Should The Wild Sign Jagr?

Should The Wild Sign Jagr?

August 24th, 2017 Free agency has come and gone, training camps are about to open and summer is almost over. Somehow, Jaromir Jagr still hasn't been signed by a team. The legendary winger has remained a free agent since July 1, when the Florida Panthers let him walk. It's amazing that not a single team in the NHL believes he has enough left in the...
Why the Blues Should Sign Jaromir Jagr

Why the Blues Should Sign Jaromir Jagr

August 7th, 2017 It is now August and Jaromir Jagr somehow still is without an NHL contract, who would have predicted that at the end of last season? Its been said countless times but Jagr truly is a living legend and one of the best ever to play the game, even at 45 years of age now.  He wasn't named one of the top 100 NHL players of all-time for...
Jets Should Gamble on Ryan White

Jets Should Gamble on Ryan White

July 31st, 2017 It is a rare occurrence when Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Winnipeg Jets have an active offseason. In 2012, it was viewed as a busy summer signing forwards Olli Jokinen and Alexei Ponikarovsky. This July, the Jets inked a pair of players that already have a secured spot on the opening night roster and hopefully this duo fares better than...

Meet the Golden Knights: James Neal

July 20th, 2017 Ongoing education, particularly for new hockey fans, is job one at The Hockey Writers. Today we continue that mission, on our quest to educate Vegas locals on those players that will now be referred to as the Golden Knights.

Meet the Golden Knights: Vadim Shipachyov

Wild Add Goaltending Depth With Svedberg Signing

Wild Add Goaltending Depth With Svedberg Signing

July 9th, 2017 The offseason is in full swing, and Wild fans are all pondering one question: What would GM Chuck Fletcher do to make the team better? Besides adding scoring depth, the Wild’s biggest concern was getting a better backup for Devan Dubnyk, allowing him to rest while still giving the team a chance to win. Last season, the role belonged...
Habs Not Out of Woods Yet with Galchenyuk Deal

Habs Not Out of Woods Yet with Galchenyuk Deal

July 5th, 2017 The Montreal Canadiens have just won half the battle by getting Alex Galchenyuk under contract. The deal, which is reported as being for $4.9 million per year for three seasons, is cost-effective, which is yet another boon to the organization. It comes on the heels of Galchenyuk filing for arbitration. That’s been avoided...
Is Marleau Worth the Maple Leafs Moola?

Is Marleau Worth the Maple Leafs Moola?

July 5th, 2017 It's been years since the Toronto Maple Leafs went out and got a top sought-after player in free agency. With the Leafs back to being a playoff contending team, it also means that they will spend like one. So the Leafs went out and signed Patrick Marleau to a huge contract for someone his age. In Marleau, the Leafs add a great player to...
New Canadiens Forward Hemsky a Massive Downgrade

New Canadiens Forward Hemsky a Massive Downgrade

July 3rd, 2017 There is no way to sugarcoat the Montreal Canadiens signing Ales Hemsky on Monday. Hemsky vs. Radulov The move, which coincided with the Dallas Stars signing away Alexander Radulov for $31.25 million over five years ($6.25 million per year), effectively means the Habs have been forced to replace Radulov in the line-up with Hemsky,...

Botterill's Moves Quickly Shaping the Sabres

July 2nd, 2017 Buffalo Sabres’ general manager Jason Botterill has had a busy first few months.

Alzner Is a Rich Man’s Emelin

Alzner Is a Rich Man’s Emelin

July 2nd, 2017 Karl Alzner’s the rich man in question now, with a new five-year, $23.125 million contract to his name. Good for him, sincerely. Bad for the Montreal Canadiens, though. Bergevin Doesn't Learn from Mistakes Four years ago next November, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin made a huge mistake when he signed defenseman Alexei...
