The 2024 entry draft was deemed a success by many for the Chicago Blackhawks and it appears that they may have landed the steal of the draft in 17-year-old John Mustard. Mustard, who was selected in the third round, 67th overall has been deemed a heavy shooter, sniper and a player with great speed according to eliteprospects.com. It seems that mustard is geared towards the offensive side of the game where he has great puck moving ability, great speed and has a powerful wrist shot.

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.

Daily Hockey Trivia – Ovechkin Goals, Tom Glavine & A $1 Trade

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.

The Dallas Stars have made the playoffs in five of the last six seasons and went to the Stanley Cup Final in 2020. While they have great young players and veteran leadership, there are concerns when looking at their projected lineup. How will veterans like Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, and Matt Dumba hold up this season? And how can young forward Mavrik Bourque change their offense?

It's been eight years since former TV child star Sawyer Sweeten, best known from Everybody Loves Raymond, died tragically by suicide at only 19 years old. Sawyer Sweeten, his twin brother Sullivan Sweeten, and their older sister Madylin, played Ray Romano's TV children on Everybody Loves Raymond, the Emmy-winning sitcom that originally aired on CBS 1996 to 2005.

Pro Hockey Rumors

The Anaheim Ducks are stuck in the middle of the pond. Their playoff drought has now extended to six seasons, on the back of continuously disappointing play from the team’s veterans. The Ducks now seem fully focused on building a new identity — one built around hard-hitting defensemen, shoot-first forwards, and new head coach Greg Cronin. Their moves this summer reflected that personality-building — though a quiet summer elsewhere will keep their expectations low for the 2024-25 season.

The 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup wrapped up on Aug. 10, with the medal round games taking place. The United States took on Sweden in the bronze medal game, with Sweden shutting down the American’s offense and winning 6-3. In the gold medal game, Canada and Czechia faced off for the second year in a row, with Czechia looking to avenge their overtime loss to the Canadians last year. But, Czechia ran into the hottest goaltender in the tournament, Jack Ivankovic, and could not crack him as Canada pulled off a 2-1 victory to take home gold.

Nashville, TN

The Predators have struggled to establish themselves as a true Stanley Cup Contender the past couple of seasons but have overcome that by going all in with their acquisitions. No team had a better offseason, especially one that netted some serious firepower upfront; the Nashville Predators are in a prime position to make some noise this upcoming season. In a tough division that features juggernauts such as the Colorado Avalanche and the Dallas Stars, the Predators now look to join them as the hegemons of the Central Division.

As a fan of the Edmonton Oilers since the 1979-80 NHL season, I usually feel anxious during the offseason about the upcoming season. During the Stanley Cup-winning years from 1984 to 1990, there was a bit more calmness, but from 1990 to last offseason there always seemed to be a sense of uneasiness. Not this offseason. When Oilers CEO of Hockey Operations Jeff Jackson took over the general manager duties from Ken Holland in late June, he did a masterful job of making the Oilers better on paper than they were in the 2023-24 season.

We’re still over a month away from training camp and longer until the beginning of the preseason, but a lot of work has been done by the Columbus Blue Jackets as they begin a new era. The changes started in the middle of last season when longtime general manager Jarmo Kekalainen was relieved of his duties after more than 10 years at the helm. An experienced hand, Don Waddell, was brought in as his replacement, and the team has also hired a new head coach, Dean Evason.
