San Jose Sharks General Manager Mike Grier has made a lot of trades and signings, highlighted by Erik Karlsson. Let’s see how the Sharks have fared since he took over. When Grier was hired, the Sharks needed a rebuild. He stripped down the roster, began to acquire assets, and gave younger players a chance to play. In stripping down the roster, he shipped off many players that were loved by fans. But were these the right moves, or did Grier not make the trades worthwhile?

Evaluating the San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier’s Tenure So Far

Free agency’s busy season has come and gone and the boring part of the offseason has begun. While most players have found their new homes or signed new contracts for the 2024-25 season, some players are still looking for a place to play heading into the new campaign. One player who was looking for a new deal and hoping for a fresh start elsewhere was forward Max Comtois, who was coming off of a stint in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Chicago Wolves. While he was holding out for a new contract and another chance in the NHL, it seems as though he’ll have to wait a bit longer because he has decided to sign a contract with Dynamo Moskva in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Unfortunately, it seems like there was no interest for Comtois in North America, and he’s going to try his luck overseas for at least one season.

The New York Islanders all but put a bow on the offseason when they re-signed Simon Holmstrom. They still have to deal with Oliver Wahlstrom, who heads to arbitration but any big move at this point seems unlikely. A big trade or a late-summer signing looks like they are off the table and the Islanders’ roster looks just about set for the 2024-25 season.

Islanders’ Offseason Upgrades Didn’t Move the Needle

The St. Louis Blues got some surprising news this week when the report broke that Torey Krug might miss the entire season due to “pre-arthritic changes” in his ankle. Krug is only certain to miss 6-8 weeks. Still, given the early reports that his entire season might be in jeopardy, plus the signing of veteran left-handed defenseman Ryan Suter last week, it seems the Blues are preparing for the worst.

Winning has been a big part of the Vegas Golden Knights’ culture since day one, but so have cap management headaches. It seems like every offseason, the club’s tight cap situation forces the exodus of one or more key players, so much so that fans have become somewhat numb to it. In recent years, losing the likes of Max Pacioretty and Reilly Smith has mostly been shrugged off by a fan base that has grown accustomed to Vegas’ cold, business-like approach to asset management.

Nashville, TN

For some in hockey, it took seeing Steven Stamkos in another NHL sweater to believe it. It seemed at certain points in his career that he was never leaving the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, after being in Tampa since 2008, he is officially a member of the Nashville Predators. He signed a four-year contract with the franchise for $32 million. While Stamkos is a famous name throughout the NHL, some background should be provided for Predators fans who may not know much about him.

The NHL world is in the dog days of summer when news is scarce, and fans are itching for anything hockey-related. Signings have gone way down to where there might be one or two announcements, and it seems like the 2024-25 season will crawl its way to everyone eventually. However, during the weekend of July 20, defenseman Mikhail Sergachev of Utah HC and forward Artemi Panarin brought together the best Russian NHLers & KHL All-Stars for a charity game at CSKA Arena in Moscow, Russia. The charity exhibition game, perfectly named “Match of the Year,” featured 16 Russian players from the NHL and 16 from the KHL to raise money for charities and auction off signed jerseys.
