With the St. Louis Blues sliding toward a deadline sell-off, the Detroit Red Wings are getting linked to one of the steadier names that could actually move: veteran right shot defenseman Justin Faulk. Detroit’s blue line has had moments, but the second pair has felt like the spot that needs a real stabilizer, and Faulk checks a lot of the boxes for a team trying to stay in the race without gambling on a pure rental.

The 2026 NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the Hawks’ roster looks fairly different as compared to earlier in the season. We have yet to see three of the acquired players play for the team, but enough dust has settled by now to judge the totality of the moves. Let’s get to it […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Another day, another drama for the New York Jets.
