The Seattle Kraken have traded forward Calle Jarnkrok to the Calgary Flames in exchange for the Florida Panthers’ 2022 second-round pick, a 2023 third-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round pick as first reported by Chris Johnston of TSN and further confirmed by Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. The Kraken will be retaining 50 percent of his
2022 Trade Deadline
The NHL trade deadline is six days away and despite little activity so far, there expects to be a flurry of activity by 3 o’clock on Monday. Several teams, including the Boston Bruins, are out searching to upgrade their rosters, while some teams are willing to listen on some players that are in the final
The San Jose Sharks are firmly out of a playoff spot. Likely to miss the postseason for the third time in a row, the team will hope to continue stockpiling future assets heading into the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline. The deadline can be tricky. General manager (GM) Doug Wilson, assistant GM Joe Will, and president
Ken Holland and the Edmonton Oilers are going to have a busy next couple of months that is also very important for the future of the team, starting now as the trade deadline is just over a week away. Even if the Oilers can’t or don’t bring in anybody significant to help the team, it
We’re less than two weeks away from the 2022 trade deadline, and the Carolina Hurricanes remain in an enviable position in the landscape of the NHL. The team has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 39-12-5, a relatively comfortable lead in the Metropolitan Division, and sit behind only Thursday night’s opponent, the Colorado
The Florida Panthers are one of the most dominant teams in the NHL. They sit atop the Atlantic Division with a record of 37-13-5, totaling 79 points. Furthermore, they own one of the best offenses in the league, ranking first in goals per game with 4.09, and shots per game with 37. Despite the amazing
In this edition of Los Angeles Kings News & Rumors, I’ll be discussing the recent injuries to the team’s lineup, some trade talk surrounding the team, and a check-in on the Ontario Reign. Injuries Hit the Kings In Friday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Kings forward Brendan Lemieux exited the game after taking a
The New York Islanders are having a disappointing season, to say the least. The team entered this season with Stanley Cup aspirations but unfortunately, have only won 21 of their 52 games and remain on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. As a result, Lou Lamoriello and the Islanders front office will likely
The Winnipeg Jets avoided disaster Sunday and Tuesday with a pair of wins over the NHL’s two worst teams, but certainly teetered on the edge of the cliff in both. Jets Needed Third-Period Comeback to Defeat NHL’s Worst Team On Sunday, the Jets rolled into Glendale for an afternoon contest against the soon-to-be-evicted Arizona Coyotes,
After a dismal start to the Anaheim Ducks‘ homestand continued with a 4-0 loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday night, the writing is on the wall— it’s time to sell. It’s not a surprise, considering most preseason projections had them ranked near the bottom of the Pacific Division. It’s also not a surprise
The Pittsburgh Penguins were blown out by the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night as the Devils lit the lamp early and often in a 6-1 victory. The Penguins have now lost three in a row, and while some of the attention is turning toward their crease, one player who has been generating some trade
The Philadelphia Flyers are all but out of the playoff race this season and have to think about selling off their assets and upcoming unrestricted free agents to help build their team for next season and beyond. That includes possible players like Claude Giroux, Rasmus Ristolainen, Justin Braun, Martin Jones, Derick Brassard, and more. That
TSN analyst Jamie McLennan recently stated that the Boston Bruins could be a dark horse in the Marc-Andre Fleury sweepstakes. He noted Tuukka Rask’s sudden retirement may spark them to look for another goaltender, and there isn’t a better one currently available than the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. Although it would be fantastic to see
For the first time in a while, the Boston Bruins have a more pressing need than a second-line scoring threat. Don’t worry, they still need that, but the biggest hole the team must address is a surprising lack of bite in their lineup. This is not a piece arguing for a return to the ’80s
The Winnipeg Jets have a record of 19-17-7 and are in sixth place in the Central Division. They’ve underachieved after being declared in win-now mode last offseason. Paul Maurice resigned as head coach on Dec. 17, while veteran forward Blake Wheeler was on injured reserve (IR) from mid-December until Jan. 22 with a lower-body injury. He’s only
The Edmonton Oilers are in a difficult spot when it comes to their salary cap this year and beyond. That means, despite some contracts ending after this season, the team will have to trade some players that make too much and just don’t contribute as much as they should. This season, players like Tyson Barrie,
In this edition of Los Angeles Kings news & rumors, I’ll be discussing Elliotte Friedman’s comments on his conversation with Rob Blake, a check on the Ontario Reign, and Adrian Kempe’s All-Star game performance. Friedman on Brown & Trades On the Feb. 4th episode of the 32 thoughts podcast, Friedman had a short section discussing
After winning just three of their last 10 games, the San Jose Sharks are slowly starting to fall out of the playoff race. They now have a 22-20-4 record and have dropped to sixth in the Pacific Division. Although they only trail the Calgary Flames by four points for the second wild-card spot, the Flames
