NHL Cap Court: Do William Nylander or Adrian Kempe have bad contracts? Does anyone?
It’s been a while since we’ve broken out the Cap Court gimmick. The idea here is that we pick five players and try to figure out if they have bad contract from a team perspective. Too much money, too much term, that sort of thing. We make the case for and against, and find a few comparables to help us. Then we deliver a verdict. Nice and simple. Or at least it’s supposed to be. But now that the salary cap’s upper limit is growing again, and growing quickly, does anyone have a bad contract anym...
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins leads by example, Connor Murphy’s first as an Oiler, and a Leon Draisaitl-sized hole
Despite beating the Predators on Sunday night, the big story from the evening was Leon Draisaitl leaving the game after a hit along the boards, which clearly left more damage than we might have initially anticipated.

Obviously, that's a massive moment in international and US hockey history, and all of the important pieces from that game went to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toront...
