Collin Morikawa Running Hot Heading into WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational

Collin Morikawa is on quite a run as the WGC tournament looms this weekend. The golfer has four straight top-four finishes including the Olympics where he shot a final-round 63. He won The Open and leads all golfers in strokes gained from tee-to-green at 2.044. It almost always comes down to putting for Morikawa but […]

Justin Thomas Likely to Contend at WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational

Justin Thomas won this tournament last year and has the tools to possibly repeat as champion. Strokes gained from tee-to-green is pretty vital on the Memphis course. Eight of the last ten winners have topped the category. Thomas ranks sixth this season overall in this metric at 1.469 strokes gained. Also, his 68-65 weekend at […]

Nick Ritchie Shipping Out to Toronto on New Contract

Nick Ritchie signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. His new deal will pay him an AAV of $2.5 million over the next two seasons. The former Boston Bruin scored 15 goals last year.

Zach Werenski Gets Long-Term Extension from Columbus Blue Jackets

Zach Werenski signed a six-year extension late on Thursday night with Columbus. This keeps him as a member of the Blue Jackets until 2028.

Filip Chytil Receives Bridge Deal to Stay in New York

Filip Chytil inked a two-year contract on Thursday with the New York Rangers. The forward will be paid an AAV of $2.3 million. Chytil had a bit of a dip in ice time and goals last season. He only played in 42 games due to injuries but did have eight goals and 22 points. This […]

Brandon Saad Heads to St. Louis with New Contract

Brandon Saad signed with the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. He agreed to a five-year deal worth $4.5 million AAV. The one thing the winger could do is score goals. Saad lit the lamp 15 times in just 44 games last season (that's the 27 goal regular-season pace). There was somewhat of a concern with […]

Pius Suter Heads to Detroit on New Two-Year Contract

The Chicago Blackhawks walked away from a qualifying offer to Pius Suter. So, the Detroit Red Wings quickly struck. They signed the forward to a two-year deal worth $3.25 million AAV on Wednesday. Suter spent good parts of the season centering forwards like Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane. He scored 14 goals and 27 points […]

New Jersey also gave Buffalo a 2022 fifth-round draft pick for future considerations. Butcher has one year left and $3.733 million on his current deal. The defenseman's production had steadily slipped […]

Mikael Granlund Stays With Nashville Predators in New Deal

Mikael Granlund is back with the Nashville Predators after signing a four-year pact worth $5 million AAV on Wednesday.

Granlund […]

Darcy Kuemper Traded to the Colorado Avalanche

Darcy Kuemper was traded on Wednesday evening to the Colorado Avalanche.

Petr Mrazek and Toronto Agree to Three-Year Contract

Petr Mrazek was expendable in Carolina and that was good news for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Mrazek signed a three-year contract with an AAV of $3.8 million. This will be to serve as a backup for starter, Jack Campbell. Mrazek has been one of the better goaltenders in the league the past couple of seasons. […]

David Savard Nabs Four-Year Contract with Montreal Canadiens

David Savard will call the Montreal Canadiens home for the next four seasons. The veteran defenseman signed a deal on Wednesday that will pay him $3.5 million AAV.

Pat Perez Risky at 3M Open This Week

Pat Perez has been a bit up and down lately. There was the Rocket Mortgage finish where Perez stayed in the top 15 even with a 70 during the final round. However, the John Deere Classic showed that the golfer just could not make enough putts. He missed the cut as a result. The American […]

Adam Schenk Could Be Unexpected Good Option at 3M

Adam Schenk ranks 45th on the tour in birdies at 3.92 per round. With the ability to drive balls around 300 yards a hole, that may be enough to get around the TPC Twin Cities golf course. Schenk can get on greens well on easy-to-drive courses. The last two weeks have seen the American golfer […]

Jhonattan Vegas Could Have More DFS Upside at 3M

Jhonattan Vegas is a top-50 golfer when it comes to making birdies and ranks 12th in driving length at 310 yards. Other than maybe the 70 at the John Deere during the final round, Vegas has shown the ability to drive the ball well and make enough putts to contend at these longer yardage tournaments. […]

Brandt Snedeker Thriving at 3M Open Likely

One of the few golfers that can do well at longer yardage tournaments is Brandt Snedeker. Snedeker has an average drive of just 286 yards. However, he is one of the few golfers who can drop birdies and eagles among the best in the field this week at the 3M Open. Past results at the […]

Gary Woodland Trying to Bounce Back at 3M

Gary Woodland won the US Open in 2019 but has not found that same form since the pandemic. There have been a few top ten results at the Valero, Charles Schwab, and Wells Fargo. However, the American golfer has not been able to make enough putts. That has resulted in him missing the cut in […]

Lucas Herbert a Dicey Option at 3M Open

Lucas Herbert can drive a ball around 310 yards but can that putter be trusted? Over the last year, the Australian golfer has not topped -10 at any tournament. Yes, there are always outliers but Herbert just has not shown the ability to sink this many putts. Again, something close to -20 is going to […]

Robert MacIntyre May Not Be Able to Hang Around at 3M

Robert MacIntyre definitely could have some issues with the long course at TPC Twin Cities. However, he might fare well too. The problem is MacIntyre has finished well last week. At The Open Championship, he fired a 65-67 over the weekend. The problem is can he drop enough birdies? It's a great question given his […]

Cameron Davis One to Watch at 3M

Cameron Davis hit the ball with purpose a few weeks ago and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic at -18. Let that sink in. Again, it will take about that kind of performance to win at the TPC Twin Cities. This is a par-71, 7400+ yard course. Also, there are plenty of holes where eagles and […]

Sergio Garcia 's Putter Could Again be Issue at 3M

Sergio Garcia should typically be expected to thrive in a tournament where distance is an advantage along with tee-to-green play. Garcia ranks 18th with 1.14 strokes gained. The Spanish golfer has excelled in the final rounds of the last two majors shooting 68 and 66 to sneak into the top 20. There will be no […]
