Ilya Mikheyev’s future with the Blackhawks hangs in the balance as he eyes a big payday after two stellar seasons. With Chicago flush with cap space and GM intent on keeping him, the rising salary cap and thinner free agent market could push Mikheyev out of reach. New signings like Roman Kantserov and potential addition Ivar Stenberg may reduce the team’s reliance on Mikheyev, but GM’s history of moves means a replacement is always on the table. Three names in the mix: Viktor Arvidsson for speed and scoring, Kasperi Kapanen for budget-friendly speed, and Bobby McMann for physical, offensive upside — each offering different fits as the Blackhawks prepare for the season.

The Canadiens aren’t rebuilding—they’re evolving, quietly turning a 2018 pivot into a Stanley Cup Final run. Trading captain Shea Weber for Nick Suzuki, who now leads the charge, was just the start. After playoff returns and a brutal 2021-22 collapse, GM Kent Hughes and coach Martin St. Louis reshaped the roster without starting from scratch. Smart trades, draft gems like Slafkovsky and Newhook, and bold moves for proven talent have turned this into a contender. The lesson? Winners don’t tear it all down—they build smartly on what’s already there.
