The New York Islanders qualified for the playoffs for the third straight season in 2020-2021. Sneaking in after finishing in fourth place in the East Division, the team won 32 games during the NHL’s shortened 56 game season.
A team that was in the playoff mix until the end in the West Division, the season did not go according to plan for the Arizona Coyotes.
Every once in a while, a defenseman comes along and completely knocks your socks off. Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche is one of those players.
In a season where expectations were low, the Minnesota Wild surpassed those expectations and more. The Wild were in the fight for first in the Pacific Division until the bitter end with the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche. In the end, they finished third in the division and entered an intense playoff series with the Golden Knights.
The 2020-21 season might be one the Columbus Blue Jackets might want to forget. Instead, they should just go directly to the draft, where they have three first-round picks to add key players to their arsenal. While no one coach or player was responsible for what transpired, all can take some responsibility. If they can do that, then it’s possible next season will be a bounce-back year.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were trying to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions for the first time since the Pittsburgh Penguins.
As 30 NHL teams released their protected lists for the upcoming Seattle Kraken expansion draft, it is time to make
The Seattle Kraken are getting ready to begin their NHL journey with the Expansion Draft taking place on Wednesday. The expansion draft is taking place with the same rules as the 2017 Expansion Draft that gave us the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Nashville Predators made a push in the latter half of the season, winning 20 of their last 28 games. That allowed them to pass the Dallas Stars and make it into the postseason. However, an early exit shows there’s still a lot of work to be done in Smashville.
The final part of the Expansion Draft prediction series is here! If you have read the others, you know that the only division missing is the Metropolitan. As was the case with the Atlantic and Central, there are eight teams to break down here, so let’s dive right in.
While the Wild may have ruined the Central edition with their announcement of buying out Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, the Atlantic is still innocent for now. So, before Jack Eichel eventually gets traded, let’s grind through this division.
Leading up to the next expansion draft in the NHL on July 21st, we have been previewing each team’s potential protected list and which player they will lose to the Kraken. Today is the Central Division. After only six teams in the Pacific will need to participate (aside from the Kraken, of course), the Central’s eight is a big boost up. They will also have a new team in this division, or at least when the season resets officially on July 28th. So, let’s make some predictions.
