I liked the Flyers and the Kraken. I like the Leafs logo of olde, but the jersey is eh. Fine.

If you missed it, the Leafs put Bo Groulx on waivers yesterday. If he clears, they can send him directly to the AHL or keep him as the 13th forward until John Tavares is ready to play. He's not quite there yet, but it shouldn't be too long.

Kucherov says trade request stems from ‘poor communication and respect’

Nikita Kucherov told reporters in Tampa on Monday that there have only been two conversations with Lightning management about a possible contract extension since he became eligible to sign on July 1.

Jim Hiller on turning back to Sergei Bobrovsky in net on Tuesday vs. Utah: "We have a plan... It’s been laid out for quite some time"

After Monday’s practice, Jim Hiller discussed the Maple Leafs’ goaltending plan, Sergei Bobrovsky’s preparation, Easton Cowan’s return to the top line, Dakota Joshua’s opportunity, and the need to limit turnovers ahead of the rematch against Utah.

Why time might be right for Capitals to make big swing

With trade talks surrounding stars at every position on the ice, Ryan Dixon explains why this might be the time for the Capitals to pounce.

Because SN is usually not the "what about those Capitals" sort of content site. I think this comes from the strange trade to add a third goalie the other day and the same speculation I indulged in because of it.

Also, everyone has a Kucherov trade idea.

Here's mine: Tampa has zero reason to do anything except sit back and watch other teams froth at the mouth over this. For months. Yes, they may trade him. But that will depend on where they're at, how he's playing and what the offers are.

This won't be solved in 2026.

There is a game today! The only one during this week, and it's the return engagement with the Mammoth. Preview will be out later. Have a great day!
