Not sure it’s really being talked about enough — but Ottawa has had their best offseason (maybe ever) just months after being taken over in ownership by two female college students in Anna and Olivia Melnyk. One of the best hockey stories you’ll ever see.

I really like Valimaki. Another guy who just fits the system flawlessly.

Jackson Blake’s patience and poise in the offensive zone is mental. Unbelieveable goal

Props to both Deslauriers and Jeannot, both tough SOBs. Banger scrap right there

I feel like Khusnutdinov would be an incredible Hurricane. Such a Brind’Amour player

Gotta be honest, most of these are like….Meh (or worse). Early impressions are the Ducks, Panthers and Leafs are bangers. The rest….idk. Gotta see how they look on the ice, obviously.
EXCLUSIVE: The Jersey Nerds can confirm with near certainty the designs for 20 of the NHL's Hometown Remix jerseys. Thanks to @abslswrld for helping us out with these! Going alphabetically, starting with Anaheim, Boston, Buffalo, and Carolina.

Honestly surprised by this take from Willy. I get the “during vs after the game” discourse, but man the Canes were flopping around like fish and playing duck duck goose after winning games 😂 End of the day, hockey is a game. Have fun out there.
"I hate it." Justin Williams was not a fan of Matvei Gridin doing the griddy after his second goal of the game. 🎥: Sportsnet | #Flames

No team in the league is trading a 23-year old PPG winger on one of the best value contracts in the entire league for a 34-year old goaltender. I checked the Kings roster to offer a Blake comparable so you’d understand but unfortunately they have no young forward worth a damn.
Replying to @bedsyology
Yeah, yeah ever made a mistake. His dad played for my team so it was on my mind. I’m sorry I meant Jackson McDavid the way all you guys make this guy sound like he’s the best player in the league and you can’t trade him for a Hall of Fame goalie OK

Alex Nikishin, signed 1x$3M by CAR, is a toolsy offensive defenceman with an aggressive play style. Did not have a great playoffs and struggled to maintain the coach's trust.

Watching last night’s game back and if Kochetkov can stay healthy and continue his current form, the Canes will be just fine in goal. His aggressive style is a thing of beauty when it’s clicking. He’s not forcing things and clearly tracking the puck very well.

How long until the general consensus for fans around the league is that Jake Sanderson is a top-5 defenseman? Might be the best TWO-WAY defenseman in hockey right now.

If he doesn’t wanna come back, just let him sit at home until you’re blown away with a trade offer — if/when that day comes. Valimaki showed me something last night. Nystrom & Legault will be options this winter/spring. Reilly is fine. The depth is there.
Pierre LeBrun: The Hurricanes have told Alexander Nikishin...if they’re open to it, they will bring him back on a one-year deal, then they can figure it out next summer; so far, the only thing the player has really thought about is getting dealt - Insider Trading (10/22)

It’s hilarious that Jets fans were acting like Nikishin was a nothing burger and saying “it will take Jarvis or Blake” only for them to end up with Dawson Mercer, a high-school student and a few spare parts 😂😂😂😂😂

Honestly not even sure what to make of this. Just feels underwhelming all around, for all parties involved. 🤷‍♂️
We have acquired: 🏒 F Dawson Mercer 🏒 F Alexander Command 🏒 G Nico Daws 🏒 F Nick Bjugstad 🔢 and two draft picks

All of this just to bow out to Pyotr Kochetkov and Brandon Bussi
So the Metro now has Shesterkin*, Sorokin, Hellebuyck, Thompson. Loaded. #NHL
