Flyers return most of defense, but two youngsters are pushing -
The Flyers are bringing back the majority of their defense from last season’s playoff team.At the NHL draft in late June, Danny Briere wasn’t bothered by that idea. This offseason, the Flyers held onto Rasmus Ristolainen, who’s entering the final year of his contract. In a four-player trade two months ago, the club parted ways with Emil Andrae and acquired Simon Benoit. Other than that, the Flyers’ defense stayed mostly intact.“We have the same top five defensemen that took us to

Blackhawks History: Expansion Draft Losses -
With the NHL continuing to talk about expansion, the Blackhawks might need to start considering who they might protect in a future expansion draft. As talks progress around potential ownership groups in Texas and potentially Atlanta, Arizona or Quebec, the Blackhawks are still trying to build the core of a competitive team. That won’t make things easy if/when the time comes to decide which players are deemed “untouchable.” Which brings us to today’s Blackhawks history lesson. Since the Gary Bettman-led NHL started to aggressively expand 35 years ago, the Blackhawks have been forced to make similar choices. There have been some tough decisions made. And, in one instance, there was a crazy game played with a goaltender in net for Chicago who wouldn’t appear in another NHL game. Going all the way back to the Sharks joining the NHL in 1991, here’s the Blackhawks’ history of losing players to NHL expansion.

Korchinski and Rinzel, Nazar and Fantilli, Sneaky Draft Value, and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
A lot of questions recently in the comments here and on social media about the future of Kevin Korchinski with the Blackhawks, so a question from me: what happens if he out-performs Sam Rinzel in training camp? I don’t think that’s a crazy potential scenario; it could happen. Ian Cole was brought in because he has experience playing both sides, and Korchinski spent a fair amount of time on the right side in Rockford last year. I’ll go a step further: if Rinzel spends some time in Rockford this coming season, I wouldn’t be overwhelmingly disappointed and I wouldn’t consider that a career-ending, trajectory-ruining move for the player or the organization. For all of the reasons I have said Korchinski isn’t a finished product — Rinzel isn’t, either. Also: Rinzel can go to the AHL without requiring waivers; Korchinski (and Ethan Del Mastro) need to c

Some young players will be involved but the roster is largely decided except a couple of positional battles that you could consider. Once the team starts to whittle down its roster, they have to eventually make the call and put some players on the waiver wire. It’s unavoidable to put at least a couple of players who have not made the NHL roster all the way out there and available for any of the 31 other teams to take for completely fre
