Don't be fooled by the Predators, they may use their extra cap for something BIG. Rumor has it that Shea Weber will be the Predators next captain. According to James Wisniewski’s agent, they are not ...

I have two pretty big trades to announce today, feel free to comment with your thoughts. Devils send: F Matt Halischuk Second round pick in 2011 Predators send: F Jason Arnott   Personally, I don't really like this deal, Arnott is still a good player, but his best days are behind him and his salary is a bit too high for my liking. Flyers send: D Ryan Parent ...

The St Louis Blues organization was busy today making two trades in the hopes to improve their team. Here is an overview of them: St. Louis sends: F Lars Eller F Ian Schultz Montreal sends: G Jaroslav Halak I'm personally surprised that Halak is on the move instead of possibly Price because of the way Halak played in the playoffs. St. Louis gave up a fair bit in Eller and Schultz, but ...

Now that it's the offseason, writers like me love to speculate about what may occur based on what we hear. Here are the latest rumors from around the NHL.

Here is the latest.   It is believed that the New Jersey Devils are going to make a big push for Maple Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle. As a Devils fan, I am glad to see this.

I watched him play live for the Barrie Colts (OHL) and ...

Their has been a ton of Buzz around the NHL today.  Here is the latest along with my thoughts. The Carolina Hurricanes and forward Ray Whitney are not close on a contract extension and according to multiple sources the Hurricanes are going to let him walk.

Though there are not many options out there, I really do think the Devils are in search for a new starting goaltender. Here are some of the possible options for the starting goalie in New Jersey next season.   Martin Brodeur Obviously I would start with their current goaltender. Martin Brodeur has showed over the past few years that he can no longer win in the playoffs. While he has won a few Stanley ...

Though there are many rookies (drafted and yet to be drafted) to choose from, these select three have caught my eye.   Taylor Hall (Drafted by either Edmonton or Boston—likely Edmonton) While Hall has not yet been drafted, word is that he has already met with Oilers General Manager Steve Tambellini, and will be drafted first overall in the upcoming draft. I know what fans are thinking: The Oilers do not feature many good ...
