New Rangers Forward Could Be Big Surprise

The New York Rangers are heading into the 2025-26 season with the hope of turning things back around. They certainly have the potential to be a postseason club if their top players step up.

Yet, when looking at the Rangers' roster, they have an interesting under-the-radar player to keep a very close eye on this season: Taylor Raddysh.

The Rangers signed Raddysh to a two-year, $3 million deal back in July in a move to improve their forward depth. While this move was among the smaller NHL signings of the summer, the potential for Raddysh to be a good addition to the Rangers' roster is certainly there.

Raddysh has shown during his career that he has the potential to provide decent secondary offensive production when playing at his best. During this past season with the Washington Capitals, he recorded 27 points in 80 games. Yet, he also showed that he can put the puck in the net during the 2022-23 season with the Chicago Blackhawks, as he scored a career-high 20 goals and recorded 37 points in 78 games.

If Raddysh can produce that kind of offense this season, it would be big for a Rangers club that could use more secondary scoring. It will be interesting to see if he can do just that for the Rangers in 2025-26 and be a nice surprise for them.

Former Oilers D-Man Makes Jump To Broadcast Role With Canucks

Former Edmonton Oilers defenseman Tyson Barrie is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks' television broadcast team.

"It was an easy decision, I think it was the only decision." Barrie joked earlier this summer that his retirement from the NHL was made in tandem with 32 other NHL teams. He laughed off the idea that no one offered a contract, which made it clear that it was time he moved on to other things.   

 

Barrie showed up on the broadcast on Friday and said, "I spent 70 games in the press box last year, so I figured I could jump right into this press box this year." 

He was asked if he'd given thought to becoming a broadcaster or analyst at some point during his playing career. He responded he'd thought about it a little, mostly when he was being interviewed by people and realized he was better at it than they were.

Barrie wanted to bow out of the NHL gracefully, and while some might argue spending most of last season watching means he's retired a year or two too late, Barrie did hang up his skates on his own terms. He posted 508 points in 110 goals and 398 assists. He played in 822 games, spending time with the Colorado Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Nashville Predators, and Calgary Flames. 

At one time, he was known as one of the NHL's top offensive defensemen, posting multiple 50-point seasons. 

It wasn't long ago that, while not a top-pairing defenseman anymore, Barrie's experience and offensive ability may have surpassed the Oilers’ current options for their bottom pair, making a return in 2024 something some fans wanted. After two runs to the Stanley Final and the Oilers building an arguably strong blue line group than they've had in years, it probably worked out best for the organization.

Jets Drop Third Straight Preseason Game With Loss to Oilers On Friday

The Winnipeg Jets lose both legs of their home-and-home with the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.

The Winnipeg Jets dropped their third straight preseason contest Friday night, falling 4-0 to the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place. It was a tough outing for the Jets, who were shut out by a mixed Oilers lineup led by several NHL regulars and a few top prospects.

Goaltender Domenic Divincentiis, who had impressed earlier in the preseason, including a 38-save performance in the Jets’ prospect showcase win over the Canadiens, struggled in this one. He allowed four goals on 20 shots, finishing the night with 16 saves.

Edmonton opened the scoring midway through the first period when defenseman Darnell Nurse blasted a slapshot past Divincentiis at 9:12 to make it 1-0. The Oilers doubled their lead late in the period, as Josh Samanski fired a snap shot home at 18:37, assisted by David Tomasek.

The Oilers kept pressing in the second, with Noah Philp adding to the lead early in the frame at 2:26 with a snap shot of his own, set up by Troy Stecher and Nurse. In the third, Kasperi Kapanen capped off the scoring at 4-0 with a goal at 2:44, assisted by Andrew Mangiapane and Brett Kulak.

Jonathan Toews: Jonathan Toews: "I'm Just Excited to Play Hockey Again"For Jonathan Toews, Tuesday night at Canada Life Centre was a long time coming.

Winnipeg iced a lineup featuring several forward regulars including Nino Niederreiter, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Alex Iafallo but the trio was held off the scoresheet and each finished with a -2 rating. Rising prospects Danny Zhilkin (-2) and Colby Barlow (-1) also struggled to make an impact.

The Jets’ blue line lacked NHL regulars aside from Logan Stanley, who was heavily involved, particularly in the third period, where he racked up multiple roughing minors and a misconduct during a physical stretch against Kapanen.

The game featured plenty of penalties, especially in the final frame. Both sides exchanged roughing calls in a chippy third period, with Kapanen and Stanley each receiving game misconducts after a heated altercation.

For the Oilers, Calvin Pickard earned a 21-save shutout, backstopping a lineup that included NHLers like Mattias Janmark, Adam Henrique, and Mangiapane. Notably, top prospects Matthew Savoie and Isaac Howard dressed but were held without points

The Jets will look to regroup as they continue their preseason schedule versus the Flames on Saturday in hopes of building momentum and refining their roster ahead of opening night.

'Delusional' Martin 'living in a dream'

your views graphic
[BBC]

We asked for your views on Russell Martin's claims that Rangers are full of confidence and can still win the league.

Here's what some of you said:

Iain: So this is a confident team? God help us when their confidence goes. What is this guy on? What is it he seeing that the rest of us are missing? Never seen a team so disjointed and afraid in my life. What do they do at training? Laughing stock. Win the league? I think just now I would settle for a league win. Although it could be possible as last time Rangers won league there were no fans, it's going that way just now.

Bob: Martin is delusional. Anyone watching Thursday's game saw a team low on confidence and without a plan. Without Jack Butland it could have been 6-0. I think we might have a chance in the Championship next year.

