The odds seemed to be stacked against the New York Rangers going into the 2013 NHL Draft. Team executives had the luxury of staying close to home that year, with the league’s 51st edition of the draft being held at the Prudential Center, home of the area-rival New Jersey Devils. That, however, appeared to be

The Philadelphia Flyers started their offseason reasonably quickly by making a three-way trade with the Los Angeles Kings and Columbus Blue Jackets, involving defenceman Ivan Provorov and goaltender Cal Petersen. They have also let it be known that they are willing to move goaltender Carter Hart, who is 24 and was once believed to be
A couple of bold statements were made a while back regarding the next general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs and who the starting goalie will be following that move, both connected to the Calgary Flames. Eric Francis made the statement, “A few weeks ago, I said not only is Brad Treliving going to be
One of the biggest holes in the Colorado Avalanche lineup in 2022-23 was the center spot on the second line. They never really got the answer they were looking for at the position, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Following the team’s run to the 2022 Stanley Cup, Colorado’s cap situation meant they
The Montreal Canadiens didn’t necessarily underpay for Cole Caufield. It’s hard to argue that when the Habs re-signed him to an eight-year, $62.8 million extension ($7.85 million hit per season) and his best offensive season yielded a relatively modest 36 points, albeit in just 46 games. However, based on his superstar potential, there’s a good
The Florida Panthers are headed to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final. As a result, they’ve drawn comparisons to teams of the past. The Edmonton Oilers reached the Final in 2006 but lost in Game 7 to the Carolina Hurricanes. In 2012, the Los Angeles Kings went on a historic Cinderella run, becoming the first eighth-seed
With Gerard Gallant’s tenure ending after just two seasons behind the New York Rangers bench, general manager Chris Drury has started interviewing candidates for the head coaching vacancy. Per Arthur Staple of The Athletic, Peter Laviolette and Mike Babcock were interviewed first (from “What we’re hearing about the Rangers’ coaching search as interviews have begun,’
Welcome to The Hockey Writers’ 2023 Offseason Trade Targets series for the Detroit Red Wings. During it, we will be looking at a handful of players from each NHL team who the Red Wings should consider pursuing this summer. The next installment of the offseason trade targets series takes a look at the Pacific Division
After another disappointing elimination in the playoffs, members of both the team and management group appear to bare the weight very heavily. On May 15, 2023, the Toronto Maple Leafs held their media availability, and it was yet another year of the same quotes. As well as another year of questions surrounding the team’s core.
There’s a buzz circling the Toronto Maple Leafs as they head into an offseason filled with uncertainty. Major questions require answers and it does sound like president Brenden Shanahan will address some of them later this week. Change is inevitable in a hard salary cap world, the Maple Leafs know this better than anyone. General
With the NHL Lottery behind us and the landing spot for generational prospect Connor Bedard all but a sure thing, the rest of the teams in the lottery will have about a month and a half to fill out their draft boards. It is now time for scouts and other members of the front office
In March, I wrote about four players on the New York Rangers who won’t be back next season. I want to revisit the topic now that their season ended in a Game-7 loss to the New Jersey Devils on May 1. New York has committed plenty of cap space to core players such as Artemi
With their series against the Seattle Kraken tied 2-2, the Colorado Avalanche got some less-than-stellar lineup news ahead of their Game 5 tilt, taking place on April 26 in Denver. Both Cale Makar and Valeri Nichushkin will be unavailable for the contest, but for different reasons. While Makar is only out for the night, courtesy
The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to look much different next season, on and off the ice. Ownership made sweeping changes to the management team just weeks ago and the Penguins roster heads into a very uncertain offseason which will see a number of different players brought in and current Pens shipped out.

It’s been a long road for the Chicago Blackhawks, in this first season where they’ve fully committed to a rebuild. General manager Kyle Davidson was very transparent about his plan, but it’s been a very long time since this team has been in rebuild mode. Very few fans remember, or were even around, when the
I heard someone say the other day, “The Seattle Kraken made the playoffs for the first time in franchise history!” While this is true, let’s take a step back. Yes, the Kraken are playoff bound, but they haven’t even completed their second season in the NHL yet. That said, what a second season it has
For years, Mikko Rantanen has been one of the most consistent offensive players for the Colorado Avalanche. That consistency is still there, but this season isn’t quite the same. The 26-year-old Finnish forward is turning in one of the all-time great seasons by an Avalanche player. His hat trick on April 6 made him the
As the 2022-23 season winds down, the Detroit Red Wings find themselves at a crossroad. Detroit either held or was within striking distance of a playoff spot for most of the year. Then, they sold big time at the trade deadline – dealing Filip Hronek, Tyler Bertuzzi, Oskar Sundqvist, and Jakub Vrana. The conflict of
