How the coronavirus pandemic has given leverage to NHL players
It only took 27 years, a few lockouts and a global coronavirus pandemic, but National Hockey League players might finally have some leverage against commissioner Gary Bettman and the owners.

Re-drafting the top 10 picks of every NHL draft from 2010-2019: A decade of selection do-overs
If there's one thing NHL scouts hate, it's re-drafts. The reverse engineering and 20-20 hindsight make it all too easy for us to ask "What if?" and point out where everyone went wrong in evaluations. But unfortunately for those scouts, that's also what makes re-drafts fun exercises. There is no magic formula for teams to draft perfectly. They don't have a crystal ball, and there always wll be misses. Even so, we've seen fewer and fewer glaring mistakes in the first round of the annual NHL draft. Franchises might not get full value, but more often than not, they are drafting everyday NHLers on Day 1. When we apply what we know today to the past 10 draft classes, we can paint a unique picture of each group. We revisited the top 10 picks of those draft classes, from 2010 to 2019, and reassigned picks. Some still are no-brainers today just as they were at the time -- surprise, Connor McDavid still is the No. 1 selection in 2015! -- but most picks land a new player. So let's see how things stand based on our less fallible hindsight vision from 2010 to 2019, and what we've learned from the past decade of NHL drafting.

Should the NHL change the Stanley Cup playoffs?
With 70 points through 69 games, Chicago remains mathematically relevant. Only the Detroit Red Wings have actually been formally eliminated in this NHL season. What if the NHL expanded its playoff field for the first time in 40 years?
