The Philadelphia Flyers are firmly stuck in a position that no team truly wants to be in. With the Olympics going on and weeks away from the NHL resuming again, the Flyers are eight points out of a playoff spot with several teams in competition. But, they aren’t bad enough to truly sink to the bottom for one of the top draft picks this June. With that in mind, what can they even do as the trade deadline approaches on March 6? Well, it could involve trading Owen Tippett. On the latest...
One of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest needs is a third-line centre. Boone Jenner is one of the best options available for that role ahead of March 6th’s trade deadline.

Despite Danny Briere and Rick Tocchet’s comments on how this is a ‘young team’, the Flyers’ reluctance to consistently play their young prospects shows that they might be more focused on short-term stability than long-term growth. The Philadelphia Flyers have undoubtedly been struggling — losing 12 of their last 15 — and during a skid like this, you’d expect the young guys to be getting heavy minutes, right? Well, that hasn’t been the case. The kids aren’t alright With The Offsp...
There’s strength in numbers. For the Czech men’s hockey team, that strength is their netminders, not the slim pool of players from which they select them.

Pierre LeBrun said, "I think there's a chance that his contract gets moved i...

The Edmonton Oilers are looking for some bottom-6 help, but more specifically, a player who knows his role and is comfortable in his role. A third line center that fits these would be a very good add for the Oilers, and at the same time, be able to move Andrew Mangiapane to free up a roster spot and cap space for the rest of this season and next. The Vancouver Canucks appear to have a great trade target that the Oilers should be interested in, and that's Teddy Blueger. He is in the last year o...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have an interesting week and a bit coming out of the Olympic break as they sit six points back of a playoff spot and have decisions to make about their roster for this season and in preparation of the future.
