A quick mix of what we collected from the hockey week, earnestly and less, and rolled deeply four rows. Your favorite role-player is already thinking about Cabo.
Chasing centers like Brayden Schenn of St. Louis (until $6.5 million AAV in 2028) or Dylan Cozens of Buffalo ($7.1 million to 2030), Aligned with Toronto’s needs and means.
Since there is no first round of 2025 in the air, it is almost impossible.
A second round pick can bring decent depth, but with a division title and encouraging goalkeeper hopes, it’s a bigger deal for players with semesters.
This means that the 2026 first round and/or Prospect Fraser Minten and/or Easton Cowan are available in the swivel packaging.
Treliving can only entertain similar works to return to the semester.
Hockey performance
Sportsnet’s Matt Marchese and former Los Angeles Kings executive Mike Futa take you to the National Hockey Show for SportsNet 590 fans, broadcast live nationwide every day from noon ET to noon PM.
The latest episode
As comfortable this season, it was impossible – with 10 goals and 26 points in 53 games, it’s no surprise that the rivals rang out Kevyn Adams, who was in the hot seat, probably Willing to gamble.
Six-foot-three, weighing 207 pounds, right shot, 23-year-old, 30-target center man again is impossible unless you pick in the top ten.
Of course, Toronto is very interested. There are 30 teams that should be.
But even if Adams wants to ignore history (Sam Reinhart, Ryan O’Reilly, etc.) and trade assets like this, why should he compete with division and geography? The opponent does this? Saber doesn’t need more prospects and draft picks. They need players.
Schenn Smoke feels more likely to be traced back to the flames, Doug Armstrong’s willingness to be creative, and the mutual admiration between Craig Berube and the current Captain Bruce.
The Blues want to make them young. Leaves only need to get Better.
Schenn brings experience, wins, edges, defensive responsibilities, secondary scores and lower hats.
If we want to go crazy, Brad Treliving could also wield a deal and grab an experienced defender from St. Louis, which is unlikely to make the dance.
Schenn has a 15-team no-trade roster, but would be wise to win the Cup in Berube’s Cup and get a thorough scout report from the Luke brothers on the Leafs Room.
Many executives and fans are worried that their star players will risk injury by participating in face-to-face meetings in 4 countries, so extending the possibility of running will be more violent than the usual All-Star Shinny.
Instead of watching doom, think in another way.
On the big stage, having a positive performance in some of the best games can boost confidence and drive some players to playoff great.
The Minnesota wilderness is in the middle of a point struggle, but coach John Hynes sees motivation only for participants in his room.
“A high-risk environment. It’s going to be really high-quality hockey. I think that letting our guys play in this experience, I think that helps them grow into players,” Haynes said.
“I obviously hope that everyone (healthy) will go well, but I do look at it from a growth perspective, it’s a great experience. I think it will benefit us.”
The Leafs have superstars from three countries who have never won five games in one playoff. What can the mid-season champion do to one of them?
Or take part in the regular season, like Connor Hellebuyck of the Jets struggling in April.
If Hellebuyck saw Winnipeg Deep’s ability as a victory, would he look at him differently?
3. A week starting today, Canada and the United States will remain parallel at the Bell Center in the four most anticipated round-robin rounds.
Just one idea: Has the NHL abandoned the pre-match anthem to avoid booing overshadow the potential of hockey?
Will they keep the national anthem for the final winner who will play in Boston?
“I guess January is a thing.” – La Kings captain Anze Kopitar, failed to score in his 13 games last month
5. Nazem Kadri believes we should be “very serious” in goalkeeper Dustin Wolf’s Calder candidacy.
“Just look at his numbers only,” Cardri said. “He’s a big player. He wants to play the stage. He wants to be great, he’s responsible, and it’s great to see.”
Our vote is only applied to the pencil, but if Wolf (19-11-2, .913 percent savings) can re-drive the flame to the universal card spot, then we will switch to ink.
6. The Columbus blue jacket cannot rest.
The second most popular team you have rooted in 2025 lost the highest goal percentage and most productive forward, Kirill Marchenko broke his chin indefinitely – on the substitute I suffered pain when I was on the table.
Surviving the Universal Card Game in the East has become increasingly difficult. Jackets won three consecutive victories this week. Considering that Marchenko’s game is perfect for the playoffs.
“His competition is about combat level, and his one-on-one competitiveness is great,” said coach Dean Evason.
