We ask because Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel looks like he'll obliterate his career high in goals (36) while skating with Ivan Barbashev and the newly acquired Mitch Marner this season -- a line with incredible chemistry already at the start of the season. But ultimately, a superstar can't be a breakout player. That's reserved for players who are known but not yet household names. Or players we've been waiting to see blossom since their draft year.

The landscape has changed significantly since the prior store closed,

In a move to secure the Toronto Maple Leafs' long-term stability in net, general manager Brad Treliving signed goaltender Anthony Stolarz to a four-year contract before the start of the regular season, the netminder's self-imposed deadline to get something done. The second-year Leaf had a breakout season during his first year in Toronto, setting personal-bests in games played, wins, and shutouts. He also led the NHL in save percentage.

Wrapping up our 2024-2025 report cards is Chris Drury and the Rangers front office. To put it mildly, many of the Rangers issues last year started with Drury's summer roster management, which he tried to rectify with a flurry of midseason trades. As such, his report card grade is a tale of two Drury's.

Live From the Blue Seats is recording tonight as Dave and Producer JL will be in the booth tonight discussing training camp lines, expectations, and what the coaching staff may be thinking.

Giacomin played 14 seasons in the NHL and spent 10-plus with the Rangers, winning 267 of his 290 games in New York and the 1971 Vezina Trophy awarded annually to the league's top goaltender alongside teammate Gilles Villemure. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987 and had his No. 1 retired by the Rangers two years later on March 15, 1989.

Reinhart was nothing but a goal-scoring force for the Panthers across all three of their consecutive Stanley Cup finals performances, scoring 8 in 2023, 10 in 2024, and 11 in 2025, making him one of the more important pieces of the team, not to mention the game-winning goal against the Oilers in Game 6 to clinch their second straight Stanley Cup victory.

He walked through neighborhoods including Brighton Beach, Williamsburg, Jackson Heights, and Jamaica to champion his policies aimed at supporting local businesses and community strength. On Facebook, the independent incumbent mayor zeroed in on his visit to Brighton Beach. We're going block by block today, visiting small businesses in Brighton Beach, Hizzoner said. Small businesses are the heartbeat of New York City. They create jobs, build community, and keep our neighborhoods alive. When we support them, we're not just helping one store or one family; we're lifting up the entire city.

Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) hammered President Donald Trump's involvement in the upcoming New York City mayoral race on Friday, telling Politico's Jeff Coltin, We are not f*cking selling out this city.

Palat has been slotted in that position more frequently than any other skater, but it's time to consider other possibilities. He wound up with just 28 points in 72 games played, despite having the chance to skate with the team's two most elite offensive producers. Looking at the advanced numbers, when Palat is on the ice, the Devils were outshot by 86 SOG, outscored 42-38, and controlled the puck less than 50% of the time with a Corsi-for percentage of 48.9%.

The New York Islanders' 2014 first-round pick, Michael Dal Colle, has officially moved on from the NHL. The 29-year-old winger signed a two-year contract with Dinamo Minsk of the KHL, marking the latest chapter in a career that never quite lived up to its draft-day expectations.
