Opinion: Building The Oilers’ Bottom Six

Redoing the bottom six. It seems to be a yearly occurrence for the Edmonton Oilers, whose heavy cap situation leaves them in a constant state of bottom six turnover.

With the Montreal Canadiens being in the Atlantic Division, there is no doubt that this year could end up being a long season for them.

Detroit Red Wings Trade for Jeff Petry, Son of a Detroit Legend

Steve Yzerman may have just fleeced another organization as he acquired defenseman Jeff Petry in a deal with the Montreal Canadiens. The Wings get Petry from Montreal in exchange for defenseman Gustav Lindstrom and a 2025 conditional fourth-round pick. The Canadiens will retain 50% of the remaining obligations pertaining to his contract (Detroit is to […]
