Rory Boylen

As the dust settles on the trade deadline and focus turns to the push for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, we take one look back at how two bubble teams did business quite differently.

There’s an interesting quirk to this trade deadline season. Some teams at the bottom of the standings, in the best position to sell off players, don’t actually have many attractive assets for contending teams. Rory Boylen takes a look at what that means for the market.

Even though he’s slowed down considerably this season, Alex Ovechkin is still on pace to approach Wayne Gretzky’s record in 2026. As for Auston Matthews, he’s scoring at a better pace than Ovechkin at the same age -- so when will he enter this conversation?

With the March 8th trade deadline fast approaching and the playoff picture coming into focus, how many teams will feel bold enough, or have the assets to, take a big swing on the market? Rory Boylen takes a look.

It’s about the time of year when trade rumours really pick up steam and we get an idea of who’s buying, selling and still deciding what the plan is. Here’s our look at the teams shaping up to be the most interesting, whether by March 8, or beyond...

On Saturday, for the second time this season, all 32 teams will play. With that in mind, Rory Boylen takes a look at one question facing each team heading into the second half of the season.

A month and a half into the NHL season we’re at the all-important American Thanksgiving mark and right around the corner from the quarter-mark, where teams begin to form opinions about themselves and how they fit into the competitive environment of 2023-24. But there are still questions left to unfurl.

The sun rose in Edmonton this morning, where Kris Knoblauch will try to pick up the pieces of a Stanley Cup contender that is unfathomably the second-worst team in the league after 13 games.

The Edmonton Oilers start Tuesday six points out of a playoff spot. If they don’t close that gap in the next two weeks, they’ll have to do something only a few teams have in the cap era to just qualify for the playoffs.

It’s Halloween, but there are no treats in this piece. Rory Boylen, and the fans of these teams involved, are feeling some level of concern with the way things have gone so far.

For the second time in history, all 32 NHL teams will play. To celebrate this and set up an action-packed Tuesday, Rory Boylen gives us a nugget on every team.

In this week’s collection of players, Rory Boylen looks at Alex Ovechkin’s slow start, compares Cale Makar to Bobby Orr, and much more.

The Buffalo Sabres made big, early bets on a young core of players before they, or the team, have accomplished anything. And it could set them up to explode as a contender.

As we get ready for another NHL season, grab a coffee, have a laugh, blow a gasket and wonder how, exactly, Rory Boylen landed on these 32 bold predictions ... one for each team.

So far we’ve shared with you what we think we know about the Atlantic, Metropolitan and Central Divisions and now we finish with our look at the Pacific, where last year’s champions came from (and may come from again in 2024).

The Metropolitan Division has a couple Stanley Cup contenders, a bounce back candidate or two and one possible riser to watch. Here’s what we think we know about the division.

It can be easy to forget some of what’s changed, or where certain teams are at, when we all come together again in September. So, with training camps opening, Rory Boylen catches you back up with something to remember about each of the NHL’s 32 teams.
