December 27th, 2020 The trio of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen already strike fear in the hearts of goaltenders, defensemen, and general managers throughout the NHL.

NHL Rumors; Avalanche, Jets, Penguins, Maple Leafs, Blackhawks, More

November 15th, 2020 In today's NHL rumors, without having played a single game for the Colorado Avalanche, forward Brandon Saad is already saying he'd like to stick around long-term.

NHL Players Set to Have Bounce Back 2020-21 Seasons in New Cities

October 26th, 2020 This NHL offseason has been unorthodox compared to previous ones. Not only did free agency open later than expected, but the flat cap has decreased the market value of many UFAs. These unique circumstances have made this free agency period more entertaining and with many significant moves being made by teams that need to meet the salary...

Avalanche Victorious in Saad-for-Zadorov Swap

October 13th, 2020 The free agency signing period in the NHL is always fascinating, with big-name signings, trades, salary dumps, and the like. 2020 Free Agency has been no different, despite the fact that it began more than three months later than the normal July 1 start date. The Colorado Avalanche and general manager Joe Sakic vowed to be quiet...
Blackhawks’ Roundtable: Goalies, Rebuilding & the Saad Trade

Blackhawks’ Roundtable: Goalies, Rebuilding & the Saad Trade

October 13th, 2020 It’s safe to say we here in Chicago Blackhawks’ land are a bit befuddled with the recent moves made by the organization. Two-time Stanley Cup winners Corey Crawford and Brandon Saad are no longer with the team. This would usually denote a tear-down and rebuild. Yet the Blackhawks instead traded Saad for an established defenseman...

September 22nd, 2020 As we head towards the end of September in this crazy year of 2020, we’re still awaiting the recipient of the Stanley Cup. Nevertheless, it’s just a few short months until the 2020-21 NHL season is set to begin on Dec. 1.

That being said, the news and rumors keep...

Blackhawks' Roundtable: Season Reflection, Who Stays, Who Goes?

September 6th, 2020 The Chicago Blackhawks have officially embraced the offseason, and we here at The Hockey Writers are forced to do the same. The 2019-20 season was quite the rollercoaster ride.

Devils' Trading Partners: Blackhawks Offer Defensive Help

Devils' Trading Partners: Blackhawks Offer Defensive Help

August 19th, 2020 With the offseason approaching, it's worth taking a looking at what the New Jersey Devils may do with all their cap space. The NHL salary cap will remain flat, at $81.5 million, due to revenue loss from COVID-19. That will put some teams in a bind, but not the Devils, who'll have over $26 million in cap space to use and improve...

Best Blackhawks' Draft Picks: 2010 to Present

June 28th, 2020 This is the second piece in a two-part series looking back on the Chicago Blackhawks' best draft picks in the last two decades. The first column highlighted 10 players that were drafted from 2002 to 2009, with three different general managers calling the shots.

Blackhawks Need a Left Wing Makeover

Blackhawks Need a Left Wing Makeover

May 21st, 2020 With the NHL draft presumed to be soon, the Chicago Blackhawks have a lot of decisions to make. I think this year, especially, their picks will be intriguing. The positions that were considered to be "not of concern" have likely become a "top priority" of things to fix. The team could use just about everything. However, there is one...
