3 years of data collection and cultivation went into adding draft success probability into the model. It's not perfect due to the small sample size, but it's only up from here. #pwhl
Cayla Barnes might have had a down year offensively in Seattle last season, but her 0.35 career ppg is still 13th all-time in the PWHL's short history, plotting her in the 82nd percentile of defenders. Also, she has yet to miss a game in her career.
A second strong pick up for PWHL Detroit. Bilka's a career 0.67ppg producer, placing her in the league's 88th percentile all time. The only concern is that she's only appeared in 50% of eligible games due to injury in her career (30gp)
A great pickup for Detroit. Watts's career 0.78ppg is in the 96th percentile of all PWHL players (8th all-time). 2026 was a down year at 0.70...still good enough to be in the league's 90th percentile. A consistent, superstar level producer #PWHL
François Méthot will be the next head coach of the Boston Fleet, a source confirmed to the Globe.
General manager Danielle Marmer informed the players of the decision earlier this week.

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.
Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.
The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.
In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.
Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.
Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.
He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Memorial service details to follow.
We are not insiders and this is pure speculation, but @ThunderbirdsAHL Chad Wiseman or @AHLBruins Trent Whitfield would be logical options for @PWHL_Boston to replace Kris Sparre.
