Making The Case For The Senators To Extend Artem Zub (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After locking up UFA Drake Batherson, the Ottawa Senators have several remaining veterans who will need new contracts at some point. In most cases, the team will likely let the season unfold before pursuing extensions. One player to watch is defenseman Artem Zub, who is entering the final season of a four-year, $18.4MM deal ($4.6MM AAV). That contract has been a discount for the Senators, as Zub has remained a solid defensive defender and has grown more capable with the puck on his stick in rece
Would Logan Stanley Be A Fit With The Penguins? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pittsburgh Penguins arguably have the worst left-side defense in the entire NHL heading into this season. The same could have been said last season, but the emergence of Parker Wotherspoon and Ryan Shea shocked the entire NHL and helped thrust the Penguins back into the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. Now, after a summer that saw Shea walk as a UFA and Wotherspoon traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, the Penguins once again find themselves with a paper-thin left side and far mor
Nikita Kucherov Contract Situation Could Define The Lightningâs Next Era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tampa Bay Lightning remain in win-now mode, but they are at the tail end of their win-now window. They have won two Stanley Cups since 2020 and reached three Stanley Cup Finals. This season is particularly fascinating for the Lightningâs future, as they enter it with their top player less than 12 months away from unrestricted free agency. Nikita Kucherov is in the final year of an eight-year, $76MM contract that has been an absolute steal at $9.5MM per season. Normally, this would be an op
Do The Canadiens Have A Good Enough Second Line? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Montreal Canadiens are hoping to move from young up-and-comers to Stanley Cup contenders. Some folks might argue that their Eastern Conference Finals appearance last season proves they are already Stanley Cup contenders, but their performance in that series against the Carolina Hurricanes showed just how far away they still are. The Canadiens had a quiet offseason and still havenât fixed their biggest issues: the hole at 2C and the effect that hole has on the second line. The current proje
Have The Sabres Done Enough To Remain Competitive? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Buffalo Sabres were the feel-good story of the 2025-26 season, finishing 50-23-9 on their way to 109 points and an Atlantic Division title. The Sabres rolled over the Boston Bruins in the first round and pushed the Montreal Canadiens to the absolute limit in the second round, ultimately losing in seven games. The Sabres were legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, and it was fair to wonder, going into the offseason, whether they could improve their roster or whether salary-cap constraints would l
