In-season, I am planning to have a daily NHL schedule post that shows game times, where to watch, and links to individual game chat threads. Those threads will be available on team pages as well (kkhockey.com/[3 letters of your team's abbrev.])
I am also working on the ability for users to add the more granular team feeds to their individual main feeds.
Please comment on this post your thoughts on that concept and any other ideas you want to share.
The day's hockey news in one place — and somewhere to talk about it.
As an Avs fan, this is exciting. To have Joe back reinvigorated should be a treat and softens the loss of McFarland to Nashville.
Joe Sakic is the Colorado Avalanche’s general manager, and there is no plan for that to change anytime soon.
Sakic is committed to the role in a full-time capacity and there has been no search for a replacement, team sources confirmed. There is no set timeline for how long Sakic will be the club’s GM, but he has been “reinvigorated” after the stunning loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, a source said.

MONTREAL — A $2.15-million, one-year contract for a six-foot-three, 232-pound, 35-year-old winger who has over 1000 games of NHL experience and is still producing at a reasonable rate is hardly a gamble.
You could even say the Montreal Canadiens stole Chris Kreider after the remainder of the player’s six-year, $45.5-million contract with the Anaheim Ducks was ripped up on Thursday.

Got some feedback on consolidation and keeping a conversation going. I am going to try this, a daily post that is a round up of all the day’s news where we can have an ongoing discussion each day (on slow off-season days, we could stick to a thread for more than a day).

KK Hockey is a few months old now, and nearly everyone reading it found their way here from Kukla's Korner. That makes you the only people who can tell me whether this is becoming something worth keeping.
Two questions below. Neither needs a sign-in, neither is public, and both come straight to me.

To navigate their way through the rigors of the regular-season, NHL teams need as much roster depth as they can build in the salary cap era. Here are the four teams with the best depth in the league after their summertime moves.
The question for the Minnesota Wild coming into the 2025-26 season was whether they signed Kirill Kaprizov for a then record-shattering deal to contend or to save face. Kaprizov is a rare franchise winger with gaudy 82-game averages of 48 goals and 98 points, and losing him to unrestricted free agency would’ve been unacceptable. Still, could the Wild really expect to win with $17 million in cap space dedicated to one player?

But the one thing they made a little easier, though, is deciphering who’s headed to the NHL or not. Of the top 11 players taken in 2026, seven are off to college. They can’t have NHL entry-level contracts and still be in college, so you can easily cross them off the lists. Major junior players can sign ELCs without making the jump to pro, which made things a bit cloudier heading into the season.
Ivan Demidov’s agent explains why the Canadiens winger signed a team-friendly deal, Red Wings center Dylan Larkin may have overplayed his hand with his trade request, and more in today’s NHL Morning Coffee Headlines.
Most observers expected Anaheim to match the offer. Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek is publicly pleased to retain Carlsson, but his lack of foresight in this situation has significant salary-cap consequences for his club.
Keeping Carlsson screws up the Ducks’ salary cap for this season, leaving little space to re-sign high-scoring winger Cutter Gauthier and to bolster their young blueline. It will also affect their cap plans throughout Carlsson’s contract, potentially hampering their development as a future Stanley Cup contender.
