Monster Contract: Zeev Buium Signs for More Money Than Demidov and Hutson

Big news in the NHL. Just minutes ago, the Vancouver Canucks reached an agreement with Zeev Buium on the terms of a contract extension. The defenseman, acquired in the Quinn Hughes trade, has signed on for eight more years in Vancouver. So, in an ideal world, he’ll be the Canucks’ defenseman of the future. And […]

Shane Wright: Good News for the Kraken (Whose Wish Didn’t Come True)

Shane Wright’s situation has been a talking point in the NHL this summer. The young center, who saw his performance dip in 2025–26 (27 points in 74 games), asked the Kraken to trade him during the offseason. And Jason Botterill, the general manager in Seattle, agreed to his request. So the question was: in whose […]

“It’s not impossible that Jacob Fowler could be used as a bargaining chip.”

As of today, Samuel Montembeault is still in Montreal. The goaltender, who has seen Jakub Dobes (and even Jacob Fowler) move ahead of him in the pecking order, was viewed by many as someone who might leave. That could still happen, mind you… but now more than ever, we have to consider a scenario in […]

Message to Kent Hughes: It’s possible to land a top-6 forward in September

Since the start of the summer, the CH has been unable to sign a top-6 forward. We suspect this is the club’s number-one priority, but no acquisition has been made so far. A ton of names have been floating around (and others, like Kirill Marchenko, continue to be the subject of speculation), but the trade […]

“Derek Lalonde would never have been hired without Martin St-Louis’s approval.”

As we know, the CH hasn’t made many moves this summer. The club hasn’t signed any NHL-caliber players… and its only real acquisition, in fact, came from behind the bench. We’re talking about Derek Lalonde, who joined the team as an assistant coach. We know that in recent years, the Canadiens have relied on a […]

Brendan Gallagher Explains Why the Canadiens’ Rebuild Worked

In recent years, the Canadiens have been rebuilding. The team hit rock bottom for a few years after reaching the finals in 2021, and that allowed them to draft some talented young players. Juraj Slafkovský and Ivan Demidov, who are already key players for the club, were selected in the top five of the draft. […]

Alexandre Carrier: David Reinbacher Is Putting Pressure on His Position

In just over two weeks, the Canadiens’ training camp will get underway. And of course, there are a few storylines we’ll be watching closely. Who will emerge as Ivan Demidov’s defensive partner? How will the team structure the bottom of its lineup? What will the plan be in net? But there’s also the case of […]

“In what world is Auston Matthews a better center than Nick Suzuki?”

Last Sunday, the NHL Network released its ranking of the top 20 centers in the NHL. Nick Suzuki, who was expected to rank fairly high on the list, came in ninth. Unsurprisingly, there are some players ahead of him. It would have been surprising to see him rank higher than Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, or […]

Frederik Andersen (already) injured: The nightmare begins again for the Oilers

For years, the Oilers have been searching for solutions in net. We’ve seen guys like Mike Smith, Mikko Koskinen, Jack Campbell, Stuart Skinner, Connor Ingram, and Tristan Jarry take turns as the team’s No. 1 goaltender over the past few seasons. And each time, the result has been… mediocre. This summer, the team tried once […]

Collapsed During Practice: A Blues Prospect Has Been in a Coma for Five Days

The NCAA, just like the NHL, is about to resume play. For example, we’ve seen Michael Hage and his teammates at Michigan gather on campus in the last few hours. The return of hockey is, more than ever, just around the corner. That said, we’ve witnessed a concerning incident in the college hockey circuit over […]
