In the wake of their 2025 Gilles-Courteau Trophy Championship, the Moncton Wildcats took advantage of new roster building avenues to short circuit the traditional rebuilding process in junior hockey and earn a second straight regular season title and Final appearance. This year, they’re hoping to travel the same path to keep that momentum alive. That path, of course, passes through the United States as another round of both new and existing American talent has moved up to the Hub City to keep the competitive juices flowing among Cats players and fans alike. Among the returnees up front are 40-goal scorer Niko Tournas and hard-working power forward Rian Chudzinski, a 2026 draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks. For the most part, however, there will be a largely new cast of characters vying to find the back of the net.

NHL Draft Classes Getting Paid: Examining Recent Contract Trends -
The summer of 2026 will be remembered as the summer the NHL went wild spending money. When Minnesota handed Kirill Kaprizov a contract with a $17M AAV one year ago it sent shockwaves around the NHL. That cap hit was $3M more than Leon Draisaitl, who was at the top of the leaderboard. That was only a sign of things to come — in a big way. When the 2027-28 NHL season begins, Kaprizov will be the fourth-highest paid player in the NHL. Indeed, four contracts with a higher AAV than Draisaitl’s $14M were signed this summer — including Connor Bedard’s $15M deal with the Blackhawks — and we’re still waiting for Anaheim to sign Cutter Gauthier and Columbus to get something done with Adam Fantilli. What’s become increasingly interesting is not only how quickly the AAV on the top deals is

Los Angeles Kings 2026-27 Season Preview: Insurance, Not Assurance -
SAN DIEGO, CA — The Tampa Bay Lightning were stunned in 2019, being swept by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2019. A little stroll down history lane, stay with me here. They were the President’s Trophy winner and were building something special there, but were utterly stunned at the hands of what, on paper, was lesser. Many general managers might have seen that devastating series as a sign to tear it down, or at least retool. Julien BriseBois could’ve, but he didn’t. Instead, the Lightning stuck wi

2027 NHL Mock Draft – First Round -
DBTB – Here we go, my fellow Sabre fans…as the school year gets underway, another Draft year has come! Now, I know we’re all focused on things like the Buffalo Sabres replicating last year’s performance, or even exceeding it, and things like Connor Hellebuyck or Kirill Marchenko joining the club. No one is thinking much about the Draft at this point in time. That’s cool. Still, as we discovered this off-season, one never knows how things will transpire on Draft Day. I certainly never envisioned the Sabres selecting at #4 and at #20 in the first round, but…that’s exactly what happened. So I will continue to follow these young prospects, really more for my own entertainment, but also for you, DBTB, in the event you have a hankering for some junior hockey or are, like Casey Kasem before you, keeping your feet on the ground while reaching for (future) stars! And while I’m most certainly an amateur when it comes to player assessment and prospec
