Fantasy Hockey Life: Florida Panthers with Colby Guy

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Montreal Canadiens will be without Rafaël Harvey-Pinard for four months as he recovers from surgery. Meanwhile, the New York Islanders signed Oliver Wahlstrom but does that mean they won’t trade him? Trade talk surrounding Nazem Kadri out of Calgary has seemed to calmed down, and what is happening in broadcasting as rumors swirl that Jeff Marek has parted ways with Sportsnet?

Saint Louis, MO

On October 12, 2020, defenseman Alex Pietrangelo signed a seven-year deal worth an annual average salary (AAV) of $8.8 million with the Vegas Golden Knights after leaving the St.Louis Blues, where he played 12 seasons and won a Stanley Cup in 2018-19. This signing would remove a critical defensive leader from the Blues and leave them with few defensive options to take his place.

Chris Kreider’s ‘incredibly smart’ take on Rangers’ Reilly Smith addition

Philadelphia, PA

Since becoming a Franchise in 1967, the Flyers have seen many players pass through the organization. Some were great, some not so great, but, they all wore a number while playing with the club. However, not every number has been worn in the organization, 12 to be exact. Those numbers include 63, 67, 69, 73, 80, 83, 85, 90, 91, 95, 96, and of course 99. Let’s take a dive into Flyers history, and see the best Flyers jersey numbers and who wore them.

Chris Kreider and Reilly Smith will likely be linemates, but what many people may not actually know is that these two forwards actually know each other on a personal basis.

Buffalo, NY

There is a trio of teams in the Atlantic Division that have been in some long-term rebuilds. The Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red Wings, and Buffalo Sabres have all missed the playoffs for seven or more straight seasons, but as it stands today, none of those teams are a lock for a playoff spot in 2024-25. This will be a comparison of where the rebuilds stand today.

Comparing the Status of Senators, Sabres & Red Wings Rebuilds

The Buffalo Sabres will have a new-look powerplay in the 2024-2025 season, without bumper forward Jeff Skinner and under new coaching from head coach Lindy Ruff and assistant Seth Appert. The makeover will be welcomed, as the Sabres finished 29th overall in powerplay percentage last season. Buffalo hopes the combination of a new approach and new personnel will vault them back into the top 10, where they finished in 2022-2023.

Pittsburgh, PA

The Penguins pulled the biggest trade of the summer last season fairly late in the cycle with the early August acquisition of Erik Karlsson. 2024’s big late summer target is now officially open for business with the news that Columbus forward Patrik Laine has exited the NHLPA’s Player Assistance program and is available to talk to NHL teams about his future.

Ramblings: Changes In Goals and Assists at Different Strengths Over the Last Three Seasons – July 25

Today we are kicking off a mini-series focusing on helping us make smarter player decisions at the draft table. It is not enough to know how a player performed in the previous season, but we need to try to determine whether or not that level of performance was reasonable or unsustainable. We will go division by division and highlight some players who might be poised to bounce back, and some players who it might be better to avoid. To start us off, we will be reviewing players from the Pacific Division.

My top shelf news this weekend comes from Jeff Marek, and it has nothing to do with the Blackhawks. He announced on the ol’ Twitters on Friday that he is leaving Sportsnet after 13 years. If you’ve been coming here for more than… well, this morning, you’ve seen me reference his reporting and conversations he and Elliotte Friedman have had on their magnificent “32 Thoughts” podcast. The good news is Friedman tweeted that the podcast “will continue.” I’m fascinated to see what’s next for Jeff because he’s one of the absolute best.

Everyone knew it was coming. As soon as NHL Insiders started hinting at Stan Bowman potentially being an option to become the Edmonton Oilers GM, you knew it was going to happen. So when the Oilers actually made it official on Wednesday, I wasn’t caught off guard at all. NHL teams will forgive a lot if they think you’re the right person for the job, whether it’s a player, coach, or GM. We saw it backfire with Columbus and Mike Babcock last summer. Will the same happen to the Oilers this year?

NHL insider Max Bultman of The Athletic believes the Detroit Red Wings will look to buy out Justin Holl in the summer of 2025. Detroit signed Holl to a three-year $10.2 million deal on July 1, 2023, after his tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Holl was supposed to help stabilize the Red Wings defense but he struggled in his first year in Detroit.
