Blackhawks Offseason Targets: UFA Forwards
March 21st, 2018 While the Chicago Blackhawks could use a top-four defenseman and maybe some defensive depth, they also could use a player or two up front. They could use a big, checking, third line center who can win face-offs. Who does that sound like? Artem Anisimov. Anisimov has proven...
Rangers 2018 RFAs Ready to Cash In

November 18th, 2017 Jarome Iginla has played in 1554 NHL games, scoring 625 goals and tallying 676 assists for a grand total of 1300 points. And in spite of not having a Stanley Cup to his name, most NHL players would be content with a career like that. He's scored highlight reel goals and...

And more importantly, if they can't, what's...10 Best Players Left on UFA Market
September 7th, 2017 The 2017 summer free agent market was one of the weakest in the past few seasons. Names like Kevin Shattenkirk, Patrick Marleau, Martin Hanzal, Karl Alzner and Alexander Radulov were off the market fairly quickly. Then came a flurry of signings of teams trying to pick up...
