The NHL draft lottery has set the order for the first 15 picks of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, so it’s time to start planning when and where you’ll be watching the 53rd edition of the event in June. While there’s not a supreme talent like Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews in this year’s NHL…
We’ve looked at it from every angle, and just keep circling back to all the guys who were elite starters last year, we think (Raanta) can do that, said Chayka. I think he needs some opportunity and support, and I think he can be that guy for us. Last season Raanta who owns a Stanley…
Of all the bold proclamations made by P.K. Subban in the past week, he tucked the most outlandish at the end of an interview after an electric Predators Game 3 win.

Standing on the draft floor at the United Center, wearing a smile while speaking with reporters, Coyotes general manager John Chayka reflected on his busy Friday, one that did not yet include making a selection in the first round of the NHL Draft later that evening.

Marc Bergevin is no dummy. The Canadiens general manager knows he was damned if you do and damned if you don’t when it came to signing franchise goaltender Carey Price to a mega contract extension this weekend. Sign Price to an eight-year, $84 million extension a full year before he reaches unrestricted free agency and…
Sergachev, who started the 2016-17 campaign playing four games in Montreal before returning to junior hockey, is entering the first year of his three-year entry-level deal, making him not only a talented option for the Lightning blue line, but also an affordable one that does not need to be protected in the expansion draft, either….
Of the 1,670 NHL games Marleau has played in the regular season and playoffs, six have come in the Stanley Cup Final, and he has never hoisted hockey’s ultimate prize. He turns 38 in September and will be 41 at the end of this contract. The Sharks were offering two years and likely a better…
