It's been a tough few years if you're a sports bettor who likes to take big swings on Stanley Cup futures bets. The 2019-20 Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup after sitting among the top pre-season favorites following a season in which they'd tied an NHL record with 62 wins. The 2020-21 Lightning were obviously favorites again, coming off the…

The NHL off-season has hit the summer doldrums, but by no means is the excitement of player movement done yet. Arbitration hearings are also coming up, which include hearings for breakout players Andrew Mangiapane and Jesper Bratt. BetMGM has updated their odds following the free agent frenzy, though the defending champion Avalanche remains at the…

The Montreal Canadiens continue to surprise this season, winning eight of their first 15 matches, which is as many wins as they had through the first 45 games under former head coach Dominique Ducharme last season. Granted, this edition of the Habs isn't dealing with as many long-term injuries to key players as they did in 2021-22. That being said,…

The Calgary Flames are legitimate contenders for the Stanley Cup this season. Even so, their odds of winning are long, and to improve their chances, they should add another offensive, puck-moving defenceman. That will not be an easy task for general manager Brad Treliving, but it should be at the top of his to-do list between now and the NHL trade…

Johnny Gaudreau is not a big man, at 5ft 9ins and 175 pounds. But he could be the biggest name available when the NHL free-agent market opens on Wednesday. Gaudreau is coming off the best season of his career, one in which he put up 115 points (40 goals) in 82 games. He had 14 more points in 12 playoff games for the Calgary Flames. Gaudreau's last…

Two high-flying teams that finished first in their respective divisions last season square off on Thursday. The Avalanche won their season debut 5-2 on Wednesday, and they're up against the Flames, who are playing their first contest. Both are no strangers to scoring lots of goals, as they were both in the top-six in highest goals per contest last…

The fantasy season is upon us. Another year of tears of joy and heartbreak. To help you along, here's your fantasy outlook for all the Calgary Flames Last season: 50-21-11, 1st Pacific, 6th overall. GF: 6th, GA: 3rd, PP: 10th, PK: 6th. It was an incredible turnaround under Darryl Sutter. After being the long-term replacement following Geoff Ward's…

Heading into this year's training camp, the Calgary Flames had two forwards attending on professional tryout offers (PTOs) in Sonny Milano and Cody Eakin. The latter accepted the team's offer on Sept. 11, while the former did so roughly a week later. At the time, there was optimism amongst the fanbase that at least one, if not both, may be able to…

Let's talk about Cole Schwindt. "Who?" you might ask. On July 22, Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving traded star winger Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers. Tkachuk had told the Flames that he was not interested in signing an extension, and fellow star Johnny Gaudreau had already departed for the Columbus Blue Jackets in free agency.…

Make no mistake, Brad Treliving is far from done this offseason. The Calgary Flames currently have 12 forwards listed on their NHL roster, which includes rookie Jakob Pelletier and restricted free agent (RFA) Adam Ruzicka. Pelletier had an outstanding first season in the AHL, putting up 62 points in 66 games, and the 21-year-old has a good shot at…
