On July 21, the Seattle Kraken finally added faces to their team, selecting 30 players from around the NHL, including All-Star Jordan Eberle and former Norris Trophy winner Mark Giordano.

It’s been a busy offseason for Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams so far, and it’s not quite time for him to kick off his shoes and enjoy the summer just yet. Adams still has one major task looming over his head this offseason: finding a suitor who’d trade for Sabres captain Jack Eichel. Trade
On the eve of the free-agent frenzy, the Washington Capitals made the least surprising signing by inking captain Alex Ovechkin to a five-year deal worth $47.5 million, likely keeping the Russian star with the team through the end of his NHL career.

In an exciting couple of hours prior to the expansion draft trade freeze, several trades were made that could have major effects on the landscape of the NHL. Perhaps the biggest move of the day saw longtime Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis sent to the Philadelphia Flyers in a three-team trade. With Viktor Arvidsson already
The Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft is fast approaching and the NHLs 32nd franchise will be selecting the framework of their first-ever roster. The rules for how teams need to approach this draft will be identical to the previous Vegas Golden Knights Draft held in 2017. Here at The Hockey Writers, we have taken a look

The Los Angeles Kings had a tough time this season in the Honda West Division; the team finished with a record of 21-28-7, totaling 49 points.

Over the 94 seasons of New York Rangers hockey, only Harry Howell, Doug Harvey, and Brian Leetch had managed to win the prestigious Norris Trophy, awarded annually to the league’s top defenseman.
