Adam Larsson has been a good Edmonton Oiler for a long time now.

Edmonton should be looking to make several strong
Free Agents
With the 2020-21 season coming to an end, teams will need to start planning their offseason soon.

The club has a number of key players on the verge of unrestricted free agency (UFA) and several more who can become restricted free agents (RFAs). But the most important negotiation of all may be an extension for a
The Pittsburgh Penguins are built to win now, but that doesn’t mean their management team can’t prepare themselves for the future. Pens general manager Jim Rutherford has been known to never shy away from a bold move or two, and if you ask the veteran executive, his team is preparing themselves for what’s to come.
With NHL camps just around the corner, and a lot of veteran players still looking for homes for the upcoming season, there will be some interesting signings in the next few days. That said, Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara signing with the Washington Capitals certainly caused a stir on Wednesday. He signed a one-year, $795,000
The Toronto Maple Leafs had one clear goal this offseason: to get bigger, meaner, and tougher to play against. General manager Kyle Dubas made that clear during an early offseason Zoom call and quickly followed through, adding Wayne Simmonds, Joe Thornton, and Zach Bogosian in free agency, all on the cheap.

It’s no secret that the Colorado Avalanche are an exciting hockey team to watch with a loaded roster filled with talent, in turn making them playoff regulars.

The first month of free agency has been quiet for the Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney. He has re-signed some young players and dipped into the free-agent pool on the second day when he signed forward Craig Smith away from the Nashville Predators to a three-year, $9.3 million deal. Sweeney has $6,657,686 of
The Los Angeles Kings kicked off the 2020 offseason with a bang at the NHL Entry Draft. They selected a top prospect in Quinton Byfield, and they traded for Lias Andersson who has a high ceiling – if he reaches his potential. Following the draft, LA has done very little in free agency, despite having
As we await the NHL’s plans for the upcoming season and with our solid understanding of the Buffalo Sabres’ roster, we can look towards the 2021 free-agent market and who may be a good organizational fit.

The Calgary Flames management staff, led by general manager Brad Treliving, has done a good job this offseason. They had one of the best drafts of any NHL team and followed that up by signing the biggest goaltender on the market, Jacob Markstrom. They added a big-name player in Chris Tanev, and recently signed Dominik
The Calgary Flames signed yet another former Vancouver Canuck Saturday in Josh Leivo. This marks the fourth player the Flames have signed who was a member of the Canucks last season, the others being Jacob Markstrom, Chris Tanev and Louis Domingue.

These unique circumstances have made this free agency period more entertaining and with many significant moves being made by teams that need to meet
Since the modern-day Ottawa Senators returned to the NHL in 1992, they have not typically been very active in free agency. The majority of their signings have gone under the radar.

It’s been just over two weeks since NHL free agency opened up and the Nashville Predators have been quite active. General manager (GM) David Poile promised changes after the team was eliminated from the postseason by the Arizona Coyotes and changes have been made.

It’s an unusual fall offseason, and New York Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello is trying to keep the core of his team together, for the most part anyway. He has already traded defenseman Devon Toews to the Colorado Avalanche for a second-round pick in 2021 and 2022. Make no mistake though, the offseason is far
Despite the New York Islanders’ recent success, it’s a difficult time for the team.
