Oilers Could Use Puck-Moving Defenseman
from Jim Matheson of The Cult of Hockey, Last year, the Edmonton Oilers’ rallying cry was “where’s the face-off man?” but this year it’s “where’s the puck-mover?”
Without Ryan Whitney, it’s painfully obvious that the Oilers No. 1 need is somebody to get the puck to Taylor Hall and Co for the quick breakout. There are too many...

As training camps sit just a couple weeks away, there are still several NHL veterans looking for jobs. Though most of them are in the twilight of their respective careers, most are still searching for one last shot at glory before they decide to call it quits.
However, as September wears on, any chance of these guys being picked up begins to get less and less certain. Though some...

In the next week or so, expect Snow to extend invites to a handful of...

Why is Bryan McCabe still a free agent?

The NHL’s unemployed free-agent defensemen club
Colin White made $3 million for the New Jersey Devils last season, the fifth year of a six-year contract worth $18 million. The team gave him a buyout and he ended up inking a 1-year, $1-million deal with the San Jose Sharks and includes a modified no-trade clause.
So that's the market for a 33-year-old defensive defenseman at this point in the offseason.
