It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. It's natural to view last weekend's drama as a catalyst and the reason why Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the…

UFC 278 was what fans come to mixed martial arts for. The extremes of the sport delivering on the highest stage just when you think they can't get any wilder.

Another day passes and the New York Islanders remain the only team not to have made a transaction since the opening of free agency, Calle Odelius aside. The Matthew Tkachuk situation seemingly presented opportunity for Isles GM Lou Lamoriello to become a beneficiary of the team that acquired the 24-year-old winger until the Florida Panthers swooped…

It feels like we have been discussing the possibility of a Jakob Chychrun trade out of Arizona for nearly two years now. While the defenseman still remains a member of the Coyotes and will seemingly start the season out in the desert, it's very likely he'll be donning a different sweater by the end of the year. The 24-year-old talked about the last…

by Ben Pessah-Berlin - 10/6/2022 The Islanders had a weird year last season. They started the season with a five-week road trip and the followed that up with a string of Covid issues, which had them playing 50 games in 99 days to close out the season. That will definitely not repeat itself. The team did rebound a bit, but they never overcame the…

If so, the Canadiens stand to gain quite a haul at the next trade…

NHL Free Agency started four weeks ago and after all the frenzy, what we were seemingly left with was a contingent of formalities.

Alas, there are still…
