There has been some explosive buyout news in the NHL, but it doesn't involve the New York Islanders.In fact, nothing noteworthy, newsworthy, or otherwise worth talking about has come up regarding the Islanders.That said, we've got some bits for you fine folks.Around the league, the rumors-or, as Pierre LeBrun likes to call them, "rumblings"-are picking up.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have a lot of decisions to make this off-season, but debatably the biggest decision is regarding the future of their #1 centre, Auston Matthews.At Matthews end of season interview, he did state that he wants to stay with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but people have said the same and still ended up playing on a different team before.

The Toronto Maple Leafs under Kyle Dubas did one thing really well, and that was that they didn't pay non-star players much term or money.Sure, the Toronto Maple Leafs made exceptions (and I'd argue they shouldn't have) for players like Cale Jarnkrok, Alex Kerfoot and others.However, Kerfoot had upside, and Jarnkrok's four years made his cap hit really cheap.

As the new general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, will Brad Treliving bring in a few familiar faces from his time as the GM in Calgary?The Toronto Maple Leafs recently added Shane Doan to be an assistant GM to Treliving.Doan and Treliving worked together during Treliving's time in the Arizona Coyotes organization.

Will Brad Treliving be the next general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs?Many in the media, including Elliotte Friedman believe the Toronto Maple Leafs top job is his to lose.The Leafs are in the early stages of looking for Kyle Dubas' replacement as GM.There are many qualified candidates available for team president Brendan Shanahan to interview.

The Stanley Cup will be in the building Tuesday night, as the Vegas Golden Knights won Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead.They can clinch their first championship in Game 5 on home ice.Here at home, not much to write home about.New York Islanders Reading


GM Lou Lamoriello believes Bo Horvat struggled down the stretch due to overuse after Mathew Barzal went down hurt.

The chance that the Ottawa Senators and forward Alex DeBrincat go their separate ways this offseason looks like it's increasing in certainty by the day.DeBrincat's restricted free agent status and the sheer confusion surrounding the team's ownership situation are the largest contributing factors.The two sides seem like they'll be heading in the direction of a mutually beneficial trade and that was buoyed by a Wednesday report from Pierre LeBrun during TSN's Insider Trading.

Two games into the Stanley Cup Final and it's been all Vegas Golden Knights.Goaltender Adin Hill has stolen the spotlight more than a few times (how many times have you seen his game one save by now?).The goaltender might also serve a pressing need for Vegas next season that doesn't have to do with his in-net heroics.

One of the worst-kept secrets of the May long weekend was officially revealed on Tuesday afternoon.The Calgary Flames have officially promoted former-Flame, Craig Conroy, from Assistant General Manager to General Manager of the team.Insiders around the team publicized the news on Friday afternoon and it was confirmed by the Flames in a press conference at noon on May 23rd.

Team Latvia made history on Sunday, winning the nation's first-ever medal at the 2023 IIHF World Championship.Defenseman Kristians Rubins scored twice, including the overtime-winner to defeat the United States 4-3.Both the team and the country as a whole responded to the win with exuberant celebration.

It is a pretty great time for supporters of Chaminade Prep.The small, Catholic school in St. Louis, Missouri, just held its graduation for the Class of 2023, and two of its distinguished alumni are enjoying a lot of success in their professional lives.Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk were classmates at Chaminade.
