Drury Addresses Needs Early

Chris Drury pulled the trigger on a trade, acquiring right winger Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Niko Mikkola from the St Louis Blues, in exchange for winger Sammy Blais, minor league prospect defenseman Hunter Skinner and two picks. For the best part of two years, Gallant has struggled to solve the top six, and while the new-found confidence of the Kid Line is giving […]

Robertson And 18 Others Reassigned

Going into training camp, there was some thought that Matthew Robertson might be able to compete for the vacant defensive spot, but it appears he’s further away than many of us thought.  The 21 year old was one of 19 players – mostly AHL contracted – who went sent down today ahead of games tonight and tomorrow. […]

Prospect Camp Roster Announced

Last year’s development and prospect camps never came to fruition, a victim of the COVID pandemic that saw the 2019-20 season suspended, and a draft held out in October.  Over a year later, and the normal fixture that occurs right after the NHL Draft has been moved out as a replacement for the Traverse City […]

Camp Set To Start Around September 22nd

Perhaps the only advantage of the ongoing COVID situation is that this season’s Summer is about a month shorter than normal.  Normally you’d expect a team that missed the playoffs to be off the ice in early April, and then a substantial gap between the July1st free agency period and the restart of festivities in […]

Rangers Expected To Buyout DeAngelo

The Rangers may have changed management and coaching staff, but the expectation that the Rangers will buy out defenseman Tony DeAngelo from his final contract year remain. Suspended since an altercation with goaltender Alexandar Georgiev on January 31st, following a 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins, in which the pair had a mix-up that lead to the […]

Fox Wins Norris – Miller All-Rookie D

Generally I pay little attention to the NHL awards, they are far from objective for the most part, particularly with awards such as the Norris Trophy and the “Best NHL Defenseman”, where the winner is almost always featured amongst the top offensive defensemen, and not necessarily the ones who actually defend. Perhaps they should create […]
