Ivan Demidov ranks among the NHL’s elite in terms of average shot speed
Mathis Therrien

We all fell in love with Ivan Demidov the moment he was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens with the 5th overall pick in 2024. Fans were already aware of Demidov’s superstar potential back then, which explains why the flight to Montreal was so closely followed—and why so many #93 jerseys sold out so quickly. Not […]

Top 15 CH Prospects: Positions 9 through 7
Tony Patoine

We left off last week with the trio of Tim Runtso, Florian Xhekaj, and Adam Engstrom. No stars—or even impact players—in sight here. At best, they’re solid role players who could have a decent career spanning a few hundred NHL games. The trio we’re featuring this week seems capable of reaching greater heights—at least in […]

Rantanen Trade: The Stars had offered Jason Robertson to the Hurricanes
Mathis Therrien

We all remember the huge Mikko Rantanen situation that unfolded at the 2025 trade deadline, when the then-Colorado Avalanche forward was traded from the Carolina Hurricanes to the Dallas Stars in the space of just a few days.

Arber Xhekaj would be better off away from Montreal, according to Stu Cowan

Vincent Larue

The Ducks have decided to bet big on their young core. Very big, in fact. After matching the hostile $18 million-a-year offer made to Leo Carlsson, Anaheim must now find a way to reach an agreement with Cutter Gauthier. The young forward just had a 41-goal season, and all signs point to him also being […]

It has now been four seasons since Carey Price played his last professional game in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens. His career officially came to an end this summer with the expiration of his famous eight-year contract worth $10.5 million annually, but it had been clear for some time that he wouldn’t […]
