Hockey Talk And Whispers
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
- Dale Tallon’s status as executive of the year has taken a hit after a disastrous season in Florida. The catchy phrase “Red Rising” should be changed to “Seeing Red” after an embarrassing year. Signing winger Alexei Kovalev was the first mistake and veteran defenceman Ed Jovanovski didn’t work, either. Then, there was the whole...

Adam French: All-Time Coyotes/Jets Left Wingers

NHL's biggest salary cap space hogs
The NHL Draft weekend gave teams an opportunity to shuffle assets and, in some cases, clear some salary cap space. But many teams still face cap challenges due to the dead weight on their books.