Dougie: When you look at the players over the last few years who have come to Rangers, Aaron Ramsay, Amad Diallo, Max Aarons, Nasser Djiga, Joe Rothwell, they are all Premier League players, plus the long list of internationals from across numerous countries and leagues. What I want to know is what makes these players so bad up here? Is it Scottish football? Adapting to different style of play and pace or is there something inherently wrong at Rangers that turns quality/good players to dross? While on this subject I am wondering if Nicolas Raskin is really good or does he just stand out in this really, really abysmal Rangers team.

Jim: There is no confidence in this team, Martin is wearing rose tinted glasses. The only place we are getting is bottom of our league and hopeless in Europe. A lot of the existing players just don't seem to want to be there and play football. If they are scared, they should not even be in the squad. I would tell them no wages until you start to play for the team. They are dull and boring and I just wasted a lot of my money on a season ticket, it's time for Rangers to get rid of the dross we have in the team already.

Colin: Please just go Russell. He's living in a dream if he thinks he can still win the league. The team looks like mid-table at the best and is currently second bottom.

Alexander: This apology of a manager is seriously deluded. He has no idea how to manage a club of this size. His methods are not working, his style is slow, ponderous, boring and negative. He doesn't know how to motivate the team, players out of position and others that don't have the ability to play this style. He's lost the fan base already and there's no recovery from that. He should resign, failing that he should be sacked immediately.

David: I'm sorry but I really don't see where he's finding evidence for the comments he makes about the current situation. He's clearly out his depth from the evidence so far. The team look clueless and their body language is deafening as soon as they concede a goal! There is only one ultimate option and that's the immediate sacking of Martin, the worst manager in our history!

Blackhawks Veteran Is Key Piece This Season

Nick Foligno (© Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images)

The Chicago Blackhawks will be looking to take a step forward in their rebuild this season. When noting that they have several young players who have the potential to break out, the possibility of them being a bit more competitive in 2025-26 is there, even if they miss the playoffs again.

While a lot of this season's focus should be on the Blackhawks' youngsters, Nick Foligno's importance to the Original Six club in 2025-26 should not be ignored. 

As the captain of the Blackhawks, Foligno will continue to be relied upon because of his excellent leadership qualities. Having a veteran like him in the room is undoubtedly a great thing for the Blackhawks' youngsters, as he has 18 years of NHL experience. He was also previously captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, so he is undoubtedly impactful as a leader.

Furthermore, at this stage of career, Foligno is still capable of providing decent secondary offensive production and plenty of grit. In 78 games this past season with the Blackhawks, the 6-foot winger recorded 15 goals, 20 assists, 35 points, and 200 hits. Thus, he should once again be a key forward for Chicago in 2025-26, and it will be interesting to see what kind of year he puts together.

Ex-NBA All-Star argues Warriors, Kings should swap Jonathan Kuminga, Malik Monk

Ex-NBA All-Star argues Warriors, Kings should swap Jonathan Kuminga, Malik Monk originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

As the Warriors’ contract saga with free-agent forward Jonathan Kuminga approaches the three-month mark, there are plenty of opinions across the NBA landscape on how to bring the standoff to an end.

Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague hasn’t shied away from sharing his thoughts on the situation throughout the offseason, and this week, he advocated for Golden State to make a move that would benefit both itself and Kuminga.

On a recent episode of his “Club 520” podcast, Teague explained why he’d like to see the Warriors complete a sign-and-trade deal that would send Kuminga to Sacramento and guard Malik Monk to the Bay.

“Malik Monk could actually be a fire addition to the Warriors,” Teague stated (h/t Golden State Warriors on SI.com). “But I think they are set on a big — that’s what they need more than anything. I think he’d be a fire addition, though, because they need a spark plug like him. That’s the Jordan Poole type of player right there.”

Across his last three seasons with Sacramento, Monk has averaged 15.3 points per game on 44.3 percent shooting from the field and 34.4 percent from 3-point range. The 27-year-old finished fifth and second in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, respectively.

As Teague noted, Monk could provide the Warriors with a similar spark off the bench to former Golden State guard Jordan Poole, who played a pivotal role in their 2022 NBA Finals-winning run.

“I think if he got in that system with those veterans and those players, that could mold him a little more. He’ll probably be better than Jordan Poole, to be honest,” Teague continued on Monk. “I’m not saying he’s a better player. Jordan Poole is cold, but Jordan Poole grew up in that system, so he figured out how to be successful in it.” 

While the Warriors finding a Poole-type replacement sounds great in theory, it might not be all that realistic at this point.

According to a report by NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson on Saturday, the chances of Golden State agreeing to a sign-and-trade featuring Kuminga are slim.

With time running out for both sides to make a decision, a conclusion to this months-long saga should come soon.

Warriors officially promote Steve Kerr's son Nicholas to assistant coach

Warriors officially promote Steve Kerr's son Nicholas to assistant coach originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Another Kerr will be on the Warriors’ bench for the 2025-26 NBA season.

Nicholas Kerr, son of Golden State head coach Steve Kerr, was promoted to an assistant coach role for the upcoming season, per a Warriors release Saturday.

Kerr, 32, spent the last two seasons as the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G-League affiliate. He has been with the organization since 2018, previously spending three seasons with Golden State working in player development and as a video coordinator.

Under his father, who is entering his 12th NBA season as Golden State’s head coach, Kerr will join a veteran coaching staff on the Warriors’ bench. Former NBA head coaches Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse are two prominent names on the staff; both were hired prior to the 2024-25 season.

The Warriors also announced a slew of other changes within their basketball operations department. Notably, David Fatoki was promoted to vice president of basketball development after serving as the general manager of Santa Cruz for the last four seasons. Nikola Milojević, son of late Golden State assistant coach Dejan Milojević, has been hired in a video coordinator, player development role as well.
