Dallas Stars To Scratch Alexander Radulov

December 5, 2019 at 11:25 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 1 Comment

The run of expensive healthy scratches continues in the NHL this season, with the Dallas Stars now getting in on the action. Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports that the Stars are set to scratch Alexander Radulov for tonight’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, adding that head coach Jim Montgomery said it’s what’s best for the team. Radulov declined to comment.

The 33-year old Russian forward has been a disappointment this season after back-to-back 72-point campaigns. Not only is his offensive production down—15 points in 29 games works out to a 42-point full season pace—but he is among the league leaders in minor penalties with 15 already.

Some may see a scratching like this and immediately think about potential trade destinations, but not so fast with Radulov. Not only does he have a full no-movement clause at the moment which he could use to block any deal, but his contract still has two more seasons after this one at a $6.25MM cap hit. Though the actual salary declines in those years, it would be hard for any team to justify acquiring him for the full cap hit with the way he’s played this season.

In the summer of 2017, Radulov turned a strong return to North America with the Montreal Canadiens into a five-year deal with the Stars in free agency. Though the Canadiens were reported to have offered a similar deal, he turned down the team to go play in Texas. Perhaps the Canadiens should be counting their blessings at this point, given their strong cap situation and young core.

While this is probably not the end of Radulov in Dallas, it is a clear message from Montgomery that he will ice the team he believes has the best chance to win on a given night, salary be damned. The Stars turned around a dreadful start with a 14-1-1 run recently, but have now dropped their last four straight and are in need of another shake up.

Five Key Stories: 11/25/19 – 12/01/19

December 1, 2019 at 7:48 pm CDT | by Zach Leach Leave a Comment

With the quarter pole of the season in the rear view mirror, teams have had plenty of time to evaluate their rosters and early performances and changes are starting to be made. That has been the overarching story of the week, as some clubs made moves – both long- and short-term – while others are preparing to do so.

Flames Fire Bill Peters: Well, not technically. Calgary accepted the resignation of their head coach, who was mired in scandal following an investigation into allegations of racist comments made while serving as an AHL head coach in the Chicago Blackhawks organization and further accusations of physical abuse while head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes. The league will continue its investigation, but Peters days as an NHL coach are likely over regardless. While the veteran coach offered an apology for the incident in Rockford, the victim of the attack, Akim Aliu, called it “misleading, insincere and concerning”, which was likely the nail in his coffin. Geoff Ward takes over as interim head coach for the Flames, an under-performing team that had enough concerns of their own without dealing with off-ice controversy.

Bruins Extend Coyle And Wagner: The league-leading Boston Bruins signed a pair of local products to contract extensions, inking 2019 trade acquisition Charlie Coyle to a six-year, $31.5MM deal and 2018 free agent addition Chris Wagner to a three-year, $4.05MM deal. The 27-year-old Coyle, who won over the home crowd with a dominant playoff run last year, is now in place to likely succeed David Krejci and/or Patrice Bergeron as a top-six center for the Bruins, unless the versatile forward shifts to the right wing long-term instead. Meanwhile, the Bruins have always shown a willingness to invest in their fourth line and clearly feel Wagner can continue to be an effective checker and penalty killer for years to come. The team can now solely turn their attention to re-signing Torey Krug with these deals complete.

New Jersey Willing To Move Hall: The 2019-20 season has not gone as planned for the New Jersey Devils, who added considerable talent this off-season but have yet to see the on-ice impact. As a result, 2018 Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall, the top impending free agent in this summer’s class, has become the most talked-about name on the trade market. The team is officially listening to offers, with most pundits expecting that he will be traded and perhaps sooner rather than later. Hall has had the misfortune of never playing for a true contender thus far in his career, but could wind up participating in a playoff run this year as a highly sought-after rental target. His former team, the Edmonton Oilers, are considered a possible landing spot, as are the Colorado Avalanche, Montreal Canadiens, and defending champion St. Louis Blues. More teams are sure to be in the running as the Hall sweepstakes heat up.

Dumoulin Out Eight Weeks: The Pittsburgh Penguins suffered yet another injury blow on Saturday as defenseman Brian Dumoulin sustained an ankle injury that required surgery and will leave him sidelined for eight weeks. The Penguins lead the NHL in man-games lost this year and the loss of Dumoulin is a major blow. The underrated defenseman is one of the premier shutdown defenders in the league and allows for pair mate Kris Letang to truly play his game. With Justin Schultz already out, not to mention Sidney Crosby and Nick Bjugstad, and Erik Gudbranson recently traded, Pittsburgh will be shorthanded on the blue line for a while.

