Canadiens Trade Package for Kirill Marchenko â Would You Accept? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kirill Marchenkoâs name refuses to leave the rumour mill. Heâs 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 â Montrealâs Russian core is growing, their prospect pool is loaded with highâend 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: Oilersâ Delay Could Cost Millions on Matt Savoie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fraser Minten just signed a sevenâyear deal with the Boston Bruins worth $7.2 million AAV â the latest example of the NHLâs new trend: longâterm, highâAAV bets on young players who havenât 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 longâterm extens
Cale Makar Cashes In: Avalanche Lock Up a Superstar, Inherit a Cap Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Stan Bowman has done some genuinely strong work during his time with the Edmonton Oilers. Heâs modernized parts of the roster, found value in overlooked players, and stabilized areas that had been weak for years. But heâs also made a few eyebrowâraising decisions â the kind that linger long after the signing day glow fades. Josh Brownâs threeâyear deal on July 1, 2024 remains one of those moves. Yes, it can be buried. Yes, it doesnât 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)
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 wouldnât live up to the deal. We all know how that turned out. Shortly after, Dubas signed Michael Bunting to a twoâyear, $950K AAV deal â praised at the time as a cheaper, younger Hyman replacement. To Buntingâs credit, he delivered two excellent seasons in Toronto, posting 63 and 49 points, still the
