Jason Robertson rumours

So, Jason Robertson has been trade talk around the NHL. I still believe he is a star in this league, but wants more money. I personally believe Dallas should keep him, but it looks as he's the number one player in all the trade rumours.

Now, the Stars wanted a defenseman in return in their top-four. But the one team I see being the best fit for a trade is the Los Angeles Kings because they have Brandt Clarke, who can be held under the salary cap. The reason some fans may disagree is because they need to sign Adrian Kempe to a big extension in order to keep him, and potentially Alex Laferriere too. Roberton's contract is seven million a year, and say Laferriere does sign a contract I think it's going to be a one-year deal worth $3.5M. So, the Kings may need to make another trade or have that player go to Dallas as part of the Roberton trade. 

The Kings could likely trade a 1st 2026, Brandt Clarke, and Alex Turcotte for Jason Robertson. But Dallas gets a first-rounder, they get a young top-four defenseman and a potential full-time NHLer in Alex Turcotte who is currently under contract for less than 900,000. I also think doing this secures a playoff spot in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs with all the veterans they got on that team. I also think Jason Robertson finds his game with the LA Kings and I think this is the team for him.

Dakota Joshua traded to Toronto

Where do I begin... maybe that I wrote how he was one of the underrated players in the NHL. Except the thing is it's no longer Vancouver. Now, for all I know maybe Dakota Joshua wanted out, but this return is beyond brutal and unacceptable by the Canucks. With Toronto, I think we'll see Dakota Joshua's true potential as he truly is an underrated player who can do a lot more than your average hockey fan thinks. Vancouver getting a forth for Joshua, this is just like the Silovs trade but maybe worse given they were key players for the Canucks. If I'm trading Dakota Joshua away I'm expecting something as high as a second-round pick and a player with a good contract.  As for Toronto, this is an excellent pick-up for the Leafs and this is going to improve their penalty kill a lot which in my opinion is something that could use work this off-season. Toronto is the clear winner of the trade.

The curious case of Elias Pettersson

I think Elias Pettersson is still a good player who can return to his full form one day and still has potential to be an offensive threat in the NHL. Based on what I've seen he does work hard, but there's parts he needs to learn to improve his game. He was well on track once upon a time, but I think locker room issues soured things for him last season. It may take one or two seasons, but I think he has a similar comeback Marcus Naslund did.  Pettersson had an outstanding season before they brought JT Miller in. In Miller's defense, he was not one for a young core but needed to be on a team he could do a lot more on. But if the Canucks never traded for Miller I think Pettersson would've been the producer every single season. In 2019-20 he finished second in scoring after JT Miller; in the playoffs that year in the bubble, he and JT Miller both tied the lead in team scoring with eighteen points. In 2020-21 he missed most of the season but had twenty-one points in twenty-s...

PWHL Draft First-Round Recap and Predicting the 2026 PWHL Season

 The third ever PWHL Draft had happened recently held at the Hard Rock Casino and Resort in Ottawa, Ontario, which was special considering they introduced two new teams: PWHL Vancouver and PWHL Seattle, both of which held the final picks of the draft.  1. New York Sirens -  Kristýna Kaltounková - F - Colgate University - A consistent point producer from the Czech Repbulic, the Sirens took what is believed to be the best player in this draft. Can be looked to either make plays and has a promising shot bringing what is believed to be a long PWHL career. What  Kaltounková also has in her game is height which is a huge advantage in this sport. I think this pick instantly improves the Sirens and gives Sarah Fillier a line-mate for a long time. 2. Boston Fleet - Haley Winn - D - Clarkson University - The Boston Fleet take an offensive defenseman from Clarkson and defender of the year. But another key highlight of her career is winning various gold medals in junior tourname...