Also in the Metropolitan Division, the Columbus Blue Jackets lost dynamic defenseman Zach Werenski to an upper-body injury that will keep him out of action for at least four weeks.

Puljujarvi, Honka Not Playing This Season: The December 1 5:00PM ET deadline came and went and restricted free agents Jesse Puljujarvi of the Edmonton Oilers and Julius Honka of the Dallas Stars had not been signed. As a result, neither young Finn can play in the NHL this year. Both the Oilers and Stars have been trying to find a trade partner for their disgruntled young players, but to no avail. Neither team was willing to give their RFA away, even if that meant potentially not being able to trade them until the off-season. Both Puljujarvi and Honka have yet to live up to expectations in the NHL, but are playing well in Finland this season. This is likely not the last we’ve seen of either player in North America.

RFA Signing Deadline Passes

December 1, 2019 at 4:05 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 2 Comments

The signing deadline for all restricted free agents has come and gone, meaning they will not be eligible to play in the NHL this season. The group is headlined by Jesse Puljujarvi and Julius Honka, who are both currently playing in Finland and will have to wait for another chance in North America.

The Dallas Stars were rumored to be looking at potential offers today for their young free agent, who was described as “an asset” earlier this weekend. Despite being a relatively high first-round pick, Honka never really found a fit with Dallas and played just 87 NHL games over his entry-level contract.

An elite offensive weapon at the minor league level, Honka would be an intriguing option for any team looking to add some skill to the back end. Apparently any interest shown wasn’t enough to convince Dallas GM Jim Nill however, who will now have plenty of time to work out a deal before the 2020-21 season. Though Honka is playing in Finland currently, his agent Todd Diamond told Sean Shapiro of The Athletic that there is a chance he could move to another league at some point.

Puljujarvi meanwhile has been very clear with his desire to be sent out of the Edmonton Oilers organization. After three disappointing and frustrating seasons since he was the fourth overall pick in 2016, Puljujarvi decided not to sign as an RFA and is instead spending the year dominating Liiga back in Finland. The big winger has 24 points in 25 games for Karpat and is improving his value daily for Oilers GM Ken Holland.

It doesn’t appear as though either player will ever suit up again for their current organizations, and this deadline guarantees they at least won’t this season. It doesn’t however completely end trade speculation, as their rights could still be swapped at any point. The young free agents are no longer eligible to play in the 2019-20 season, but that doesn’t mean we’ve heard the last of either one.

Latest On Julius Honka

December 1, 2019 at 11:45 am CDT | by Brian La Rose 3 Comments

Sunday: With a 4 p.m. deadline to sign a contract for Puljujarvi and Honka, TSN’s Bob McKenzie reports that while it looks unlikely that a Puljujarvi trade could happen, a Honka trade is quite possible. McKenzie reports that talk between other clubs and Dallas are ongoing and a trade/signing is possible.

Saturday: There are a pair of restricted free agents whose fates will be determined one way or the other this weekend.  The deadline for signing an NHL contract as an RFA is December 1st and while Edmonton winger Jesse Puljujarvi has drawn most of the attention, Dallas defenseman Julius Honka is in the same situation.  Speaking with Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News, GM Jim Nill indicated that there hasn’t been much movement on the trade front in terms of improved offers from around the league:

We’re still talking to teams, but I’m going to do what’s right for the team, for the Dallas Stars. He’s an asset, and right now, I’m not comfortable with what’s been offered to me. The good thing is, for Julius’ sake, is he’s over there playing. He’s playing a lot. He’s on a good team, he’s in a good situation. He’s going to have a chance to make their national teams.

Honka has spent the season with JYP Jyväskylä of the Finnish SM-liiga, his hometown team, but the deal does contain an NHL out clause.  He has certainly taken advantage of the opportunity and has logged 19:44 per night in 14 games so far, well above the 13:43 he averaged with the Stars last season.  However, his offensive numbers (three goals and three assists) have been a little underwhelming considering his team is the top-scoring group in the league.  Nonetheless, Honka told DeFranks that he’s pleased with how things have gone this season and that he’s still seeking an NHL change of scenery:

I felt maybe like it’s good for my health and everything to move on and try to find something where I can enjoy it more, and be in a good situation for me. I’ve been really happy to play here. I feel like it’s going in a better direction here than my last month in North America. It’s going the right direction and positive, and my mindset is better. I’m really happy for it.

If Honka isn’t signed by 4:00 PM CST on Sunday, he’ll be ineligible to suit up in the NHL this season but Dallas will retain his rights heading into next summer.  In that case, he’ll remain with JYP (where his brother Anttoni, a Carolina prospect, also plays) and look to earn a spot on Finland’s entry to the World Championships in May in the hopes of boosting his trade value that way.