“Of course, have we seen him have the ability to shoot, his ability to open and shoot a member and his wife and so on, so on, so on? Yes. But his competitiveness, willing to fight for loose Hockey and his willingness to get inside goals is exciting for us as a team.”
7. Quinn Hughes, America’s best defensive player, may have a hard time participating in a four-country standoff.
Although the Canucks won’t say it explicitly, they don’t want to play for someone other than Vancouver next week, when he could return to a tough playoff game.
Captain America Auston Matthews has not spoken to Hughes yet, and Hughes needs to make a decision as soon as possible.
“I’m really looking forward to playing with him. I don’t know what this is and whether he’s ready for the game,” Matthews said. “If he isn’t, it’s an unfortunate loss for us. I think it’s a good opportunity for others to step in. It’s a very stacked lineup, a lot of really great players. But when you lose a person who has the ability , it’s always difficult.
“I mean, he put the puck on the sticks the whole game. He drove away most of their offenses, too. He did a lot of games and brought good attractions to the forwards. In the power game, he was extremely good at playing. Deceptive and dynamic. He is able to shoot hockey. He is very deceptive in making dramas and through many people can’t do it.”
8. Matthew Knies scored on Thursday at a highly questionable high stick in Seattle. Then he squeezed the boy, Convinced Shooter Jake McCabe first takes part in a celebrating bench parade to deceive officials who think they have no deflection.
“Maybe he didn’t realize there were a thousand cameras in the stands and in the stadium,” Matthews said, giggling. “Whatever happens, they’ll look at it. But I’ll definitely work on it.”
9. The Maple Leafs barely brought one of their games to the excellent climate commitment arena Thursday and are still cruising on the rudderless Seattle Kraken.
Where is this franchise? How much does their sophomore season feel like Haishi Rage Building?
Kraken dropped to No. 24 in 2023-24 in 2023-24. Since finishing 12th in total and ending Colorado’s repeated bids in the 1st Round Shocker.
They fired the coach and threw a tech fund in the free agent – and it got worse.
Seattle plans to rise, but at 29th pace and has fallen below the Pacific that should have been rebuilt (Anaheim, Calgary).
Beautiful ice skating rink in smart location. Great city. A first-class gaming experience. The only thing Seattle needs to figure out is hockey. Some legitimate star powers will help.
10. Morgan Frost saw a familiar face and went through a full-circle moment when it switched to Calgary flames.
He is working with flame skills consultant Matt Stajan.
Stajan is Frost’s father – one of the Leaf players of game announcer Andy Frost, introducing young Morgan to future Nhler around dad’s office The growing age of wandering around.
“I had to be around some guys, always in the locker room and near the rink, so I’m really grateful for the opportunity when I was a kid,” Frost said. “I think it helped me fall in love with the game more. I’ve always said about it.” grateful.”
Stajan, however, wasn’t the player that young Frost absolutely loved as a kid.
He is a big Kyle Wellwood.
11. Bobby McMann grew up in an oil country. In the thriller in Edmonton last Saturday, Alta.
He believes that about six closest supporters will reach Snowy Tree south to Calgary in three nights to capture the Leaf Card. Well, his guest roster tripled, and his total score of goals in the annual Alberta Tour doubled.
Of all the fans he attended, one stands out: Grandma Myrna, who saw Bobby play in the NHL for the first time in the barn.
“It’s great to see my grandmother. I think she’s been watching every game since I was in my junior year. Not missing one. So, for her, it’s cool to see a live stream. Seeing me score, ” McMahon said. “I think that’s very special.”
McMann is now in a three-game winning streak, saving these rare mid-season trips.
“It’s just trying to enjoy and have fun, not trying to put too much pressure on it. Just go and play my game,” McMann said. “Try playing at speed. Usually, when I do that, good things happen. So it’s really fun and it’s nice to meet a lot of family and friends.”
Despite dressing up for 10 more games last season, McMahon has set a career high in goals (17) and points (25). Not bad for open night scratches.
12. Josh Leivo became…Mike Bossy at the age of 31?
Front maple leaves, flames, adders, hurricanes and blue have one command Lead in the KHL goal match (40) and points match (63).
You have to scroll all the way back to 2011-12 to find another 30-goal season on Leivo’s resume. That’s the stud he is Ohl Sudbury wolf.
The surge in veteran Levo is great for both players and UFA Salavat Yulayev. This also shows that the best unexplored non-realization talent may no longer exist in K.
