If the Canucks are truly committed to a rebuild, I would try to trade Demko. A 'healthy' Demko has trade value. Lankinen has none with that contract. Move Demko for a pick and prospect and start developing the future netminders in-house. I thought Tolopilo had more potential, but I don't see him ...

If ownership is so cash strapped they are low balling potential GM's, is the jettisoning of veteran payroll and avoiding salary increases for star players in favour of ELC's a financial decision or a rebuilding decision? What does being hopeful and realistic look like as a Canucks fan these days ...

I’m inclined to agree with regards to the Oilers.. let’s see Vegas deny Cassidy permission to interview a team with an actual coaching vacancy before deeming them ruthless and uncivilized or whatever folks are saying. Also. If I recall correctly this all originates with Frank Seravalli so it’s possi ...

I think we're locked in at 24 if the Avs can close out one of the next three games.

Not too bad a spot, and IMO should be a decent spot to take someone interesting even if one of the Rucks is off the board by then.

He's an AGM with Boston and I guess complement's Gold's skill set well. I'm not going to be posting any beat reporters social media posts here again, but different threads of gossip out there today have the Canucks hiring Evan Gold who will be bringing a bunch of Bruins front office with him ...

Anaheim have got $40m in cap space heading into 2026-27 and even if they ink Gauthier and Carlsson to $12.5m AAV deals that's $15m left to add a couple of veteran defensemen to their corps of Jackson Lacombe plus a bunch of other kids (Mintyukov, Hinds, Zellweger etc). If anything I'd think they'd ...

Ugh serves me right relaying something this clown said, he's backing off of it already.

Patrick Johnston reporting the Sedins and Evan Gold are all going to be in hockey ops in some way shape or form.

Yeah I don’t know what to make of Button’s list. Rucks are way up there and he’s got Verhoeff behind the other two defensemen because he projects him as a less impactful NHLer.. while comparing him to Ekblad. I’m guessing the Ruck ship is sailing though, it would have been great to wheel and deal nea ...

Mëds it was literally going to be our 32nd overall pick and Gary shoved us back one to give Ottawa theirs back. I think in the grand scheme we shouldn’t be surprised, Bettman did exactly this when he stripped the Devils of their pick and the team changed hands between the misdeed and the punishment ( ...

Loved this one if only for its different take.. guy calls Ty Lawrence the most overrated prospect in this draft class: 39nMc1S5LpE PROS: Good skater with "flawless" mechanics Good two-way game "Good motor" CONS: Tries to do too much on his own Bad habit of skating with his head down Virtually always ...

We're loading up on Russians according to that. I think it is literally just the same players in the same order every time with the teams varying by standings and simulated lottery outcome. I wouldn’t put much stock into any mock draft, but this isn’t even that (where someone attempts to draft “as” ...

Being able to watch sports as a neutral is a lot of fun, if we get some Cinderella story that might be nice to follow but I’m not going in rooting for any team. I do want to see: Hughes get softened up real nice, the Wild out in the first or second round for draft order reasons, and I will enjoy the ...

McKeen's Detailed Scouting Report: Ivar Stenberg, LW, Frolunda (SHL) Not going to do a cole's notes this time but I think this report has something for everyone (doubters will note that Stenberg is relatively lacking in physical tools, believers will note that his profile like the Sedins did at the ...