Central Notes: Rantanen, Foligno, Kyrou, Johns

November 30, 2019 at 4:30 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 1 Comment

The Colorado Avalanche have finally gotten the news they were hoping for as the team announced that star forward Mikko Rantanen will be returning to the lineup tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks. He has been out for the past 16 games with a lower-body injury, but has been a full participant at practice since Tuesday.

Rantanen has been a key first-line wing option for Nathan MacKinnon, who has been without his two linemates for quite some time. Gabriel Landeskog has also been out with an injury of his own. However, with Rantanen back in the lineup, the first line should regain some of its previous success with Joonas Donskoi filling in for Landeskog. The 23-year-old has only appeared in nine games for Colorado this year, but was impressive in that span, scoring five goals and 12 points before going down against the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 21.

  • StarTribune’s Sarah McLellan reports that Minnesota Wild winger Marcus Foligno is close to returning the lineup and could break up some of the team’s recent success as he is likely to break up some the team’s current fourth line of Victor Rask, Ryan Donato and Ryan Hartman. Foligno, who has been out since Nov. 7 with a lower-body injury, could return to the lineup Sunday, but head coach Bruce Boudreau hasn’t decided on whether he will use Foligno yet. With Foligno’s return, the Wild will also have to take one of their current fourth-liners out of the lineup.
  • With a number of key injuries on their forward lines, the St. Louis Blues have recalled a number of players from the San Antonio Rampage, their AHL squad. However, The Athletic’s Jeremy Rutherford (subscription required) writes that the team still hasn’t recalled youngster Jordan Kyrou, who returned from offseason knee surgery in early November. While his numbers have been impressive (five goals and 11 points in 11 games with San Antonio), the team wants to make sure he’s ready to take over a top-nine role with the team, which will likley come in the next few weeks.
  • The Athletic’s Sean Shapiro reports that Dallas Stars defenseman Stephen Johns, who hasn’t played since the 2017-18 season due to post-traumatic headaches, has been cleared to practice with the team again and did so on Saturday. He is taking the necessary steps to return to NHL action, although he still has a ways to go, according to head coach Jim Montgomery.

Joel Hanley Clears Waivers

November 30, 2019 at 11:03 am CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

Saturday: Hanley has cleared waivers and has been sent to AHL Texas, reports Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News.

Friday: The Dallas Stars have placed defenseman Joel Hanley on waivers with the intention of moving him to the minor leagues should he clear. Hanley cleared before the season began, but needed to go through the process again after spending more than 30 days on the NHL roster.

Hanley, 28, has played in eight games with the Stars this year, recording two points while logging just over 11 minutes a night. The undrafted journeyman has just 46 NHL games under his belt, with most of his professional experience coming at the AHL level.

On a two-year, two-way contract, it seems unlikely that Hanley will be claimed at this point in his career.

Poll: Which Teams Will Buck The Thanksgiving Playoff Trend In 2019-20?

November 27, 2019 at 5:54 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 4 Comments

Just how important is playoff position in just the second month of the regular season? Very, if you look at recent results. Over the past six years, more than 70% of teams in a playoff position at American Thanksgiving have held on to their spot. While last year was slightly below the mark – 11 of 16 teams (69%) in a playoff position on November 22 qualified – the standings at the time were even more predictive than usual. The Lightning, Predators, Flames, Maple Leafs, Jets, and Sharks all finished in the same divisional seed that they occupied at Thanksgiving.

So who were the outliers in 2018-19? Obviously, the St. Louis Blues’ return from the basement of the league standings to win the Stanley Cup is a story that will stand the test of time. However, four other clubs also turned their seasons around: the Islanders, Penguins, Hurricanes, and Golden Knights. And the teams whose seasons took a turn for the worse: the Sabres, Wild, Rangers, Canadiens, and Ducks. Ironically, the Canadiens were narrowly inside the playoff window on Thanksgiving and ended up just barely outside in the spring. Meanwhile, the Ducks, Oilers, and Coyotes were all tied for the lowest playoff-qualifying record on Thanksgiving, with the Ducks getting the tiebreaker at the time, and all three failed to qualify for the postseason.

