Former Montreal Canadiens coach and scout tragically passes away at 46

The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t have many options left in the free-agent market. If they still want to add depth to their forward corps, however, they might have an unexpected opportunity in front of them. In an article published on July 24, Jesse Courville-Lynch of The Hockey Writers urged...

Maple Leafs Urged to Sign Unexpected Cup-Champion Free Agent

It’s evident that the goaltending duo in the crease for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season is going to be Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz. Woll received an extension and Stolarz was brought in for more reassurance, stability and the potential to steal the starter role. Both goaltenders are going to form a tandem that could potentially be tough to beat.

Former Ottawa Senators Assistant Coach Bob Jones has lost his battle against ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was 54. Jones was a long-time friend of Detroit Red Wings assistant coach Bob Boughner. They played together as defensive partners on the Ontario Hockey League’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. They then coached together, helping the Windsor Spitfires to multiple Memorial Cup titles.

While evaluating the Metropolitan Division from the New Jersey Devils point of view, I realized the New York Islanders could be a sleeper in the division next season. Look, a lot of things need to go right for them. Patrick Roy needs to continue his development as a head coach, Anthony Duclair needs to fit, Maxim Tsyplakov needs to pan out, and Ilya Sorokin needs to return to form.

Now in the dog days of summer, the New Jersey Devils are counting down the days until the puck drops on 2024-25. The roster is 99% set, barring any shocking trades or retirements. New Jersey underwent a relatively large re-tool this offseason after a disappointing season. They said farewell to their coach, multiple goaltenders, and players who did not fit the tougher new look of the team. How much will these changes improve the Devils, and what will be the most impactful change?

As reported by Elliotte Friedman on Friday, Patrik Laine has been cleared to exit the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, marking a positive step for his health and well-being. Following the announcement, rumors about Laine being linked to the Montreal Canadiens quickly emerged. Is there anything to these trade rumors? Or, is this just the natural progression that comes with news that Laine can now talk to different NHL teams?

Veteran Rangers forward Chris Kreider caught the attention of many fans after making fun of Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis during the Shoulder Check Showcase. The Shoulder Check Showcase is a new but important event for hockey players and NHL fans across the continent. Inspired by the sudden loss of former Junior Rangers player Hayden Cole Thorsen, HT40 raises money for services for players struggling with their mental health. For its second year, a few members of the New York Rangers joined in for the event. Among these players were Chris Kreider, Jonathan Quick, and Matt Rempe.

What a year can make regarding the ever-changing landscape of hockey affiliations. During the summer of 2023, the Carolina Hurricanes lost their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliation with the Chicago Wolves and entered a working agreement with the Norfolk Admirals. The Admirals were their primary ECHL affiliate team before they switched over to become the official team for the Winnipeg Jets. The Hurricanes spent the 2023-24 season loaning their prospects out around the AHL, and ECHL, and even sending them back to Europe so their players could get playing time. That is a huge blow for teams hoping to see their players get the development they need.

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.

The Flyers are ahead of schedule right now, and at a point where they need to start thinking about putting together the team they think is going to give them the best chance to win over the next 5-7 years. Last year was a rebuild where they were just trying to see what they could get out of certain guys, and whether or not they are players the Flyers can build around for the future. Realistically, they probably thought they'd have a couple seasons of rebuilding which would give them more time to evaluate guys before handing out any crazy contracts. But after being able to bring Matvei Michkov over to North America a couple of seasons early, it's time to start locking all the pieces in place.
