Our new top prospect! ?I would have not made that pick without talking to the agent or the player,? Theofanous said in a phone interview. ?We have not had any communication with [the Steelheads]. It is not William?s intention to play [major junior] next season. It?s his intention to play for...

Lots of free agents, but I put a mix of the top guys there. Didn't put any goalies on the list, but I suppose if you only have a goalie in mind, you could pick "other".

Restricted List Monday will see a host of NHL teams extending qualifying offers to their pending restricted free agents, but some players will be cut loose to find new teams via unrestricted free agency. Players believed to be without offers include the Ottawa Senators' Jim O'Brien, Nathan...

I didn't know where to put this, there will likely be a flood of them during the silly season. This seems better than starting a new thread for updates that are of a smaller variety. TORONTO - Editor's note: Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis was one of several special guests at a charity...

I'm starting this thread to more or less start a conversation. I'm by no means a whiz when it comes to this subject, but it interests me and I think we have the quality of members here to do this topic some justice. I look around the league during this crazy time and see all the players that...

Just starting this thread for the inevitable flood of waiver wire action. At this time of the season, it will lead to several buyouts. Mirtle has a good piece here, with a tidbit about how the cap might go even higher. Along the way, there?ll be a lot of trade talk, too. This busy section of...

The Montreal Canadiens traded forward Louis Leblanc from the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday in exchange for a conditional fifth round draft pick in 2015.

Might as well start this years version of the Armchair GM thread, cutting from last year's. I built this roster based on somehow landing Statsny in free agency. I traded picks and prospects, along with Lupul and the rights to Reims and Franson and ended up with Evander Kane and Giordano. I...

So.... Connor Brown is making a statement! Connor Brown continued his assault on the OHL with another 7 points in 3 weekend games.  The Erie Otters are second to only the Kingston Frontenacs in goals for to start the season and Brown?s league leading 22 points are a big reason why.  Brown...

Michael Russo ‏@Russostrib 3m Backstrom agrees to three-year deal? The Wild has agreed to terms with its winningest goalie in franchise history. Niklas Backstrom has agreed to a three-year deal. I don't have an exact cap hit yet, but it's less than $4 million annually. Backstrom, the Wild's...

The Philadelphia Flyers have locked up one of their own restricted free agents, signing forward Jakub Voracek to a four-year, $17 million contract. The deal was first reported by Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia.

Andi Petrillo @andipHNIC     Hearing the Leafs have put in an offer to G Jonathan Bernier.     16 Jul 12 Via CBC's Andi Petrillo. It isn't much to go on, but it appears as if Brian Burke thinks the price may be right for the Leafs to acquire Los Angeles Kings' backup and former first-round...

The Leafs have agreed to terms with defenceman Simon Gysbers, who had five goals and 24 assists and was plus-13 in 68 games last season with the Toronto Marlies. *I didn't figure we needed a new thread for every signing. http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=1628 1 year deal 90k...
