The Seattle Kraken are in town to face the Blackhawks tonight. While it’s an extreme long shot to happen, there’a a chance we see Kaapo Kakko’s debut with his new team. The New York Rangers traded the 2019 No. 2 overall pick to the Kraken for a couple picks and defenseman Will Borgen. This is the second significant trade in a couple weeks for the Rangers who are spiraling badly.

It was a great interview (they’re both engaging veterans so that’s not a surprise). Here’s a clip with them talking about Connor Bedard.Connor Bedard: NOT pissyFoligno and Hall were great on @WhatChaosShow pic.twitter.com/A9Dh7uGwPp
— DJ Bean (@DJ_Bean) December 18, 2024 Speaking of Bedard, we got a look at a new collab on last night’s episode of “Road to the Winter Classic.” That’s a good lookin’ jacket. I’m liking the increasing amount of merch coming out for both the Winter Classic and the Big Ten games that are going to be played at Wrigley Field in the days that follow.Connor Bedard wears a slick looking varsity jacket on the next "Road To The NHL Winter Classic" episode. It's a collab with @sherwoodhockey and baseball brands Avirex + Marucci. Leather, custom patches that reference Wrigley Field, Chicago flags and Bedard’s initials/jersey. pic.twitter.com/gGB44S0WxT
— Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) December 18, 2024 This is a really good read from Ben Pope. A couple years ago, Derek King was Anders Sorensen’s boss in Rockford. Then he got promoted to being the interim head coach in Chicago. Now, Sorensen is the interim head coach in Chicago and… King is working on his staff! If you didn’t know, King enjoyed a nice NHL career of his own, the majority of which was spent with the New York Islanders. He’s done a solid job as an assistant on the Blackhawks’ NHL staff.Blackhawks assistant Derek King knows if he wanted another head-coaching opportunity, he'd have to leave Chicago. And that's not something he wants to do."I enjoy the organization, and I like what I do. Everybody has a niche."Story: t.co/a8YppwuMvQ

The Bears will be looking for a new head coach this spring. Patrick took a look at one of the guys I would want calling the shots at Soldier Field (or Arlington Heights), Mike Vrabel. The Cubs’ new catcher, Carson Kelly, is a huge fan. No, really. He loves the Cubs. Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic put on his coaching hat and did a nice job breaking down film. Read More Details
Finally We wish PressBee provided you with enough information of ( Kakko to Kraken, JR Night, Anders’ Changes, King’s Role, Lardis, Pridham, and Other Blackhawks Bullets )
