Patrick Kane is a right winger by trade, but he's spent some time at center for the 'Hawks this season.
By Nicholas J. Cotsonika
Patrick Kane expected a growth spurt this season. He has gone through growing pains instead – off-season wrist surgery that hurt his training, a move to center that forced him to adjust, the worst statistics of his five-year NHL career, even the suggestion that he might be tradable.

New Jersey Devils forward Cam Janssen believes removing fighting from junior hockey could hurt future NHLers.
By Sunaya SapurjiWhen Larry Mavety tells you stories about his early days in hockey, they seem almost fantastical.
They are scenes straight out of the movie Slap Shot, in which the 69-year-old former player, coach and GM was actually an extra.

By Ryan Lambert Trending Topics is a column that looks at the week in hockey, occasionally according to Twitter. If you're only going to comment to say how stupid Twitter is, why not just go have a good cry for the slow, sad death of your dear internet instead? Remember over the summer when the Toronto Maple Leafs made a couple of decent signings and everyone was like, "Oh, hey, I bet they end up being a borderline playoff team," and that all seemed reasonable? Then they started out pretty hot, with Phil Kessel scoring 1,000 goals in two games and the Leafs streaking to a 10-5-1 record on Nov.

Winners? Losers? Truth is, we won't know for a long time who made all the right moves at Monday's NHL trade deadline.

By Nicholas J. Cotsonika The NHL trade deadline is 3 p.m. ET on Monday. The Rick Nash deadline is not. There is no Rick Nash deadline. There is no reason for Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson to trade his franchise player now unless he receives the huge premium he is seeking, when he can wait until summer and have a better chance at making his best deal.

By Nicholas J. Cotsonika
