Saint Louis, MO

On Monday of last week, the St. Louis Blues gave offer sheets to two Edmonton Oiler restricted free agents Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. The deals were different to each player. It came down to the wire, but a decision on Broberg is now final. The Oilers decided not to match the offer sheet of either player. Now, Broberg receives a two-year contract, with an average annual value of $4,580,917 with the St. Louis Blues. This means the Oilers receive a second-round draft choice as compensation. If it was for just a dollar more, the next tier of competition would have kicked-in. This would have gave the Oilers a first and third-round pick instead.

Two years after he had left the league, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog stated that his return to the NHL was coming sooner rather than later. Gabriel was undoubtedly a key player for the Colorado Avalanche. After playing with the team for more than a decade, he had the opportunity as the captain to lead the team to victory in the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals, taking down the then-reigning champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in six games.

Pittsburgh, PA

The Winnipeg Jets have decided to trade one of their better prospects. There have been ongoing rumours surrounding Rutger McGroarty’s for sometime, and with this trade, it seems his wish came true. The Pittsburgh Penguins, no doubt in an attempt to inject some youth into their collective roster at the forward position were willing to make a move on prospect. However, Pittsburgh also had to give up a decent NHL prospect and one of the better ones in their own right. Going back the other way, is the Pens 2023 14th overall selection Brayden Yager.

San Francisco, CA

According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Giants have expressed interest in signing veteran catcher Elias Diaz. The news comes right after the team placed starting catcher Patrick Bailey on the injured list with a strained oblique. In Bailey’s absence, San Francisco will turn to Curt Casali and Jakson Reetz behind the plate. However, both offer little offensively and fit best in backup or organizational depth roles. With the Giants clinging to its postseason odds, signing Diaz and hip upside might be necessary to avoid falling out of the National League Wild Card race.

Who has the toughest division in college football? Whether you were listening to Finebaum, PTI, or having a spirited conversation at your morning tailgate, it was always a fun and passionate debate. SEC East was never really part of that conversation. Sure, Georiga and Florida have had runs of being the elite of college football. However, as a whole, the SEC East has been mainly considered the “little brother” to the SEC West. We’ll discuss “big brother” in another article.

The New Orleans Saints have not made the playoffs since Drew Brees decided to hang up the cleats, and NFL analyst Colin Cowherd doesn’t expect that to change any time soon. Despite Brees’ absence, the Saints future looked bright when head coach Sean Payton and Jameis Winston got off to a 5-2 start in 2021. Unfortunately, the quarterback suffered a season-ending ACL injury and the team collapsed with Trevor Semien, Tayson Hill, and Ian Book running the offense. Payton retired following the season, allowing Dennis Allen another shot as a head coach.
