Blackhawks Recall Nick Lardis from Rockford
In the wake of Connor Bedard ‘s injury last night , the Blackhawks are recalling Nick Lardis from Rockford to hopefully help the offense.

Lardis’ 26 points lead all AHL rookies entering Saturday’s action. Originally a third-round pick (No. 67) by the Blackhawks in 2023, Lardis broke records last year when he scored 71 goals in 65 reg...

V̅DCCI On A Big Day
I found this Stuart Skinner facial expression funny and appropriate today for a number of reasons. I'll get to the reason for the title in a second, but the biggest reason was because the man making the facial expression was traded in what was being described as a "blockbuster" trade by pundits hours before an actual blockbuster trade happened. Perhaps we should stop throwing around hyperbole? At this point, everyone is asking why this trade was made, but I think we need to look deeper than th...

Brett Kulak deserves his flowers for his time with the Oilers
On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers traded Brett Kulak in a package to land Tristan Jarry. It’s certainly a bittersweet trade. As frustrating as Stuart Skinner was at times, he was still an incredibly likable player who was great at his best, as well as durable. Kulak was a cap casualty and replaced by a…

Devils Rumors: 2 Players With Trade Protection Who Could Be Dealt
The New Jersey Devils were one of the teams in the mix and that made an offer for Quinn Hughes, but the Minnesota Wild landed the star defenseman. That doesn't mean the Devils aren't going to continue trying to upgrade, but there are two players they can do without who are taking up a lot of cap space. Unfortunately, they have trade protection, so it's tougher to move them. Elliotte Friedman said, "Ondrej Palat is the one I think a lot of people are talking about, but he has protection, and I ...

3 Trade Destinations For Predators' Marchessault
The Nashville Predators are tied for second-last in the NHL and it doesn't look good moving forward. They have movable pieces and even if the standings are pretty close, they have to accept defeat and move on like the Vancouver Canucks are doing. To do that, one of the players that should be traded is Jonathan Marchessault. Nick Kypreos said, "Jonathan Marchessault is...a guy that comes a lot cheaper than Stamkos, and I think there's a tremendous amount of appeal to add more scoring with a guy...

Bedard suffered a right shoulder injury in the 3-2 loss to the Blues, as he was checked by Blues center Brayden Schenn on a faceoff with 0.8 seconds left. Blackhawks' head coach Jeff Blashill called it a 'freak accident' after the game, which makes it seem like his shoulder popped out of place thanks to the dangerous pu...
