In the first half of 2022-23, the Ducks seemed to be ascending in a wide-open Pacific Division. By mid-November, they were riding an eight-game winning streak and held a 10-4-3 record, buoyed by an incredible goal-scoring binge from right winger Troy Terry, who buried 24 goals in his first 41 games. The momentum didn't last, however. They had a…

Sillinger was the Blue…

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…

A major question was answered at Calgary Flames camp on Thursday as players hit the ice for the first time. Tyler Toffoli was the odds-on favourite for top-line duty alongside Elias Lindholm and Jonathan Huberdeau. Sure enough, the veteran righty got the first spin. The third line - anchored by Michael Backlund - featured his familiar flanker Blake…

In today's NHL rumors rundown, why did the Buffalo Sabres choose to give Tage Thompson an extension now? The team made a huge commitment coming off a breakout season but before they needed to.

The team is currently just about at the upper limit of the salary cap with Rasmus Sandin still to sign. There is little doubt that a trade will happen prior to the start of the season; it's only a matter of when. While any player could be traded in theory, let's not waste our time worrying about any potential blockbuster that has a 0.1% chance of…
