Latest Updates Around The World
When Mitch Marner was moved by the Toronto Maple Leafs this offseason, the idea that Toronto could replace one player by committee (and save money) sounded ambitious. Rather than pursue another star winger and create a new ‘Core Four’, Toronto opted to bring in three players, spreading the offense across the team and giving the […]
The Edmonton Oilers’ situation with Andrew Mangiapane feels eerily familiar. On paper, the signing made sense. While he struggled in Washington, Mangiapane was a proven winger with a 35-goal last season on his NHL resume. That meant he had a scoring pedigree that, if placed with the right linemates, could unlock his previous offensive firepower. […]
Some games feel like a clean notebook. This wasn’t one of them. This one had scribbles in the margins, coffee stains on the page, and a few lines crossed out in frustration. But when it was over, the Toronto Maple Leafs had two points in their pocket and a building that felt alive again. Trailing […]
When the news broke that Philip Broberg had been selected for Team Sweden before Mattias Ekholm, the immediate reaction around Oilers social media was predictable. Another former or developing defender gaining international recognition while a core contributor stays home? On the surface, it felt like another reminder of what could have been. But dig a […]
The New York Rangers may look to the trade market for offensive help as they navigate a disappointing 2025-2026 season. New York is averaging just 2.55 goals per game, the lowest in the Eastern Conference, and is currently out of the playoffs. Complicating matters further is that Artemi Panarin is approaching unrestricted free agency, while […]
The Edmonton Oil Companies have decided to call up two well-deserved young players from the AHL who have arguably played better than some of the mainstays. Ike Howard and Quinn Hutson are both recalled from Bakersfield and will join the team as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Of course, the calls […]
As Frank Seravalli tweeted Friday morning: “Salt in the wound for #Oilers fans: Philip Broberg makes Olympic selection of Team Sweden about Mattias Ekholm.” It’s a somewhat surprising decision, given Ekholm’s history of playing internationally for Sweden. This may be a harsh statement, as the rest will go well for Ekholm, but it will still […]
Patrick WilliamsTheAHL.com Features Writer What a year. The arrival of 2026 brings the second half of the AHL’s 90th anniversary season, an outdoor game in Minnesota, the Rockford IceHogs hosting the AHL All-Star Classic, and then a two-month gauntlet: the Calder Cup Playoffs. As 2025 comes to a close, here’s a look back at one […]
Patrick Williams will again provide the presentation FloHockey AHL Power Rankings during the regular season. On pace for a 136-point season that would shatter league records, the Grand Rapids Griffins continue to dismantle opponents. Still trying to keep the Griffins in some sort of relative view are the Colorado Eagles, Laval Rocket, Providence Bruins and […]
Change at the NHL level could also bring an AHL shakeup. That turnaround for the Buffalo Sabers came on December 15 when they fired general manager Kevyn Adams and replaced him with senior advisor Jarmo Kekäläinen. The Sabers are on a roll this month with a nine-game winning streak that started six days before Kekäläinen’s […]
