Why the Wild's Quinn Hughes isn't stressing about his next contract (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAS VEGAS â Sometimes, when an NHLerâs contract status is under scrutiny and heâs asked about it, heâll stall. Heâll spin yarns, filibuster, answer without really answering, do whatever he can to misdirect. But when Minnesota Wild superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes lays out the reasons heâs been slow getting to the negotiating table with GM Bill Guerin, itâs pretty legit. If you zoom out and understand the year Hughes just had, itâs no wonder he needed some space before ponderin
Dylan Larkin's trade request 'sucks,' but Alex DeBrincat still has his back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAS VEGAS â No general manager. Your captain wanting out. One of your teamâs top defensemen unsigned. Pretty much nothing is on solid ground for the Detroit Red Wings right now. It thus couldnât have been an easy assignment for the teamâs leading goal scorer, Alex DeBrincat, to sit down with reporters Tuesday evening for the 2026-27 NHL Player Media Tour in Vegas.

Read excerpt
The NHLâs MVP race seems to get murkier by the year, with the Professional Hockey Writers Association battling itself over whether to award the Hart Trophy to the player most valuable to his team or the best player, period. Some seasons, those two traits are very different, such as 2017-18, when Taylor Hall won the MVP carrying the New Jersey Devils to the playoffs when he clearly wasnât the most talented player in the NHL. Other years, the choice looks easier, such as last season, when Conn
Five NHL teams that look noticeably weaker going into 2026-27 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The NHLâs 84-game 2026-27 regular season begins Sept. 29, meaning training camps will start in mere weeks. We donât necessarily have to plant our flags on full predictions yet, but weâre starting to understand how the leagueâs power structure maps out with most teams almost done their offseason roster tinkering. Earlier this week, we explored the leagueâs most improved teams. But which franchises have declined the most on paper? These five stand out to me most as noticeably weaker year
