In this week's edition of Monday Morning Headlines, we take a look at the active point streaks of Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl, the newly named third line sparking a big win over the Florida Panthers and we check in on how former Vegas Golden Knights are doing around the NHL.

As the trade deadline slowly approaches, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have plenty of work that needs to get done in terms of addressing their needs. General Manager Brad Treliving has made it clear for months that their top priority is to acquire another centre to help shore up their depth.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jack Eichel's net worth is estimated at around $30 million as of January 2025. Eichel signed an eight-year, $80 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres in 2017.

Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled. That included helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago.

The club is last in the Eastern Conference with an 18-26-5 record and, barring an unprecedented run, the playoff drought that’s chased off season-ticket holders will reach 14 years.

On Sunday, the NHL revealed the Vegas Golden Knights’ quarter-century team. As you’d expect, most of the players featured on the “roster” were on the 2023 Stanley Cup Championship team.

With trade speculation swirling about Buffalo Sabres center Dylan Cozens, 20-year-old Jiri Kulich impressed coach Lindy Ruff on the first line.

The Buffalo Sabres are on the brink of allowing their playoff drought to continue into its 14th season, despite rebuild after rebuild. First, there was the “tank for Connor McDavid”, but they failed at that and ended up with Jack Eichel instead.

He also endured a few rocky seasons with the Sabres that ended in him being bought out. In his first year with the Edmonton Oilers, he’s gone from a high-profile free-agent signee to someone struggling to get into the lineup.

The slumping Vegas Golden Knights begin their final homestand before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off when they host the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday in Las Vegas.

DENVER — Trading Moose is fan abuse. Surely, they’re not done. Right? Shipping out Mikko Rantanen has to be the beginning of a mid-season makeover — not the Finn-ishing piece. Surely, somebody’s coming.
