That speculation has come to encompass just about every player on the roster. Right now, the two most highly-valued players reportedly on the market are both from Columbus' roster. Team captain and leading scorer Rick Nash, and big off ...

It seems like a long time ago now that it was announced that Chris Pronger would miss the rest of the season with a concussion. Concussion have become a normal part of life for fans of the NHL. There are times where every other week a player seems to be going down either with concussion symptoms or an 'upper body injury' right after they took a head hit. Of course, most of these players come back, or for mo ...

Recent moves have seen the trade market for blue-liners significantly thinned, though a couple of teams that have been looking for defensemen in Nashville and Philaelphia, are not looking anymore.

It's Saturday again and that means it is time for 'The Saturday Buzz'! This edition looks at a few key aspects of the trade deadline that maybe don't get spoken about enough, and will be actively considered by general managers as the deadline approaches. ...

The Vancouver Canucks had a very short summer, but it would have been a painful, frustrating one just the same. After an 82-game President Trophy winning season and 25 postseason games, the Canucks had come up short.

One of the great players of his era turns 40 today. Jaromir Jagr has spent the last 22 years impressing the hockey world with his incredible raw talent. It is amazing to look back on a career that began in 1990-91 with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where an 18-year old baby-faced smiling young man started what would be an amazing career. ...

Besides the All-Star festivities, there hasn't been much to cheer about in Ottawa of late. The Senators have managed just two wins in their last nine games, and they have fallen from potentially challenging Boston for the Northeast division title to battling for a playoff spot. The fact that Ottawa had played a busier month and a half prior to February meant that several teams have had the chance to catch t ...

There are no two ways about it. Tonight is a critical game for the Washington Capitals. A win would move them above Toronto and into eighth place, just two points behind Southeast division leaders Florida, and one point behind seventh place Ottawa with two games in hand. The game is a tough one against Pacific leading San Jose, but it has become very apparent that this is a team that needs to win its home g ...

The Montreal Canadiens have made themselves successful over the last decade by being a small, fast and skilled team, but that same success has left them seemingly unable to take the next step. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 1993, they have reached the playoffs in 11 out of 17 seasons, but aside from a remarkable run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2010 as the #8 seed, they have enjoyed little postseas ...
