What the Vancouver Canucks can actually do with Jaroslav Halak

Edmonton Oilers, Washington Capitals, Vancouver Canucks and Vegas Golden Knights are interested in signing Jaroslav Halak. Halaks contract is not worth much, but the Canucks can keep 50% of his $1.5 million cap hit next season. The Capitals have Michal Kempny, who is making $2. 5 million this season, and they want to get him off the books. The Golden Golden Vegas have had bad goalkeeping all season long. They have started four different goalkeepers this year. It's likely that Halack will be traded at the deadline.

Buffalo is coming off a tough shootout loss to Montreal. It's been a rough go for the Sabres lately, as they're 3-4-3 in their past 10 games and veering further away from…

In the Crease: Thatcher Demko isn’t the problem for the Vancouver Canucks

There's a secret that very few in hockey know: goaltending isn't voodoo, it's controlled chaos. The goaltending position is an aspect of hockey that's seemingly understood only by the people who've played it, to the point where some NHL head coaches all but ignore them in their game plans. But take it from an actual goalie, there is a method to our…

Which goaltenders could the Tampa Bay Lightning pursue to replace Andrei Vasilevskiy?

Andrei Vasilevsky knocked on the table loudly.
