Starting the season well is always critical. As the old saying goes, you can’t make the playoffs in the first month… but you can make the battle to get in a lot harder. And this season is expected to be a big step forward for the Chicago Blackhawks, which means they’ll want to get off to a hot start. What makes it hard to determine which Blackhawks could, based on their track record, get off to a hot start is how young the roster is going to be in the 2026-27 sea

We’ve reached the final days of August, which means NHL training camps are just around the corner. With few transactions occurring these days, teams have most of their rosters locked down and a good idea of what their salary-cap situations will look like for the upcoming season. That also means it’s time to kick off another year of the salary cap rankings at Daily Faceoff, in which we look at all the different aspects of managing and excelling in the salary-cap era and rank teams based on how we

Macklin Celebrini very well could have pursued the maximum salary on his new deal. Instead, the 20-year-old star centre opted to go a more team-friendly route when he inked a five-year, $94 million contract extension with the San Jose Sharks this off-season. Set to kick in for the 2027-28 season, Celebrini’s upcoming contract carries an average annual value of $18.8 million, the highest in NHL history. The maximum salary a player can sign for in the NHL is 20 per cent of the team cap, curr

While everyone is excited about what is about to happen in the 2026-27 NHL season, it is worth taking a look at what is to come for some teams that continue to rebuild, or retool across the league. The best way for a team to lay a good foundation is to build from within their own ranks.

While some teams, such as the Vegas Golden Knights, feel like buying their way to wins, t
