Kings' Top 10 Draft Picks of All-Time

Kings' Top 10 Draft Picks of All-Time

June 15th, 2020 Though they waited until the 2011-12 season to hoist Lord Stanley (with a close encounter in 1993, thanks to Kerry Fraser), the Los Angeles Kings have produced many good NHL players. They started drafting in 1967, ahead of their inaugural season (1967-68), and have selected over 400 players. The following players are the Los Angeles...
Ducks Need to Increase Ondrej Kase's Ice Time, Not Trade Him

Ducks Need to Increase Ondrej Kase's Ice Time, Not Trade Him

September 11th, 2019 The Anaheim Ducks need help improving their defensive group, but trading Ondrej Kase, as the rumors suggest, shouldn't be the avenue they explore. They should be more interested in increasing his ice time and keeping him as a core piece of their roster for the next several years. Kase only appeared in 30 games for the Ducks during...
D.J. Smith's Evolution Is Key to Senators' Future Success

D.J. Smith's Evolution Is Key to Senators' Future Success

September 3rd, 2019 The Ottawa Senators' success is now in the hands of newly-appointed head coach D.J. Smith. They may be a small market team, but the Senators are under the microscope when it comes to coverage. Between the poor performances and owner Eugene Melnyk's antics, the organization has been well documented over the past several years. This...
3 Players the Maple Leafs Should Scout in 2019-20

3 Players the Maple Leafs Should Scout in 2019-20

August 22nd, 2019 When the Mitch Marner contract finally hits the Toronto Maple Leafs' books, their need for cheap, effective, talent will increase significantly. The Leafs are, by no means, in cap hell, which is reserved for teams against the cap who boast a roster of bad contracts. It's a term often mistakenly placed on teams, like the Leafs, who have...
Bruins Nearing the End of Their Reign

Bruins Nearing the End of Their Reign

August 18th, 2019 The Boston Bruins have been one of the best teams in the NHL's salary-cap era. They've been to the Stanley Cup Final three times, winning once, and have made the playoffs in all but four of the 14 salary-cap seasons. You can bet they'll be there again this season, but the end of their reign is coming. In The Athletic's farm system...
Jets Should Expect More From Laine in 2019-20

Jets Should Expect More From Laine in 2019-20

August 14th, 2019 Patrik Laine scored 30 goals in what should be considered a down-year during the 2018-19 season. The three-year veteran has no idea what it's like to score fewer than 30 goals in the National Hockey League. It's easy to be happy with a 30-goal scorer, but Laine's 2018-19 production just wasn't what we had become accustomed to...
Oilers Priority Should Be Trading Nugent-Hopkins

Oilers Priority Should Be Trading Nugent-Hopkins

August 10th, 2019 The Edmonton Oilers priority should be to trade Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. They managed to clear out the unbreakable contract of Milan Lucic in a lateral move earlier in the offseason, but they’d be wise to keep going. Nugent-Hopkins’ value will likely never be higher for the Oilers than it is right now. He’s coming off a career-high...
Islanders Aren't Likely to Repeat Last Season's Performance

Islanders Aren't Likely to Repeat Last Season's Performance

July 29th, 2019 The New York Islanders had the fifth-most points in the NHL in the 2018-19 season, but they could easily find themselves on the outside looking in after 2019-20. After an underwhelming free agency that saw them add no real outside help, the Islanders have set themselves up for a potentially significant decline in standings points....
