A dramatically rising salary cap, coupled with a healthy amount of talented young players on expiring entry-level deals, is already fueling speculation that the 2025 offseason could be the " summer of offer sheets."Others are skeptical.

PHILADELPHIA - Tyson Foerster is often a man of few words. Those words were even fewer earlier this season, when current Philadelphia Flyers interim coach (and then associate coach) Brad Shaw took him off the penalty kill.

PHILADELPHIA - In his two decades as an assistant coach in the NHL, Brad Shaw has had eight different bosses. Naturally, he's picked up a thing or two from some them along the way.

Flyers win 8-5. Sloppy? Yes. Weak goaltending? Also yes. But credit Brad Shaw for them still playing hard
Somehow it's going lower
His last start in the NHL was on Jan. 2 in Vegas. Among NHL goalies with at least 15 games this season, Kolosov's .870 save percentage is 65th out of 65.
I think Tyson Foerster just put the final nail in the Rangers' coffin this season
