The Toronto Maple Leafs have been in salary cap troubles since signing their big four forwards to massive deals.

They needed successors to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, […]

Team USA entered this tournament on a mission to win their fifth straight Olympic Gold Medal. The Americans won the Men’s basketball tournament in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020, but this lineup of legends hasn’t won a gold medal together. Stephen Curry has never won a gold medal. Lebron James won in 2008 and 2012, […]

Dodgers fans close your eyes, we’re about to make the case for Shohei Ohtani to become a full-time hitter. It’d be a difficult pill to swallow after paying him $700 million to be their ace and their best hitter. However, who knows how much Ohtani could grow as a hitter if he put all his […]

The Florida Panthers don’t have many things to change about their past four months. They went on a dominant run through the Stanley Cup Playoffs, ending in a Game 7 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees have been battling for the top spot in the American League East since the beginning of the season, with the Orioles sitting half a game back.

Pavel Buchnevich may not be a name that hockey fans think deserves an $8 million cap hit from the St. Louis Blues on his contract extension.

The St. Louis Blues are left wondering what they can do to return to the playoffs next season. They were hot down the stretch, led by their defensive core of Torey Krug, Nick Leddy, and Justin Faulk, and almost snuck into a wild card spot. They finished six points short of that spot and fell […]

The Colorado Avalanche made light work of the Winnipeg Jets in the first round of the playoffs.

It wasn’t an easy 2023-24 season for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The year started with tons of hope as Adam Fantilli made the team out of training camp.

The Vancouver Canucks are right up against the salary cap, which is why they may target a trade before the beginning of the regular season.

The Vegas Golden Knights have been one of the best teams in the league since their debut in 2017-18. Their core included players like Shea Theodore, William Karlsson, and Brayden McNabb, but they were never able to get the team over the hump. It took Kelly McCrimmon bringing in players like Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, […]

Tyler Toffoli has been on a long road leading up to his return to California to play with the San Jose Sharks. It’s a bold move for a player who has only been on contending teams in his career, but we have some predictions about Toffoli’s Sharks tenure. Toffoli began his career with the Los […]

The Vancouver Canucks finally gave Jake Debrusk his wish and got him away from the Boston Bruins after signing him to a seven-year contract at the beginning of free agency.

The Boston Bruins have been kicking the tires on Elias Lindholm for the past two years. Lindholm opted to test free agency instead of signing back with the Canucks, and his reward was a seven-year, $54.25 million contract.
