Your NHL lottery team knows where their pick is now. Here's why they should trade it
Last night saw the hockey world settle in to watch the NHL draft lottery, an annual event in which a collection of ping-pong balls reward whichever franchise and its fans are found to be the most noble and pure of heart.So now we know the NHL’s order for this June’s draft, pending any trades. And it really feels like we’re only saying that last part to be polite. It’s exceedingly rare to see a team trade a pick in the first half of the first round, at least once the lottery has come and gone and...
What we learned at Eagles' rookie camp: Makai Lemon comes in with intrigue
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles completed their two-day rookie minicamp last weekend, an event that’s like the NFL’s version of freshman orientation. You get a taste of the student body, but it doesn’t quite feel like school’s in session. It’s nonetheless a first impression — for the coaches and anyone observing practices. The period open to reporters was limited, preventing any sweeping evaluations.Advertisement
F1 could get loud again from 2030: Why the sport is discussing changing engines again
Just four races into its new era of car and engine designs, Formula 1 is already discussing what comes next.Technical regulations were overhauled for the 2026 season, a key part being the hybrid V6 engines that increased electrical power and runusing fully-sustainable fuels. But now, the sport could be set to change course — and get loud again — by returning to the simpler V8 engines as soon as 2030.Advertisement
Which LIV players have the most value to the PGA Tour? It starts with Bryson DeChambeau
There are two truths in collision here.Yes, indeed, the PGA Tour won’t simply open its arms to LIV defectors if some request a return. As PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp recently told The Wall Street Journal, “There were rules, and they were broken. With rules comes accountability.” Especially in the case of the golfers who didn’t resign from the tour and, in turn, were in breach of contract playing on an unauthorized tour — especially those who sued the PGA Tour for antitrust violations. Ask Hudson S...

Inside the Sabres' power-play issues: Can Buffalo find a solution against Montreal?
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said with the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs starting, every power play in the NHL is starting 0-0.That’s how the Sabres need to frame it after going 1-for-24 with the man advantage in the first round while allowing a short-handed goal. The Sabres did get a goal from Josh Doan seconds after a power play had expired, so those numbers could have been a bit better. But it’s been an ugly stretch for the Sabres’ power play. Dating back to Apri...
Masai Ujiri's passion should help Mavericks finally move on from Luka Dončić
Do you remember the news conference, introducing Kawhi Leonard as a Toronto Raptor, when the mercurial superstar said he was a “fun guy” and laughed the laugh that launched a million memes? Of course you do. It was precisely the type of viral moment the NBA is so good at producing.That’s not what Torontonians remember that news conference for, though. They remember it as Masai Ujiri’s TED Talk about civic pride.Advertisement

What I'm hearing about the Vikings' search for a new general manager
It’s a quiet time around the NFL, which partially explains why so many around the league are watching the Minnesota Vikings’ search for a new general manager so closely.They are likely finding the organization’s approach … interesting. The Vikings fired former GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah late in the calendar, delayed their search for a replacement until after the draft and have yet to officially interview a single candidate.Advertisement
3 big questions for the Bruins this offseason: Defense, No. 1 center, impact wing
Nobody will be surprised if the Florida Panthers return to the playoffs in 2026-27. The Columbus Blue Jackets faded at the end but showed signs of momentum. There will be consequences at the top if the Detroit Red Wings stretch their postseason no-show to 11 seasons.All of this is to say the Boston Bruins require reinforcements if they want to avoid regression.Advertisement
Twins' Trevor Larnach shakes off early offseason uncertainty for strong start
WASHINGTON — Trevor Larnach wasn’t sure where he’d play in 2026, a strange feeling, no doubt. But early in the offseason, Larnach decided whatever team acquired him, he wanted to be ready to give that team his best.Somewhat surprisingly to Larnach and just about everyone else, the Minnesota Twins tendered the outfielder a contract in November.True to his word, Larnach is giving the Twins his best.Advertisement
What we learned about the 8 NHL teams eliminated in Round 1
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter that the Tampa Bay Lightning played an almost perfect Game 7.The Lightning put up a masterclass in defensive structure when it mattered most, limiting the Canadiens to zero shots on goal in the second period, and only nine in 60 minutes.Blame poor puck luck in Game 7 or Jakub Dobes’ excellence — both were unquestionably difference-makers here.But those aren’t the only reasons why the Lightning’s season ended on Sunday night.
The Wizards hope their luck changes for the better in this year's NBA Draft Lottery
We’re back, folks, for what might be the final consequential NBA Draft Lottery for the Washington Wizards for some time. (At least, they hope so!)We did this last year, when the Wizards were dreaming of adding a future superstar by getting to draft either Cooper Flagg out of Duke or Dylan Harper out of Rutgers — each a franchise-level player at his respective position — with one of the top two picks in the draft.Advertisement

Bullseye on Joel Embiid? Knicks successfully target 76er inside and outside the paint
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. — It did not take long for the New York Knicks to identify their target.Plopped in the middle of the Philadelphia 76ers’ defense was Joel Embiid, or at least what looked like Joel Embiid, the former MVP whose joints now squeak upon the slightest movement. Embiid remains gargantuan, capable of scaring away drivers, deterring shots and every once in a while — with his 7-foot frame, never-ending arms and brilliant basketball instincts — swatting away a shot. But the Knicks had deeme...

As Blue Jays face more injury uncertainty, they could really use a bounce to go their way
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — On a night when the lottery balls fell in favour of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the baseballs bounced against the Blue Jays. One important ball, though, remains in the air.A hit sneaked under Ernie Clement’s diving glove in Tuesday’s eighth inning, followed by a bouncing grounder that hopped over the mound and skittered into the outfield to hand the Tampa Bay Rays the lead. George Springer, standing in disbelief in the batter’s box an inning later, watched Junior Caminero sna...
How much better can Gavin McKenna make the Maple Leafs right away?
For an organization that had no appetite for a long rebuild process, as per the mandate coming right from ownership, the Toronto Maple Leafs couldn’t have received a better boost to a retool than winning the draft lottery on Tuesday night.The Leafs entered the lottery with likely the most at stake in the entire NHL, given there was a 58.2 percent chance of losing their pick entirely as part of the Brandon Carlo trade made at the 2025 deadline. Leaping all the way up to No. 1, meanwhile, came wit...
