The Chicago Blackhawks did not have a great 2023-24 NHL season. In fact, they finished as one of the worst teams in the league. This landed them the second overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, which they used on Artyom Levshunov. However, to add immediate support for Connor Bedard, they needed to be aggressive […]

Blackhawks’ 2024 free agency grade

Raleigh, NC

The hockey world is officially in the part of summer where the news slows down considerably after a hectic couple of weeks with the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and free agency being so close together. Now fans are just waiting nervously if their team will make any moves over the next few weeks before training camps start in September. However, the 2024-25 schedules are officially out so that will be a topic of discussion for some fanbases.

StormWatch: A Way-Too-Early Roster Prediction for the Hurricanes

Seattle, WA

The Seattle Kraken were active in free agency on July 1, as they build back towards a playoff appearance. Perhaps their biggest addition came on the blue line, adding defenseman Brandon Montour. The defender signed a seven-year contract with the Kraken, carrying a $7.25 million cap hit. The deal comes with a full no-trade clause for the first three years, followed by a partial no-trade clause for the final four years.

Last year at about this time, I wrote a piece arguing that the Ottawa Senators needed to be bigger, badder but mostly meaner to make the playoffs. Just as Toronto Maple Leafs general manager (GM) Brad Treliving had done last summer by adding Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi and Ryan Reaves to his squad, I made the case that then-Senators’ GM Pierre Dorion needed to “add more snot” to his roster. He didn’t and that’s one of the reasons the Senators hit the golf links early this spring.

When general manager Bill Armstrong was hired in 2020, it was the dawn of a new era for Armstrong and the Arizona Coyotes. After several trades that saw Armstrong acquire an abundance of draft capital, those picks are slowly becoming players in the NHL. Since the 2021 draft, Armstrong has made a total of 42 selections, which also includes eight first-round selections. That’s where the Logan Cooley’s, Dylan Guenther’s, and Dmitri Simashev’s have come from.

To paraphrase Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, being in charge of a team with a fan base as passionate as the Edmonton Oilers can be the best of times. Unfortunately, it can also be the worst of times. In a market like Edmonton, moves are scrutinized and parsed through like unknown hieroglyphics in the Da Vinci Code. Therefore, with that in mind, upon announcing he was moving on, here were Ken Holland‘s three best and worst moves as Edmonton Oilers General Manager.

Patrik Laine trade talk will have to wait until the Columbus Blue Jackets player leaves the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

Stamkos says Predators must believe they can win Stanley Cup

The Nashville Predators were one of the busiest teams in the early days of NHL free agency, landing three of the top players available in forwards Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, as well as defenseman Brady Skjei.That trio will take an already strong Predators team that made the playoffs in 2023-24 and help make it a bonafide Stanley Cup contender going into the 2024-25 season. There are a lot of attractive things about playing in Nashville for free agents, ranging from a strong fan base, a fun city and a team that is consistently competitive. General manager Barry Trotz pointed out...
