Cap Management – The BlackHawk Theory
Posted on 30 Jun 2010 by Corey Krakower.
Problem: With the introduction of the salary cap, teams have trouble remaining competitive, as they are forced to lose important players to other teams because they simply can’t afford to keep them all. Not to mention, in order to acquire “impact players”, you typically need to be lower in the standings to get a top 5 or top 10 pick in the draft. An organization can’t consistently expec...

Flame Make A Trio Of Moves
Posted on 4 Mar 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Darryl Sutter was busy today at the trade deadline making three moves in what he hopes will push the Flames into a playoff spot and perhaps deep into the playoffs. The first trade was a surprise and it wasn't at the same time. Dealing backup goaltender Curtis Mcelhinney to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for veteran backup goaltender Vesa Toskala. This move will do two things for the Flames. Numb...

NHL Trade Deadline LIVE BLOG
Posted on 3 Mar 2010 by Corey Krakower.
It’s one of my favorite days of the year – NHL trade deadline day! With many buyers and few sellers, it should be a very interesting day to say the least. A day filled with expiring contracts, veteran defensemen on the move, teams going all in and teams folding the hand that they know they can’t win. I will be updating this blog all day in real time with trades, rumors, speculation, signi...

Huet on the move?
Posted on 3 Mar 2010 by Trent Kondo.
The time has come for the Chicago BlackHawks to make a decision for this year's run at hoisting the Stanley Cup and the biggest decision is easily the goaltending depth with the current tandem of Christobal Huet and Antii Niemi. The goal-tending has been a major trending topic amongst BlackHawk fans, media, and hockey fans in general boasting that the Hawks will never win the cup with the 2 net...

Halfway through an electric Olympic Tournament in Vancouver, the rest of the NHL rests up for what will be an intense stretch run. What better time than to reflect on the season so far, and look forward to what will be? Here’s a less-than-abbreviated look at the Blackhawks 09-10 season as it breaks down. What We’ve Learned The Hawks come into the final stretch tied for most vi...

Canes Fall To Flames, Wallin Traded?
Posted on 4 Feb 2010 by Chris Cote.
In what was an expected outcome, the Carolina Hurricanes lost 4-1 to the Calgary Flames. Not too much to say about this one really, Calgary was the better team the entire game and deserved the win. Had the Hurricanes powerplay been on tonight, this may be a different game we're talking about right now but sometimes that's just the way things go. Also making noise in the league is th...

Morning ‘Would’
Posted on 22 Dec 2009 by Corey Krakower.
The Habs-Thrashers game last night was the epitome of the “New NHL”. Go take a look at the NHL standings and you'll see that a simple 3-5 game winning streak can take a team from the cellar to being a playoff contender. Besides the odd club (in this case Carolina); there is not one team in the entire league that an objective fan can say “that's an awful team with no ...

Talking Trades (part 2 – Western Conference)
Posted on 3 Dec 2009 by Corey Krakower.
In part 2 of “Talking Trades”, the insanely close and wildly unpreditacble Western Conference is analyzed. Anaheim – There is some talk of Scott Niedermayer potentially being shopped if the Ducks continue to struggle. There is a good chance that he will retire at the end of this season, meaning the Ducks may try to deal him and his expiring contract to a contender in exchan...

Whose Net is it Anyway?
Posted on 26 Oct 2009 by Corey Krakower.
I think it’s safe to say there’s a goalie controversy brewing in the city of Montreal. Jaroslav Halak has started and won the past 3 games and will be starting his fourth consecutive game tonight at home against the Islanders. This includes a 2-1 shootout win over Atlanta (23 shots against), a 5-1 win over the Islanders (22 shots against) and most recently he was in goal for t...

3 Trades I would make if I were Bob
Posted on 30 Jul 2009 by Corey Krakower.
I am not convinced that the Canadiens are done. There are still changes that need to be made to this team and assets they have that can be attractive to other teams. They could use a little more puck moving ability and speed from their defense, better secondary scoring and some more size up front. In the spirit of addressing those needs; here are the 3 trades I would make if I were Bob Gainey. ...
