TRAIKOS: Why the Coyotes — and several other NHL teams — are ... (Toronto Sun)

TORONTO — In Connor Bedard's first 10 games this year, the No. 1 prospect in next year's NHL draft scored nine goals and 10 assists, while providing a full ...

That’s still to be defined. But keep in mind that at this time last year, scouts thought that Shane Wright was that guy. Part of that has to do with Armstrong’s predecessor, John Chayka, who wasted top picks on players who have not panned out (Barrett Hayton and Dylan Strome) or had them taken away for breaking the draft rules. So was Bryan Little, who hasn’t played a game since November 2019. Andrew Ladd was traded here two years ago as a salary dump. Travis Boyd, who was playing on the Leafs’ fourth line a couple of years ago, is centring the Coyotes’ top line. Clayton Keller, who led the team in scoring, tied for 70th overall. By then, the team is expected to have moved on from top-pairing defenceman Jakob Chychrun, who has already asked for a trade. That’s a full month spent living in a hotel on the road. We’re going to compete for every inch every night. That certainly seems to be the objective. Article content

Analyzing If 10 Youngest NHL Teams Will Be Pretenders or ... (Bleacher Report)

With the season under way and every team (mostly) having their rosters to compete and fit under the salary cap, we all got to see just how old and young ...

The pressure is on to get it together—and fast. Those players are already in the NHL and are key contributors if not necessary pieces to their success. And that’s been one of their better drafts in the past 10 years. The Vancouver Canucks are in limbo because they still haven’t decided whether they’re in or out on committing to a rebuild. For now, they’ve got a young roster and will try to figure it out on the fly. The Devils had the fifth-best odds to land the top pick in the 2022 draft lottery but landed the No. 2021 first-rounders Luke Hughes and Chase Stillman remain with their teams in the University of Michigan and the OHL, respectively, but aren’t far off. Things are looking up for Columbus, but the Blue Jackets will need a couple of additional years to mature and flourish. The stockpile of promising players left from Marc Bergevin’s time as GM is on the verge of making it to the NHL as well. In that deal with the Blackhawks, Columbus added defenseman Adam Boqvist and a 2021 first-round pick they used to select forward Cole Sillinger. Where the Jackets’ future gets bright is in how they’ve used their recent picks and the acquisitions they made through the Seth Jones trade. Arizona has struggled to draft well and develop players, putting general manager Bill Armstrong, who took over in September 2020, in a tough position to start the process himself.

Huskies Kicker Solie is Canada West Special Teams Player-of-the ... (CJWW)

Saskatchewan kicker David Solie earned another Canada West Conference special teams player-of-the-week honour ...

Solie’s skill was evident as he knocked down the lengthy kick, giving his team a cushion they would later need as Regina came surging back for a touchdown as time wound down. Meanwhile, Jordan Chizda of the Calgary Dinos was determined to change his team’s luck after a tough start to the season. Calgary would go on to add an assurance marker in the fourth, but Chizda’s play was instrumental in the team notching its first win of the season. He frustrated the Alberta offence once more with another grab to give his team possession. Solie made three field goals as the Huskies held off Regina 23-20 this past Saturday to remain undefeated at 6-0 and clinch a first place finish in the Canada West football standings. CALGARY – Canada West football returned from its bye weekend with a vengeance.

Team Gushue's Walker welcomes return to Grande Prairie for Tour ... (The Grand Slam of Curling)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — It's a Grand Slam homecoming this week for Geoff Walker during the HearingLife Tour Challenge at the Coca-Cola Centre.

The semifinals are set for Saturday evening with both finals on tap for Sunday. Scotland’s Team Mouat also took the steal express train to roll past Canada’s Team Horgan 8-2. The HearingLife Tour Challenge is the second of six events on the 2022-23 Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling calendar with two tiers and a total of 64 teams. “Sometimes those are unfortunate but the ice in the first game is always a little bit of a challenge and it can get you. “We’ve been on the right side of some big steals the last few games actually with the one against (Korey) Dropkin last event,” Walker said. “I’ve got family and friends here and grew up not too far down the road,” Walker said.
