Heading into this offseason, there were few notable free agent defencemen, so most expected John Klingberg – one of the game’s better offensive blueliners for over half a decade – to get paid handsomely. However, now two weeks into free agency, the 29-year-old remains without a contract. Related: Meet the New Kraken: Defenseman Brogan Rafferty

Five years may seem like a ways away, but lots can change for better or for worse with a team or organization. The Edmonton Oilers hope to still be at the top throughout that time. Injuries, bad trades, bad signings, and young players not playing to expectations can all be major factors. The Oilers have
Given the circus that was the opening of 2022 NHL Free Agency, many could be excused for thinking that the dust had settled for the summer. Even though a number of significant unrestricted free agents (UFA) are still available, attention should be shifted to the plethora of talented restricted free agents (RFA) still unsigned for
The New York Rangers picked up a shiny new toy in second-line center Vincent Trocheck and got rid of scapegoat defenseman Patrik Nemeth this week, at least temporarily alleviating depression amongst the fan base over the loss of several key players from last season’s run to the Eastern Conference Final. Yet when the excitement over
The Edmonton Oilers have a big offseason ahead of them with a number of free agents they must decide what to do with as well as more than one trade they must pull off. In the midst of all that, the biggest need is finding a starting goaltender with the future of Mike Smith up
Bruce Cassidy‘s name was not expected to be part of the offseason coaching carousel when the Vegas Golden Knights decided to part ways with Pete DeBoer, now the Dallas Stars’ new head coach. So you can imagine that finding someone who, as general manager Kelly McCrimmon put it, “embodies so many of the traits we
Immortality in the hockey world comes in many forms. Whether it be a game-defining moment in the Stanley Cup Final, a career stat line that leaves no room for argument, or when a player is the face of a franchise and sets the standard for greatness. Ryan Miller was that type of player for the
We might be getting a (slightly) better idea of who the Vegas Golden Knights are considering for their next head coach, but they certainly don’t appear to be in any hurry to anoint the new bench boss. With the New York Islanders tabbing Lane Lambert, the Montreal Canadiens taking the interim tag off of Martin
A number of kids who grew up local to Canada’s capital city have something of a shared memory. Maybe a Friday or a Saturday night, just shortly after 10:00PM. Their favourite team, the Ottawa Senators just won. Pizza coupon in hand, they were whisked by their parents through the snaking parking lots in Kanata. The
The Tampa Bay Lightning find themselves deep into the playoffs once again, led by their core group of players and their ability to elevate their play once the games really matter. It hasn’t mattered how the Lightning have gotten themselves into the playoffs, only that they make the most of their opportunity once they are
It wasn’t long after the New Jersey Devils’ season ended that Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek connected them to Minnesota Wild winger Kevin Fiala. As most know by now, the Wild face a cap crunch this summer with the dead cap hits of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter set to leave the organization with $12,743,588 in dead money after
The Florida Panthers have had arguably their best season since the ‘Year of the Rat’ in 1996. With a record of 58-18-6, 122 points, a Presidents’ Trophy, and their first playoff series win since June 1996, Florida has reinserted itself as a powerhouse in the NHL. But a lot of that success has been thanks
No player has been better than Connor McDavid in these 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. That said, perhaps no player has been hotter than Evander Kane. Certainly, no player has scored more goals as he leads the playoffs with 12, two coming in the Game 4 win by the Edmonton Oilers over the Calgary Flames on
After a strong season where the Los Angeles Kings took a big step forward in their rebuild, making the playoffs and taking the Edmonton Oilers to Game 7, fans and the organization are optimistic about the next season.

After 31 years, the Battle of Alberta returned to the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Wednesday (May 18) with an absolutely wild game at the Scotiabank Saddledome between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames that packed three decades worth of craziness into 60 minutes. In the teams’ first postseason meeting since April 16, 1991, Calgary jumped
“The Second Round” is a phrase that is spoken about in hushed tones by Colorado Avalanche fans in recent years, as many Avs faithful hope to appease the hockey gods and allow for a return to playoff success they enjoyed in decades past. Colorado hasn’t advanced past the second round since the 2009-10 season, but
Just a few years ago, the idea of the Chicago Blackhawks removing the captaincy from Jonathan Toews would’ve seemed unfathomable. While still unlikely heading into 2022-23, Toews has one year remaining on his current contract before becoming an unrestricted free agent next summer. Though, of course, he could sign an extension and remain a Blackhawk
They’re the greatest two words in sports, and for the first time in more than three decades, Game 7 is going to be on the marquee in Oil Country.
