Every year around the trade deadline, rumors begin flying around every team, and big trades can happen in the blink of an eye. Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian were traded to the Buffalo Sabres in the first blockbuster trade of the year, and now Phil Kessel’s name is being tossed around in trade rumors.
With Glen Sather as general manager, trades are always a possibility. Last season he made headlines by sending then-captain Ryan Callahan to the Tampa Bay Lightning for their captain at the time, Martin St. Louis. Read the rest of this entry

With some of the player’s fathers along for the ride, the Rangers (31-16-5) will continue their road trip out in Denver, Colorado where they will take on the Avalanche (22-21-11), a team that is trying to stay relevant in the Western Conference.

Mats Zuccarello was the Rangers best player, scoring two goals, including a perfect wrist shot for the game winner. Rick Nash, who is normally the one scoring goals, was the playmaker for the night, tallying three assists, the first time he has done so since 2009. Derick Brassard also added two assists, breaking the 40 point mark in arguably the best start to a season in his NHL career. Read the rest of this entry
