Posted 12:47 PM ET | Comments 5 When the 2021 Sabres team finally hits the ice mid-January, at minimum, 310 days will have passed since the last time they stepped off as 3-2 SO winners over the Washington Capitals.That team was just trying to get to the finish line of yet another playoff-less campaign. Eichel had done all he could to try and drag them into relevancy...but he would again come up short. ...

What do you pay for Philip Danault Posted 4:23 PM ET | Comments 17 I have to say I have always had a soft spot for Danault.His acquisition is definitely one of the better Bergevin trades. He came from Chicago alongside a 2nd round pick for the likes of Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise in a year that the Habs were absolutely atrocious.Both players sent to Chicago had no long term impact for the Habs despite their fairly respected tenu...

I have never covered the entire league like this before. Hope you enjoy!To be clear, with in these predictions I am working in a frame work that there will be 4 divis...

Solidifying the C Posted 7:28 PM ET | Comments 8 The Columbus Blue Jackets have had a busy offseason for themselves thus far, and it is yet to be over. The surrounding teams in their division were also extremely active as well. With that out of the way, lets focus on what was done within before going externally with reviews by team and where I think they will finish. Let's start at home... The Columbus Blue Jackets had ...

Dubois' fault for injuring Muzzin. None of these of the reasons. Did they help, no it did hurt but this team is flawed and many know it.First, this team needs to mature in a different way. They need to realize what playoff hockey is. Losing to Washington and Boston both times was wow we gave it all we got they were the b...

Jets: RFA's and UFA's to keep this off-season, and cap hits Posted 6:01 PM ET | Comments 14 The Jets had to make many difficult decisions over the offseason. Ultimately, I feel Chevy did a great job allowing guy Meyers to walk for a massive overpayment, and Trouba brought a great return. Many were obsiously upset with how the Buff situation went down, and I was too. Hindsight being 20/20, it's far better that Buff waited out the Trouba deal, or the Jets would hav...

Cancel the NHL draft (picks would just all move back a year, so if you have 3 1sts this year, you get them next year instead).There was an opportunity in 2005 absolutely wasted. They could have simply cancelled the draft and changed the minimum draft age to 19**Every year, up to three to five players at 18 are NHL ready. Sometimes none are ready. Perhaps if you w...

From the Desk of GMPM: The Catastrophic Cost of Cancellation Posted 12:29 AM ET | Comments 22 With the United States ’ Center for Disease Control issuing a recommendation of a nationwide eight-week moratorium on gatherings of 50 or more people (and just to clarify, you need more than 50 people, even at minimum, to run empty-arena games), rumors abound of what the NHL can do, if anything, to save some form of 201 9-2020 season while still remaining compliant with th...

Flames Drop 2nd in a Row in Loss to Lightning Posted 7:44 PM ET | Comments 10 The Calgary Flames marched into Tampa Bay looking to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Nashville Predators a few nights ago. A game in which while they weren ’t awful, they weren’t good enough to win. They had some good looks, but with .1 seconds left let the Predators tied up the game. Overtime they went, and the Flames dropped the game. Perhaps they deserved a ... Filed Under: calgary flames tampa bay lightning Friday February 7, 2020 Michael OConnor writes... Pacific Division Breakdown: Posted 1:37 AM ET | Comments 9 After tonight, there is no reason why the Sharks could not make a push into the playoffs. Sure, the division has many competitive teams, but none are taking control of their destiny. The Canucks lost to an outdated Minnesota roster, and to make things worse, Pettersson missed the game due to a lower body injury. Jay Beagle and Jake Virtanen were injured as well, but cam...

Posted 9:00 PM ET | Comments 13 The Winnipeg Jets are a relatively talented hockey team. Their top six forwards have as much finishing talent as any team in the NHL with Patrik Laine, Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Kyle Connor. They have the dominant pairing of Andrew Copp and Adam Lowry who can virtually shut down opponents and even create some offence regardless of who the right winger is on tha...

The Problem With Oscar Klefbom (Don't Trade Darnell Nurse) Posted 2:30 AM ET | Comments 21 I'm gonna come right outta the gate and say what qualifies as sacrilege within the Oilers community: Darnell Nurse is the Oilers' best Dman and attempts to trade him under the pretense that his minutes could be replaced by Klefbom aren't just wrong, they're blind to statistically observable reality. I guess I should actually get to the evidence before asserting things so s... Filed Under: Edmonton Oilers Nurse Klefbom Comparison Sunday November 24, 2019 Habsfan2017 writes...
