NHL Trade Analysis

Oilers Five Thoughts: Pontus Aberg, J.D. Dudek & Others

Oilers Five Thoughts: Pontus Aberg, J.D. Dudek & Others

March 1st, 2018 The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, and the Edmonton Oilers took their lumps as sellers. When the 2017-18 season started, Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli was supposed to be adding the final touches for a playoff push. However reality set in, the team slumbered...
Breaking Down the Bruins Rick Nash Trade

Breaking Down the Bruins Rick Nash Trade

February 27th, 2018 It's over. Everybody take a deep breath, smoke 'em if you've got 'em and settle in for what figures to be a dead sprint toward and through the playoffs. The Boston Bruins, owners of the NHL's fourth-best record as the deadline passed, refused to sit idly-by while the...
Brandon Davidson Traded to Islanders by Oilers

Brandon Davidson Traded to Islanders by Oilers

February 24th, 2018 The Edmonton Oilers made their first significant (somewhat) trade of the 2018 NHL Trade Deadline by moving depth-defenseman Brandon Davidson to the New York Islanders for a third-round draft selection in 2019. It's the kind of remodeling Oilers' GM Peter Chiarelli spoke of...
NHL Trade Deadline: 14 Stanley Cup-Winning Additions

NHL Trade Deadline: 14 Stanley Cup-Winning Additions

February 21st, 2018 At every NHL trade deadline, general managers of contending franchises set out to acquire the last player or two who will push their team over the edge. These buyers truly believe that the Stanley Cup is within reach – there’s just one piece of the puzzle missing. So...
Phaneuf Trade Signals Senators Retool

Phaneuf Trade Signals Senators Retool

February 15th, 2018 The Ottawa Senators couldn’t afford to wait until Erik Karlsson’s contract situation was sorted out to start making changes, and Tuesday night’s trade looks like the first step in their retool. By sending veteran defender Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson to the Los...
5 Cup-Winning Trade Deadline Pickups

5 Cup-Winning Trade Deadline Pickups

February 7th, 2018 With the 2018 NHL trade deadline looming, teams are preparing to buy and sell their top players and prospects in order to grab a wild card spot in the playoffs or rebuild their roster for a shot at it in a few years. The trade deadline is also an opportunity for veteran...
Ryan Reaves: Keeping 'Sid the Kid' Safe?

Ryan Reaves: Keeping 'Sid the Kid' Safe?

December 20th, 2017 Living in the Pittsburgh market, I am exposed to Penguins media and story lines. On June 23, the first day of this year's draft, the team made a trade that sent Oskar Sundqvist and their first round pick (31st overall) to the Blues for Ryan Reaves and their second round...
Filip Forsberg Trade Revisited

Filip Forsberg Trade Revisited

May 29th, 2017 From the eighth seed in the Western Conference to the Stanley Cup Final, the Nashville Predators have provided hockey fans with a wild ride through the 2017 NHL Playoffs. In doing so, the Predators have received contributions from just about everyone in the lineup en route...
Tyler Seguin Trade Revisited

Tyler Seguin Trade Revisited

May 28th, 2017 While July 1 normally marks the start of free agency in the hockey world, that arguably took the back seat to a blockbuster trade on July 4 almost four years ago. Two years after winning the Stanley Cup, the Boston Bruins moved one of their youngest, brightest stars just...
Ryan Miller Trade Revisited

Ryan Miller Trade Revisited

May 28th, 2017 We're going to review the February 28, 2014, deal that sent Ryan Miller to the St. Louis Blues and Chris Stewart to the Buffalo Sabres along with the ripple effect it had on both clubs. The St. Louis Blues have been one of the better teams in the NHL for the past six...
The Reason Behind the Taylor Hall Trade

The Reason Behind the Taylor Hall Trade

September 6th, 2016 The second-most talked about trade of the offseason (P.K Subban for Shea Weber being the first), saw budding offensive star Taylor Hall traded for a sort-of unproven defensive blueliner in Adam Larsson. The deal sent shock-waves through Edmonton and the hockey world,...
