NY Rangers skills development has been a topic for quite some time, but has come into focus lately.As the Rangers continue to try to get more out of Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere, their progress with skating, stick handling, and reading plays comes into question.These are all hockey skills, and it makes you wonder whether their skills coach and player development is adequate.

While there is no doubt that Shane Doan is a smart addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs front office, it still raises questions.Bringing in the Arizona Coyotes legend could easily be chalked up to a number of thoughts patterns by new Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager, Brad Treliving.It could simply be that bringing in a small-town Alberta guy is exactly what this group needs in terms of learning some lessons about work ethic and the general notion of not simply being handed things.

According to Sportsnet, the Toronto Maple Leafs have hired former Calgary Flames General Manager Brad Treliving to take on the same role with the Maple Leafs.Treliving and the Flames agreed to part ways back in April after the Flames missed the playoffs this past season after taking the regular season Pacific Division title in 2021-22 with a 111 points.

There was a great deal of talk throughout the season about the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas with the only NHL organization he's ever been a part of.After all the questions and speculation, Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan decided it was best if the general manager reins were in the hands of someone else.

Harvard defenseman and newly signed San Jose Shark Henry Thrun might play in tonight's game against the Winnipeg Jets.According to San Jose Hockey Now's Sheng Peng, Thrun was suited up at warmups this morning.Thrun signed a two-year deal over the weekend, though the first year of his deal burns off this year.

The San Jose Sharks were the first team eliminated from playoff contention in the 2022-23 season.Although there were a few bright spots, notably the return to form of Erik Karlsson, this season has largely been a failure across the board.The Sharks were more or less forced to part ways with Timo Meier due to the team's inability to succeed, young players were kept in the American Hockey League to spare them, and there were plenty more various failures.

It's a battle for the bottom.The San Jose Sharks sit at 31st in the NHL this morning.The only team with a worse record is the visiting team, the Columbus Blue Jackets.The Sharks are in the midst of a three game losing streak, only to be bested by the team below San Jose in the standings, the Blue Jackets, which have lost four in a row.

Another loss at SAP Center is in the books, this time with Sharks' owner Hasso Plattner in the crowd to see it all go down.The San Jose Sharks fell to the Minnesota Wild 5-2 and dropped to 19-36-12 overall for the season.The saddest part, the Sharks have only won 6 games in front of home fans this year.

Every dollar matters in the world of the flat salary cap that has been the reality over the past few NHL seasons.That is especially true for teams like the Los Angeles Kings, who are right up against the cap.They ended the season with just 1.345 million in cap space and have already re-signed a few players who will see significant raises.

The Washington Capitals are coming off their worst full, 82-game season in 16 years, finishing 25th overall in the league standings.That sort of abject failure - on top of a rookie head coach and a year older core - has heavily impacted the team's betting odds for next season.The Caps are tied for the eighth-worst odds to win the Stanley Cup in 2023-24.

Tom Wilson was announced as the Washington Capitals nominee for the 2023 King Clancy Trophy on Tuesday.The award is given to the player "who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."The Capitals, in a tweet, said that Wilson "actively gives back to the community through two player programs as well as by being involved in additional initiatives throughout the season."

New York Islanders' Hudson Fasching (20) smiles after a goal against the Montreal Canadiens during the first period of an NHL hockey game Wednesday, April 12, 2023, in Elmont, N.Y.(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) EAST MEADOW, N.Y.On Monday afternoon during his exit interview, Hudson Fasching admitted that he loved playing with the New York Islanders this season and was hoping his agent and the team would figure out a way to keep the pending unrestricted free agent around for a little while longer.

Congrats to Head Coach David Quinn, who was just named the head coach of Team USA for the Men's Worlds.The San Jose Sharks have 11 games left in the season and then Quinn can start preparing for the Worlds.Meanwhile, not sure how bad it is but William Eklund was hurt in last night's Barracuda game.It sounds like he's day-to-day.

