With Shea Weber locked into a 14-year contract and Tobias Enstrom signing a five-year contract extension with the Jets yesterday, Vancouver defenseman Alex Edler becomes the biggest prize in the potential 2013 unrestricted free agent market for D-men.
But will Edler ever make it to the open market? I suspect the answer is no.
It is both in his own best interests and the best interests of M...

When the Nashville Predators matched the Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet to Shea Weber last week, there were several other teams that privately breathed a huge sigh of relief.
It wasn't for hockey reasons. Rather, it was because these other teams are either located in secondary NHL markets or because they have had recent or semi-recent ownership question marks. The...

The Toronto native is on the market and looking for a new club. More importantly, he’s looking for an opportunity to prove that his injuryâ...

Yesterday I posted the worst players by team adjusted Corsi rating. There were two players who are runaway leaders. They are Manny Malhotra of Vancouver who posts a -335.2 team adjusted Corsi and Jim Slater of Winnipeg who posts a -333.8 adjusted Corsi. These two players are more than 50 points worse than any other in the league. Manny Malhotra is a far more excusable.Â...

Heading up to Wednesday's offer-sheet matching deadline, hockey pundits from TSN to some guy in his mom's basement were all crying the same thing: "David Poile has no choice! He must match the Flyers' offer sheet to Shea Weber! The Predators can't lose both of their top defensemen in one off-season!"
It was a gimmie. A "no duh" signing, if you...

As signings and trades are starting to settle down around the NHL, the focus is onto the Free Agent Market. There is not to much available, plain and simple. The Nashville Predators are still in need of a top six forward and a Ryan Suter replacement at defense. Both of those needs haven't been met yet, and time is ticking.
Getting a replacement for Ryan Suter is at the top...
