2025 NHL Free Agency Open Thread -
We’re at a very interesting juncture of the off-season with the 2025 NHL Entry Draft now behind us and NHL Free Agency coming up. Free agency begins on Tuesday at noon ET with the NHL salary cap increasing $7.5 million to $95.5 million next season. That’s the largest season-to-season jump since the salary cap was implemented in 2005, giving teams more money to spend to upgrade their rosters. In tangible terms, that’s at least two decent players worth of cap room being added to the table. For the Buffalo Sabres, General Manager Kevin Adams made two trades leading up to and during the draft, both of which were of the cap clearing variety, moving out JJ Peterka and Connor Clifton, while adding three players who are all on much lower contracts. The next day or two will basically prove whether the fans’ growing suspicion that owner Terry Pegula is going to attempt to pinch pennies, or indeed he’s going to back Adams and spend to t

Noah Dobson and emerging from the rebuild mindset -
It has been quite a year since the last NHL Draft for the Montreal Canadiens. Twelve months ago they left Las Vegas with Ivan Demidov in their back pocket and looked poised to take a big step forward. The expectation around the team was that they were supposed to be “in the mix” for the playoffs even if they were to end up falling short of qualifying. The team made a splash by acquiring Patrik Laine, giving them a legitimate all-world shot to round out their top six and saw David Reinbacher make his full-time North American debut. Without rehashing the entire season, by the time things came to an end the Habs not only ended up in the mix, they ended up in the NHL playoffs. While the experience was short-lived, it was clear that the franchise was preparing to move into the next phase of their rebuilding plan heading into the 2025 off-season. The club had already added Demidov for the final run to the playoffs, they had old salary retentions coming off the books

Buffalo Sabres Don’t Sleep on Bedkowski -
Big-checking defenseman will be a hit with fans The Buffalo Sabres ticked me off on Saturday, dealing away their 2nd round draft pick. Especially with several 1st round level players still on the board. Big, physical hockey players who play with an edge – that was the theme of Buffalo’s drafting this year. They had a primo opportunity to grab one of the best available. Alas, they made a deal with Pittsburgh instead that hopefully works out for the Sabres. Stay tuned on that one. The Blue and Gold found a rare gem (at least in these parts) in the 3rd round though. Meet David Bedkowski, a 6′ 4″ right shot defenseman who takes pride in his physical game. He loves to deliver bone rattling checks along the boards or a big open ice hit. Here is a quote from him on https://www.nhl.com/sabres “A big open-ice hit, it can change the course of a game, shift the momentum,” Bedkowski

A Plethora Of Hockey Notes -
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, - The unnecessary move to decentralize the NHL draft was voted on by the current general managers. Now it’s time to vote again — and turn the draft back into what it used to be. The NHL is at its best when it sticks to nuance and history and convenience. When it tries to be what it’s not, as it did on Friday night, it winds up tripping all over itself. There was nothing more awkward watching from home than having newly drafted players talking to their general managers on video screens. The whole thing made me uncomfortable as someone who previously was a big fan of the all-teams-on-the-floor NHL draft. - If it didn’t cost much for the Red Wings to pick up goaltender John Gibson from Anaheim, it got me thinking: Why didn’t Edmonton make a deal for Gibson? - The Wings have missed the playoffs nine years in a row. They need to be aggressive this off-season. Buffalo has missed 14 in a row. The Sabres need to b