Hockey in Hartford?That seems like a time warp back to the 70s, 80s and 90s, but Connecticut governor Ned Lamont said on Friday that he's planning to meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman about the possibility of the Arizona Coyotes relocating to Hartford.According to wtnh.com'sRich Coppola, the 48-year-old Hartford XL Center would be a better temporary home for the Coyotes than Mullett Arena, since the voters in Tempe, Ariz., recently rejected the proposal for a new arena.

Dubois, DeBrincat, Nylander are on the radar.SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier could soon make his mark in the trade market.While he has been active since taking the job, it's more been a matter of moving pieces out, namely Brent Burns and Timo Meier.But perhaps Grier is looking to add a foundational piece this offseason, and it appears as though there will be several options available to him.

The Arizona Coyotes got some terrible news this week as the three separate ballot initiatives to build a new arena and entertainment district for the franchise were shot down by voters.The speculation of relocation started almost immediately.First there were the usually suspects.Houston was mentioned, as well as Quebec City.

SAN JOSE - Just add it to the list of things the San Jose Sharks need to address, at least in the eyes of coach David Quinn.Midway through the second period of Saturday's game, Sharks winger Evgeny Svechnikov got into something of a jousting match with Minnesota goalie Marc-Andre Fleury in front of the Wild net.

The NHL Players Association is set for talks with the league this week about a variety of topics but a major one will be the possibility of increasing the salary cap more than the projected $1 million discussed at general manager meetings last March.According to the New York Post's Larry Brooks, one proposal the NHLPA may be willing to agree to if the cap does elevate further is an extended 84-game regular season schedule as soon as next year.

The Arizona Coyotes are an organization in disarray.First, voters in Tempe, a city just outside of Phoenix, shut down a series of referendum to build a new entertainment district that would house the Coyotes, who spent last season playing in Arizona State University's Mullett Arena.Now, the father of Clayton Keller, their star player, seems to have tweeted out that the leading scorer doesn't plan on playing for the Coyotes next season.

The Arizona Coyotes face an uncertain future this week following a failed vote on a new arena for the team.Voters in Tempe, a city just outside of Phoenix, shut down a series of referendum to build a new entertainment district that would house the Coyotes, who spent last season playing in Arizona State University's Mullett Arena.

The NHL is continuing to announce the finalists for its end-of-season awards.The three finalists for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy were revealed on Tuesday.The Masterton Trophy is awarded to the player judged to "best exemplify the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey".

The future of the NHL's Arizona Coyotes is in question, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes floated the idea of Kansas City being their new home.The Arizona Coyotes have long been trying to find a new home arena for their team.They currently play in Mullett Arena, the home rink for the Arizona State Sun Devils hockey team that seats around 5,000 fans, but the plan was for them to play there temporarily so they could build a brand new arena in Tempe as part of a $2.1 billion entertainment district development plan.

The goal of All aTwitter is to give readers a handy spot to check the Washington Commanders beat writers & bloggers, national sports journalists, and football fans in order to keep up on the latest news and opinions about Washington, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

In light of the upcoming 2023 NHL Awards and the finalists just being announced, we're going to take a look back over the past decade at players who could and probably should have won certain trophies, but lost out due to where they played (lack of exposure) or voters just making the popular choice.

The round two matchup between the New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes begins Wednesday.The Devils and Hurricanes have a limited playoff history, but it almost always ends in heartbreak for the Devils.In four playoff matchups, the Hurricanes have prevailed three times.The Devils have not beaten Carolina in the postseason since 2001.

Another year, another non-playoff season for the Arizona Coyotes, but that has the potential to change sooner rather than later.Yes, the Coyotes will continue to play in a college arena for now.Yes, they once again spent the NHL Trade Deadline retaining salaries and acquiring players/contracts other teams no longer wanted.

The Minnesota Wild took their road trip to the West Coast when they headed to California to take on the San Jose Sharks.While the Sharks are not having a great season, they are still a talented team that can score and made it difficult on a Wild team missing their star scorer, Kirill Kaprizov.It was their first game without Kaprizov, but they started the game out on the right foot with an early goal.
