Ottawa, IL

For years, the Ottawa Senators have struggled to put together a competitive farm system, leaving them at the bottom of multiple farm system rankings. Those days finally seem to be over, though. General manager Steve Staios was patient and strategic at the draft, adding several players with high upsides while also addressing organizational needs. Then, in free agency, he sought out savvy veterans who could bolster the roster from the bottom up, providing the leadership and experience needed for some of the team’s better prospects to take the next step forward. All in all, 2024-25 promises to be a much better season for the Senators and much more focused on developing the top talents they have on their team.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a tough spot right now, as they would like to get back into the playoff picture but don’t quite have the strength in their lineup to be able to do that. Heading into the 2024-25 season, one thing that remains a potential issue that looms over the team is forward Sidney Crosby and his contract situation. He has yet to sign an extension since becoming eligible on July 1, and fans have begun to get concerned as every day passes. While being worried about a potential trade makes sense considering the Penguins are retooling and won’t make the playoffs this season, and Crosby is on an expiring deal, there is almost no way he will play a game in any other jersey during his career. It’s time to put the Crosby trade rumors to rest, especially with the recent report from trusted pundit Rob Rossi.

The Boston Celtics may have to survive the first part of the NBA season without Kristaps Porzingis. Coming off one of the most dominant championship runs in recent history, the Boston Celtics will be in a great position to repeat as NBA Champions. However, if there's one variable that could put Boston's championship hopes in jeopardy this season, it's the lack of health - something they're already dealing with. After suffering a rare ankle injury in the NBA Finals, Kristaps Porzingis remains on the mend and is still months away from a return to the basketball floor.

The NHL has been around for a very long time; at the time of writing, it is 106 years old. The Calgary Flames entered the league in 1972, originally operating out of Atlanta, Georgia as the Atlanta Flames. They operated for eight seasons there until financial difficulties forced their owner to sell the team to a group of Calgary businessmen. That group moved the Flames to “Cowtown” before the 1980-81 season. The flaming ‘a’ was changed to a flaming ‘c’, season tickets were sold by the thousands, and a new era began. The first stretch of the new-era Flames was immensely successful; the team qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs every season from 1980-81 until 1988-89.

During Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis suffered a rare leg injury. This injury kept him out for Games 3 and 4 in the series. However, he returned for Boston’s series-clinching Game 5 victory, although he only played 16 minutes and was very limited on the court. Porzingis underwent surgery in June and his expected return timetable was 5-6 months. Recently, the big man posted a picture of himself working out in Latvia on social media. This has led to some believing he is ahead in his recovery and could return sooner than expected. However, in a recent interview, Celtics GM Brad Stevens said it will still “be a while” before we see Porzingis on the court again (subscription required).

The feud ignited when Samsonov reacted to Ullmark's comments about his performance during the playoff series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, suggesting Ullmark's injury history and challenging him ahead of their matchups. Both goalies had disappointing playoff statistics last season, but the banter promises to heat up as they face off later in the season.

Rumors swirl around Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler's future as he faces the last year of his contract. After a season marred by injury, where he played only 60 games, his trade value may never be higher. A proposed blockbuster deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, swapping Butler for 26-year-old Desmond Bane, could redefine both teams' trajectories. While Miami could establish a younger core, Memphis would bolster its title aspirations with Butler, teaming him up with star players like Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Now, heading into 2024-25, they are expected to defend their Pacific Division crown and contend for the Stanley Cup. Talk about a jump in expectations, right?
