Win, lose, or draw? This year‘s deadline was definitely one of the most unpredictable, and for the first time in a few years, the whole thing lived up to its hype… For the sake of this article, I’m going to call the trade deadline beginning with the first Rantanen trade….. Let’s...
The NHL announced Today thst Aaron Ekblad is suspended for 20 games due to a violation for the NHL and NHLPA's Performance Enhancing Substances Program. The Panthers have 18 regular season games and he will also miss the first 2 games of the playoffs. Ekblad issued a statement through the NH...
I really need someone to explain this to me. I’ve asked around and a lot of people in the league ALSO don’t understand it as well. The Maple Leafs were willing to give up Mitch Marner to get Rantanen…. And then put a salary extension on which would be about the same amount of money for...
So much happened this trade deadline, and now that we’ve seen a couple games with each team in their new format, it’s time to look at who’s going to win the East. I’ll do the est tomorrow… Washington? It’s kind of amazing how little respect the Capitals get around the NHL right no...
The West feels tighter than the East in some ways, but depending on your perspective ther could be a no brainer here….lets get into it… Winnipeg: The Jets are a machine from top to bottom. They have easily the best power-play in the NHL, and they have shown an ability to go on streaks, which...

The world events and the relationship between the US and Canada are of course currently very strained. This articlee isn’t about this relationdhip, but rather about a factor that may play into the NHL’s Salary Cap as early as next year. And this is a very real problem.. The issue is a...
Hey all, it’s Eklund…. Many of you have been contacting me and saying we need more Habs content, and I couldn’t agree more! Huhgo is kind of our weekly columnist, but we really need a day-to-day beat writer…. The last two people we had here, Eric Engels and Karine Haines, both got their...
In the spirit of my favorite Hockey Digest Article, we are back today with another “Who is better?” We all remember recently when Mitch Marner was asked to waive his No Trade Clause to be moved to Carolina for Mike Rantanen… the first thought that came to my head at the time was that isn’...
This Just in… Good or Bad Number? Back soon with more.....
My good friend Kevin Allen used to poke fun at me all the time for putting out rumors about offer sheets. They really just didn’t happen and when they did happen, the other team was quick to match even if it made little economic sense for them…. The main reason we never saw offer sheets unmat...