This season has gotten off to an unpredictable start, which could potentially threaten to derail the Thanksgiving trend. Several teams considered Cup contenders are currently outside the playoff picture, while multiple surprises currently occupy a spot. With Thanksgiving arriving tomorrow, this is the current status of the NHL standings (reminder – points percentage is the ideal way of viewing NHL standings):

Eastern Conference

M1 New York Islanders (.773)
A1 Boston Bruins (.771)

M2 Washington Capitals (.740)
M3 Carolina Hurricanes (.646)

A2 Tampa Bay Lightning (.619)
A3 Florida Panthers (.604)

W1 Pittsburgh Penguins (.625)
W2 Philadelphia Flyers (.604)

Outside the Playoff Picture: Montreal Canadiens (.563), New York Rangers (.545), Columbus Blue Jackets (.522), Buffalo Sabres (.521), Toronto Maple Leafs (.520), Ottawa Senators (.479), New Jersey Devils (.435), Detroit Red Wings (.327)

Western Conference

C1 St. Louis Blues (.680)
P1 Edmonton Oilers (.673)

C2 Dallas Stars (.615)
C3 Colorado Avalanche (.609)

P2 Arizona Coyotes (.620)
P3 Vancouver Canucks (.560)

W1 Winnipeg Jets (.604)
W2 Nashville Predators (.543)

Outside the Playoff Picture: San Jose Sharks (.540), Chicago Blackhawks (.521), Anaheim Ducks (.500), Vegas Golden Knights (.500), Calgary Flames (.481), Minnesota Wild (.480), Los Angeles Kings (.417)

2018-19 playoff teams jump off the page as potential candidates to disrupt the status quo. Particularly in the Pacific Division, it is hard to image none of the Golden Knights – who beat the Thanksgiving odds last year – the Sharks or the Flames will make the playoffs, especially as they look up at the Oilers, Coyotes, and Canucks.  There could also be hope in West for the Ducks and Blackhawks, who sit at .500 currently. Over in the East, the Maple Leafs stick out like a sore thumb among non-playoff teams and could be line for improvement following their coaching change. But will it be enough given their difficult start? The Canadiens will also hope for a reverse of fortunes from last year, going from first team out in the conference at Thanksgiving to in the postseason come April. The Sabres have started hot and collapsed two years in a row, but there is still time for them to turn things back around. All three Atlantic clubs see a Panthers team with plenty of problems ahead of them in the standings right now. Meanwhile, the Rangers and Blue Jackets will look to make an unlikely run to the postseason as they chase down the Flyers.

What do you think? Which of these teams will find their way into the playoff picture and which will fall victim to the Thanksgiving postseason trend? Select as many teams below as you like, but remember that for every addition, there has to be a subtraction of a current playoff team.

John Klingberg And Roope Hintz Nearing A Return

November 23, 2019 at 12:02 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment

  • The Stars are hoping to have a pair of key players back this weekend. Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News notes that defenseman John Klingberg and winger Roope Hintz are nearing returns from their respective lower-body injuries.  Dallas won’t have to make any roster moves to accommodate their returns as they’re carrying two players under the maximum 23 at the moment.

Minor Transactions: 11/20/19

November 20, 2019 at 1:39 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

There was tons of action around the NHL last night, but the moment that will be most talked about today is Marc-Andre Fleury’s incredible diving save to preserve a Vegas Golden Knights win against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Though Toronto gets a lot of the attention as they plummet in the standings, Vegas also needed a win after going 1-4-1 over their previous six games.

There are just two games on tap for tonight, meaning teams will likely make several roster transactions. We’ll keep track of them right here.

  • The Columbus Blue Jackets have sent Markus Hannikainen back to the minor leagues, now that Nick Foligno’s three-game suspension has been served. Hannikainen has been up for two weeks but didn’t play in a game, and hasn’t gotten a single opportunity yet this season.
  • Christoffer Ehn is back with the Detroit Red Wings, thanks to a lower-body injury to Darren Helm. Ehn has played in 14 games with the Red Wings this season, but is still looking for his first point. Helm is listed as day-to-day. Also out for Detroit is Givani Smith, placed on injured reserve retroactive to last Thursday. Smith may not be sidelined for very long, but in the meantime his roster spot will go to defenseman Joe Hicketts. 
  • Nicholas Caamano has been returned to the minor leagues as well, not for the first time this season. The young forward has been bouncing up and down between Dallas and Texas, playing 12 games for the NHL club and five in the AHL.
  • With Devan Dubnyk dealing with a personal issue, the Minnesota Wild have recalled Kaapo Kahkonen from the minor leagues under emergency conditions. The young goaltender has a 7-2-2 record this season in the AHL with the Iowa Wild but has yet to make his NHL debut.
  • After signing Kerby Rychel earlier this week, the Charlotte Checkers had a surplus of forwards. They’ve solved that issue by dealing Anthony Louis to the Texas Stars for future considerations. Louis, a former Chicago Blackhawks prospect out of Miami University, has been a solid AHL producer over the past two years, but was off to a slow start in his first season with Charlotte.

