I'm an at-large writer here at THW and have previously written for FanSided and Hockeybuzz. Feel free to tell me what you really think.

Kings’ Top 10 Draft Picks of All-Time

Tim Chiasson | June 15, 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…

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

Tim Chiasson | September 11, 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…

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

Tim Chiasson | September 3, 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…

3 Players the Maple Leafs Should Scout in 2019-20

Tim Chiasson | August 22, 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,…

Bruins Nearing the End of Their Reign

Tim Chiasson | August 18, 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…

Jets Should Expect More From Laine in 2019-20

Tim Chiasson | August 14, 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…

Oilers Priority Should Be Trading Nugent-Hopkins

Tim Chiasson | August 10, 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…

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

Tim Chiasson | July 29, 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…

Blue Jackets Will Lean on Dubois in 2019-20

Tim Chiasson | July 25, 2019

Without Artemi Panarin, Matt Duchene, and Ryan Dzingel, the Columbus Blue Jackets will spend a lot of time searching for offense. They failed to add (or retain) any big fish…

Bruins Need to Avoid Bridge Deal with McAvoy

Tim Chiasson | July 24, 2019

When the latest CBA was agreed to, they forgot about the Charlie McAvoys of the world. The Boston Bruins have total control over McAvoy, and it’s probably the main reason…

3 Transactions the Kings Should Make

Tim Chiasson | July 15, 2019

The 2018-19 Los Angeles Kings matched their lowest point total, and won their fewest amount of games, in the salary cap era. Their top forward and defensive lines weren’t good…

How the Maple Leafs’ Penalty Kill Could Look in 2019-20

Tim Chiasson | July 4, 2019

When the Toronto Maple Leafs traded away Nikita Zaitsev and Connor Brown, they lost two players that ranked one and four, respectively, in ice time (TOI) on the penalty kill.…
