    Canadiens Trade Package for Kirill Marchenko — Would You Accept? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Kirill Marchenko’s name refuses to leave the rumour mill. He’s been linked to half the league all summer, but one team keeps popping up more than anyone else: the Montreal Canadiens. The fit has been obvious for months — Montreal’s Russian core is growing, their prospect pool is loaded with high‑end talent, and the organization has quietly become one of the most attractive landing spots for Russian players. Ivan Demidov looks like a future star. Alexander Zharovsky and Gleb Pugachyov a

    The Minten Contract Is a Warning Shot: Oilers’ Delay Could Cost Millions on Matt Savoie (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fraser Minten just signed a seven‑year deal with the Boston Bruins worth $7.2 million AAV — the latest example of the NHL’s new trend: long‑term, high‑AAV bets on young players who haven’t fully broken out yet. Zeev Buium just inked eight years at $9.38 million AAV. Neither player has a deep NHL résumé, but teams are locking in early and gambling on growth. The Oilers have their own version of this situation staring them in the face. Matt Savoie is eligible for a long‑term extens

    Cale Makar Cashes In: Avalanche Lock Up a Superstar, Inherit a Cap Crisis (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After weeks of staring down Quinn Hughes in a league‑wide game of contract chicken, the Colorado Avalanche superstar signed a monster eight‑year extension worth $20.4 million AAV — sliding just under the current max of $20.8M and resetting the market exactly as expected. Colorado beat the September 15th deadline, locking in one of the last eight‑year deals the NHL will ever see before max terms drop to seven. It’s a win for the Avalanche, a win for Makar, and a deal that will echo acro

    Stan Bowman’s Quietest Mistake Is About to Blow Up Edmonton’s Goaltending Plan (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Stan Bowman has done some genuinely strong work during his time with the Edmonton Oilers. He’s modernized parts of the roster, found value in overlooked players, and stabilized areas that had been weak for years. But he’s also made a few eyebrow‑raising decisions — the kind that linger long after the signing day glow fades. Josh Brown’s three‑year deal on July 1, 2024 remains one of those moves. Yes, it can be buried. Yes, it doesn’t hurt the NHL roster. But it was puzzling then, a

    The Missing Piece: Why Michael Bunting Might Be Exactly What the Oilers Need (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When former Leafs GM Kyle Dubas let Zach Hyman walk to Edmonton, Toronto fans were furious and Oilers fans were ecstatic. Many Leafs fans called it a disastrous contract and insisted Hyman wouldn’t live up to the deal. We all know how that turned out. Shortly after, Dubas signed Michael Bunting to a two‑year, $950K AAV deal — praised at the time as a cheaper, younger Hyman replacement. To Bunting’s credit, he delivered two excellent seasons in Toronto, posting 63 and 49 points, still the
