January 14th, 2021 The Minnesota Wild were incredibly active this offseason, which changed the landscape of the Wild's future. In all honesty, it was inevitable as they maneuver past the barriers during this re-tool and make decisions that will affect the long-term as they look forward.

Wild Experimenting with New Forward Lines in Camp

January 7th, 2021 Training camps have begun throughout the NHL, and fans have their first taste of possible line combinations for their team. With no preseason games to be played, coaches around the NHL will only have practices to decide what their opening day lines will be when the season gets underway next week.

Wild Could Use Johansson at Center During Roster Transition

Wild Could Use Johansson at Center During Roster Transition

January 6th, 2021 Soon after the Minnesota Wild were eliminated from the 2020 playoff qualifying round, general manager Bill Guerin wasted little time in changing the roster, which included trading away Eric Staal to the Buffalo Sabres for Marcus Johansson. The Wild have been searching for help at center for years, which left many asking why would they...
4 Minnesota Wild Looking For Big Seasons

4 Minnesota Wild Looking For Big Seasons

November 25th, 2020 The Minnesota Wild remain one of the most fascinating teams heading into 2020-21. After an early and short-lived showing in last season’s playoffs that saw them eliminated in four games at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks, a fresh outlook and new season (whatever that may look like) may be just what the doctor ordered in the State...
Projecting the Wild's 2020-21 Opening Night Roster

Projecting the Wild's 2020-21 Opening Night Roster

November 13th, 2020 Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin made several drastic changes this offseason. While those changes may be alarming to some, we have to put our faith into believing that Guerin knows what he's doing. After all, he is a four-time Stanley Cup winner, twice as a player and twice as the assistant general manager for the Pittsburgh...
Breaking Down the Wild's Plan to Simultaneously Compete & Rebuild

Breaking Down the Wild's Plan to Simultaneously Compete & Rebuild

November 4th, 2020 It seems that the general manager, Bill Guerin, has high hopes for the Minnesota Wild. He has boldly stated that he has three goals this season. To put out a competitive team, to rebuild the roster, and to successfully do those two things simultaneously. But is he setting this team up for failure? (from 'Bill Guerin’s plan to rebuild...
Wild Can Utilize Trade Deadline To Greatly Improve Their Roster

Wild Can Utilize Trade Deadline To Greatly Improve Their Roster

November 3rd, 2020 Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin may have just perfectly executed a retool on the fly. The acquisitions of Nick Bjugstad from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Marcus Johansson from the Buffalo Sabres, and Nick Bonino from the Nashville Predators could change the landscape of the Wild's near future. It could change the team's...
Sabres Adding Staal is Step in Right Direction

Sabres Adding Staal is Step in Right Direction

September 17th, 2020 Buffalo Sabres rookie general manager Kevyn Adams' trade for Eric Staal is low risk, high reward. It's also a no brainer. Staal, a consummate pro, fills an immediate need without a long-term commitment. He adds a sorely-needed, bonafide second-line center to fill in behind captain Jack Eichel. Eric Staal played on the Carolina...
3 Underrated Capitals From the Ovechkin Era

3 Underrated Capitals From the Ovechkin Era

August 5th, 2020 Ever since Alexander Ovechkin joined the Washington Capitals' lineup for the start of the 2005-06 season, he has been the face of the franchise. He has become a perennial 50-goal scorer and one of if not the most popular player in the NHL. With a resume like the one that Ovechkin has assembled, it goes without saying that he casts a CN...

Revisiting Bruins' 2019 Deadline Deals

January 20th, 2020 The NHL trade deadline is on Feb. 24, just over a month away. Contenders for the Stanley Cup will try to upgrade their rosters in an attempt to dethrone the defending champion, St. Louis Blues. One team that needs an addition or two is the 2019 Eastern Conference champion Boston Bruins. They need a forward, specifically, a second...

Devils Need to Add a Top-Six Winger

Devils Need to Add a Top-Six Winger

July 6th, 2019 The New Jersey Devils addressed some big-time needs this offseason. They acquired a top-four defenseman in P.K. Subban and added center Jack Hughes through the Entry Draft. They also signed unrestricted free agent (UFA) right winger Wayne Simmonds, who'll add some physicality to the lineup, to a one-year deal worth $5 million. Wayne...
Devils Likely Not Done After Simmonds Signing

Devils Likely Not Done After Simmonds Signing

July 2nd, 2019 The New Jersey Devils had a relatively quiet first day of NHL Free Agency, but they didn't come away empty-handed. They came to terms with unrestricted free agent (UFA) Wayne Simmonds on a one-year, $5 million contract. The 30-year-old right wing is coming off a 17-goal season between the Philadelphia Flyers and Nashville Predators....
Bruins 2019 Offseason Outlook

Bruins 2019 Offseason Outlook

June 29th, 2019 The 2018-19 season didn't end well for the Boston Bruins. It's a shame that this outlook has to be started on such a down-note, especially considering the Bruins were one win away from hoisting the Stanley Cup and solidifying their place atop the hockey world. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned and general manager...
