...

He’s a leader on this team....