Minor Transactions: 11/17/19

November 17, 2019 at 2:52 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

Most of the NHL is at rest today after the huge number of Saturday games, meaning just four teams are in action. The Buffalo Sabres travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks, while the Calgary Flames and Vegas Golden Knights get reacquainted in Sin City. As teams prepare for the next week of action, we’ll keep track of all the minor moves right here.

  • Noah Gregor has been returned to the AHL after playing in ten games for the San Jose Sharks. The 21-year old center failed to register his first NHL point but at least got his feet wet and saw what would be required of him at the next level.
  • Former NHL goaltender Justin Pogge has found a new home for this season, signing a one-year deal with Sodertalje SK in Sweden’s second league. The 33-year old netminder has spent the last several seasons overseas after a North American career that saw him quickly turn from top prospect to AHL afterthought. In seven career NHL games, Pogge posted an .844 save percentage and 4.36 goals against average.
  • Miikka Salomaki has been assigned to the minor leagues by the Nashville Predators after five games with the team. The 26-year old was recalled on October 19th, meaning he’s close to needing waivers again. Sending him to the AHL now leaves the Predators with some extra roster flexibility.
  • The Boston Bruins have returned three players to their AHL affiliate, according to the AHL transactions page. The website reports that the Bruins have sent forwards Paul Carey and Trent Frederic and defenseman Urho Vaakanainen to Providence. Carey played Saturday in their shootout loss to Washington, receiving 6:22 of playing time. Frederic played back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, but was held scoreless, while Vaakanainen played in three games, playing 19:19 on Saturday.
  • The Athletic’s Darren Haynes reports that the Calgary Flames have recalled forward Dillon Dube from the Stockton Heat of the AHL. Dube, who has dominated in the AHL, but struggled last year in his first taste of NHL action, was brought in to spark the team, which has been struggling with offense recently. Dube has four goals and 13 points in 13 games with the Heat. Sportsnet’s Eric Francis adds that forward Alan Quine was sent to Stockton in a corresponding move.
  • The Vegas Golden Knights announced they have assigned forwards Brandon Pirri and Nicolas Roy to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. Pirri cleared waivers and has already been reported to have been sent to Chicago, while Roy has been up and down multiple times this year as a fourth-line option for Vegas. The 22-year-old has fared well in six games, posting a goal and three points.
  • The Dallas Stars announced they have re-assigned center Rhett Gardner to the Texas Stars of the AHL. The 23-year-old had appeared in eight games for Dallas but failed to register a point. He had eight shots on goal over that span. With no game until Tuesday, it could just be a paper transaction to save some cap space.
  • The Detroit Red Wings announced they have assigned defenseman Joe Hicketts to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Hicketts has appeared in five games for the Red Wings, which included picking up his first point of the season Saturday in their shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks.
  • The New Jersey Devils announced they have assigned defenseman Colton White to the Binghamton Devils of the AHL. White was recalled Friday by the team but served as an emergency defenseman for Saturday’s game against Montreal.
  • The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled forward Eetu Luostarinen from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL, according to a Checkers’ release. The 21-year-old Luostarinen was recalled 10 days ago, and appeared in three games for the Hurricanes, registering one assist, before being returned to Charlotte. The 2017 second-round pick has looked good in the AHL with five goals and eight points in 12 games.
  • After being sent back to the minors following Saturday’s game, the Canadiens announced that they’ve recalled winger Charles Hudon from AHL Laval.  He played less than eight minutes yesterday in his season debut but with Paul Byron and Jonathan Drouin both injured, Montreal was down to just 11 healthy forwards.
  • The Rangers have decided to give Lias Andersson some more playing time as they’ve assigned him to Hartford of the AHL per a team release.  The seventh pick in 2017 has just one assist in 17 games this season while playing less than ten minutes per night.  Winger Tim Gettinger has been recalled to take his place on the roster.

AHL| Alan Quine| Boston Bruins| Brandon Pirri| Buffalo Sabres| Calgary Flames| Carolina Hurricanes| Charles Hudon| Chicago Blackhawks| Colton White| Dallas Stars| Detroit Red Wings| Jonathan Drouin| Lias Andersson| Miikka Salomaki| Montreal Canadiens| Nashville Predators| New Jersey Devils| New York Rangers| Paul Carey| San Jose Sharks| Transactions| Vegas Golden Knights
