Here’s a rundown of the original content here at PHR over the past seven days.
The William Nylander saga is likely coming to an end sometime between now and Saturday as if he’s unsigned by then, he’ll sit for the remainder of the season. How will this eventually end? Will he be dealt, re-sign, or go past the deadline without a contract? Voting is very close so far but there’s still time to make your prediction.
With American Thanksgiving coming and going, our Thankful For series has returned. I took a look at the Ducks and Bruins, Gavin assessed the Coyotes, and Holger reviewed the Sabres who have been one of the bigger surprises through the opening quarter of the season.
Bruins winger David Pastrnak set a career high in goals last season with 35. Boston fans were hoping that the logical next step would be for him to push to reach the 40-goal mark but to say he has gone a step further than that would be an understatement. He’s already at 17 through just 23 games and if that pace is maintained, he’d wind up with 61 tallies. Only one player has reached that plateau in the past decade; can he be the second? Make your pick here.
Gavin held his weekly Thursday live chat. Topics this week included his prediction on what happens with Nylander, potential trade targets in Anaheim, Edmonton’s decision to hire Ken Hitchcock, Western Conference predictions, Boston’s secondary scoring concerns, and more.
We’re nearing the end of our 2006 redraft series as we’re up to the 29th pick, held by the then-Phoenix Coyotes. While the top players have already been scooped up, there are still several capable forwards on the board to choose from.
