The regular season has come to an end with half the league heading home and the other half in the playoffs. We’ve already seen some fallout from teams missing the postseason with more to follow while there have been some big performances in the early going of the playoffs as well.
With that in mind, it’s time to open up the mailbag once again. Our last call for questions yielded enough for three columns. The first included the future of Tom Fitzgerald in New Jersey, Edmonton’s trade deadline activity, and some discussion on insured contracts. In the second, among the topics were Darren Raddysh’s next contract, some young Rangers finishing strong, and Steve Yzerman’s future in Detroit. Lastly, the third took a tour around the Pacific Division, while captaincy candidates for St. Louis and what Washington can do to fix their roster were also discussed.
You can submit a question by using #PHRMailbag on Twitter/X or by leaving a comment down below. The mailbag will run on the weekend.
What do you think an ideal offseason looks like for the Rangers and what are your expectations for them next season?
Who gets the Preds GM job and does Bruno stay or go?
What do think Dylan Holloway’s next contract looks like?
I think it’s another 2 year deal with a bump up in pay from his recent deal.
What is your opinion of the draft lottery which is approaching on 5/5 ? Is having teams like the Islanders and Mammoth move up so many slots as they did in 2025 really help promote league parity?
