Hard to Handle, James’ Revenge, Rookie Impact, Scouting Chicago, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Ryan Greene dusted off his best Chris Robinson impression last night after scoring the Blackhawks’ only goal before the skills competition decided a 2-1 loss to the Lightning. “I think we’re a tough team to handle, and we’re just trying to keep that going moving forward.” He’s right — to an extent. What we’ve seen at time this season is the Blackhawks can be a really hard to to play against. They’re fast. They’re smart. And they’re developing chemistry. But they’re also still you...

4 Potential Trade Destinations for Rangers' Vincent Trocheck

The New York Rangers have been discussing multiple trades the past few weeks and one Ranger who is drawing the most trade interest is two-way center, Vincent Trocheck Trocheck, 32, is one of the few Rangers' trade candidates who doesn't have a full no-movement clause. He holds a 12-team no-trade list so there's certainly some say in the matter, but GM Chris Drury has some options if he wants to pull the trigger. Trocheck's appeared in 38 games this season, scoring 11 times and adding 21 points...

The Oilers are playing like they hate the regular season

With how the Edmonton Oilers are playing, they believe the regular season is too long.  It’s tedious. Annoying. Although silent, I’m sure there’s some contempt.  “We have to play 82 of these damn games?” someone might have said in the dressing room.  Yes, fellas – 82 of them. Largely, I agree. Regular seasons are loooooong. …

Maple Leafs Still Team To Watch For Devil's Defenseman

Things continue not to be great for the Toronto Maple Leafs on defense as Chris Tanev should miss the remainder of the regular season at least and there were recent injury scares for Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Brandon Carlo. The defense has to be upgraded, especially since there isn't a high chance the top-6 right now will even stay healthy for the rest of the season and into playoffs when games get rougher. A right-shot defenseman who has offensive capabilities, defensive capabilities, or both ...

Mitch Marner on return to Toronto: 'Don't have to talk about it anymore'

Mitch Marner had this game circled on his calendar ever since the 2025-26 NHL schedule came out, and from all accounts, he's relieved it's finally past him. Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights made their way to Toronto to faceoff against the Maple Leafs, in what was Marner's first time back to the city since being traded last summer. It was a messy divorce with a ton of emotions involved, and you could tell from warmup, the crowd at Scotiabank Arena was going to be all over him. Prior to warmu...

NHL Rumors: New Suitor Emerging In Dougie Hamilton Sweepstakes

The Boston Bruins are back in the mix for a true top-pair, right-shot upgrade, and Dougie Hamilton is the name to watch as the deadline noise builds.  David Pagnotta has noted Boston’s interest in adding a high-end right-handed defenseman after their run at Rasmus Andersson hit a snag, and that has opened the reunion door with the former Bruins first-rounder (9th overall), even if the history and the price tag makes it a bit tricky. The 32-year-old has struggled this season, with five goa...

Jets fire multiple assistant coaches

The Jets have fired multiple assistant coaches according to reports. None of this comes as a major surprise. It is common for a rookie head coach to make changes to his staff after the first year, particularly when that first year goes poorly. The Jets also find themselves looking for a defensive coordinator after Steve […]

Sharks Not Eager To Pay What Sherwood Wants For Next Contract

The San Jose Sharks ' move to acquire Kiefer Sherwood may end up being solely a rental move, which may or may not work out in favour of them. Sherwood was a highly sought after forward that was acquired for two second-round picks and a defensive prospect. The Sharks avoided paying a first-round pick, which was a win to start. Sherwood has scored 36 goals over his last two seasons (112 games) and hit a ton of players. He can also play on the power play and kill penalties. He is a strong Swiss a...

NHL Rumors: New Canucks Trade Candidate Emerging

The Vancouver Canucks are officially open for business, and one name starting to pick up some steam is Nils Hoglander .  Insider chatter on Donnie & Dhali says Vancouver is receiving trade calls on the 25-year-old winger, who has been stuck in a fourth-line rut and looks like a prime change of scenery candidate if the front office leans harder into its hybrid reset. Why Hoglander’s Canucks fit is getting shaky The numbers are doing him no favors right now.  After missing the firs...

NHL Mock Draft Season Has Arrived! (Let’s Talk About Projected Blackhawks Picks)

As we inch closer to the end of January, the excitement builds for NHL players to return to the Olympics. But, for fans of teams that don’t have any/many players headed to Italy for the Games, it’s also a fun time to start talking about two other subjects: the trade deadline, and breaking down mock drafts. I’ve been writing mock drafts throughout the season ( my most recent ), so don’t worry about my specific picks. We’ll have a fresh on in the coming days (and more during the Olympic bre...

Islanders Matinee News: Sabres are good now, Bo’s back

The Islanders are back from the road and primed for that classic “first game after the trip” letdown, although several games on their Western sojourn were a letdown, so hopefully they don’t feel like they can ease into things.
