Claude Lemieux, who died at 60, was a winner. He won in the QMJHL, he won on the international stage and he won in the NHL.

The Vegas Golden Knights did not touch the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl when they were Western Conference champions in 2023 and later went on to win the Stanley Cup.

They didn't touch the trophy again in 2026: https://t.co/puYVwjP4vj

Gavin McKenna is the easy choice at first overall for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

But is he the right choice?

My latest @TheHockeyNews breaks down the tale of the tape between Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg at 1st overall!

Who should the Toronto Maple Leafs draft first overall? Could the Vancouver Canucks get a first-overall-caliber winger at third overall?

I know everyone in Leafs Nation is getting hyped about adding Gavin McKenna but Ivar Stenberg is a legitimate option at #1

A special season in the SHL, led Sweden to gold at the WJC, and he’s an incredibly well-rounded player. Might play at the World Championship for 🇸🇪 too.

The #PWHL is planning a five-phase expansion process beginning May 28, running through June 13.

The schedule for the second round is out 👀 https://t.co/pxQ4TaRMi6

[The Hockey News @TheHockeyNews]

The playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning is the best of the first round by far, says @Ken_Campbell27.

Here's why: https://t.co/uEOuorP5h9

BREAKING:

The PWHL is set to move "away from a traditional expansion draft model" to protect player choice in the process.
