Oscar Piastri claimed his second win of the season Sunday at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.Sunday's results moved McLaren ahead of Red Bull by 20 points in the constructors' championship. It's the first time McLaren has led in the standings in over 10 years, last doing so after the 2014 Australian Grand Prix."That was probably the most stressful afternoon of my life," Piastri said over the radio after winning, according to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/f1-azerbaijan-piastri-leclerc-verstappen-norris-99b71e9417dec829477196bb7088f8d7">The Associated Press</a>.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Piastri passed Charles Leclerc for the lead on Lap 20 and held off the Ferrari driver for the rest of the Grand Prix.It's the fourth straight race in Baku that Leclerc started on pole but didn't win. He finished second Sunday.The race ended under virtual safety car after Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz crashed, promoting George Russell to the final podium position.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

With NHL training camps approaching, theScore's Kyle Cushman and Josh Wegman unveil their top 50 prospects. Only players already drafted to the league were included, and any player who's already exceeded his 2025 Calder Trophy eligibility was excluded. The three-part series concludes with prospects ranked 10-1.<a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3042996" href="https://thescore.com/news/3042996">50-31</a> <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3042997" href="https://thescore.com/news/3042997">30-11</a> 10-1<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="10.

</script></figure>Iginla's development in the past year has skyrocketed. After scoring 18 points as a WHL rookie, an offseason trade to Kelowna saw the son of NHL Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla flourish. He tore up the regular season, starred in the WHL playoffs, and was a top player at the under-18s - all as one of the younger players in the draft. If Iginla makes the move to center and it sticks, he becomes an even more valuable piece for Utah.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="9.

</script></figure>High-end explosiveness and athleticism make Askarov the best goalie prospect in the world. At 22 years old, he's seemingly NHL-ready after back-to-back stellar AHL campaigns. He clearly believes in his abilities as well - Askarov successfully requested a trade out of the Nashville Predators organization because his path to the No. 1 job was blocked by Juuse Saros. The future starter's role is wide open in San Jose, but Vitek Vanecek and MacKenzie Blackwood present short-term roadblocks to NHL minutes.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="8. Zeev Buium Wild" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-f4abJ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/f4abJ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="160" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure>Buium had one of the best freshmen seasons ever by a defenseman. He was the top blue-liner on the national champions and he played top-four minutes en route to gold at the world juniors. Somehow, though, he inexplicably fell to 12th overall. His skating, two-way prowess, and ability to eat big minutes will make him an impact player for the Wild before long.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="7.

He plays a direct, north-south game and has a heavy shot that makes him a dangerous threat off the rush. There are concerns about his vision and injury history, but he has one of the highest ceilings of any player on this list.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="6. Ivan Demidov, Canadiens" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-oMvn5" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/oMvn5/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="160" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure>The Canadiens coveted a game-breaking offensive talent in the draft and there's a real chance Demidov can become that at the NHL level. Demidov's puck skills are dazzling, making him the most electrifying player in the 2024 class. Lack of experience against competition above the Russian junior ranks is the knock against Demidov, but there's little doubt he'll be an impact KHLer as soon as this season.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="5. Cutter Gauthier, Ducks" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-GvNWZ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/GvNWZ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="160" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure>Gauthier tore up the NCAA a year ago and projects to carve out a full-time role with the Ducks this season. As a power forward with a mature two-way game, he could make a seamless transition to the NHL and become a serious contender for the 2025 Calder Trophy.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="4. Artyom Levshunov, Blackhawks" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-zXydV" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/zXydV/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="160" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure>In two years, Levshunov went from playing Belarusian junior hockey to anchoring the top pairing of one of the NCAA's best teams. That insane jump in competition can't be overstated, and it's a big reason why Levshunov was the second overall pick. He has the makings of an elite, play-driving NHL defenseman with his pro size, offensive skill, and rapidly developing defensive game, all as a highly coveted right-handed shot. On seemingly an exponential development curve, the Blackhawks need to be careful to not give Levshunov too much too soon as he begins his pro career in the fall.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="3.

Smith is a dynamic offensive center, and his skill is off the charts: His hands are arguably the best of any prospect. He led the NCAA in assists and points in 2023-24 and could be the ultimate second-line center behind Macklin Celebrini.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="2. Matvei Michkov, Flyers" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-0BvLg" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/0BvLg/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="160" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure>Michkov's earlier-than-expected NHL arrival is a massive boost for the Flyers and likely leaves some teams wishing they had a mulligan for the 2023 draft. Michkov was a force as a junior-aged player in the KHL, operating as his team's most lethal offensive threat. His elite hockey sense should ease his transition to the NHL, though defensive effort could be an issue with head coach John Tortorella. Still, Michkov scoring over 60 points and winning the Calder Trophy is a realistic outcome.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="1. Macklin Celebrini, Sharks" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-B6MOs" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/B6MOs/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="160" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure>Celebrini may be a notch below Connor Bedard, but he's arguably more well-rounded. He does pretty much everything at a high level with very few - if any - holes in his game. Celebrini has true franchise player potential: He became the youngest player ever to win the Hobey Baker Award in 2024. He's also been training like a professional for the majority of his life as his father, Rick, is vice president of player health and performance for the NBA's Golden State Warriors. He should make an instant impact for the Sharks and will likely enter the 2024 campaign as the Calder Trophy favorite.

LIV Golf's <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///pga/players/1111" href="https://thescore.com/pga/players/1111">Jon Rahm</a> intends to play three DP World Tour events before the end of the season to maintain eligibility for the 2025 Ryder Cup.Players are required to enter four non-major DP World Tour events to be able to play in the event. The Olympics, where Rahm collapsed late in the final round to miss the podium, counted as one of the four.Rahm hopes to play at the Spanish Open, which begins Sept. 26, but he's uncertain if he'll be approved by the DP World Tour. The Spaniard has refused to pay DP World Tour fines for playing in LIV.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"We entered a long time ago," Rahm said Wednesday, according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/41220660/jon-rahm-eyes-world-tour-events-remain-ryder-cup-eligible">ESPN's Mark Schlabach</a>. "Whether they let me play or not is a different thing. I'm not a big fan of the fines. I think I've been outspoken about that. I don't intend to pay the fines, and we keep trying to have a discussion with them about how we can make this happen."Rahm believes it's his responsibility to play at home in Spain."I've said many times, I don't go to the Spanish Open for the glory or anything else," Rahm said. "I think it's my duty to Spanish golf to be there, and I also want to play (the Andalucia Masters) in Sotogrande. At that point, it would almost be doing not only me but Spanish golf a disservice by not letting me play."In addition to the Spanish Open and Andalucia Masters, Rahm plans to play the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland to complete his Ryder Cup eligibility.Rahm has represented Europe at the Ryder Cup three times in 2018, 2021, and 2023. The 2025 event takes place at Bethpage Black in New York.The 2023 Masters winner will play for LIV's individual championship and an $18-million prize starting Friday. Rahm concludes the LIV campaign on Sept. 22 in Dallas for the team championship.

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed defenseman <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nhl/players/2566" href="https://thescore.com/nhl/players/2566">Jani Hakanpaa</a> to a one-year contract worth $1.47 million, the team announced Wednesday.Hakanpaa, 32, reportedly agreed to a two-year pact with a $1.5-million annual cap hit on July 1, though that deal never came to fruition. Uncertainty around his health prevented him from officially signing for over two months. The 6-foot-7 defenseman didn't play for the Dallas Stars after March 16 last season after undergoing a procedure on his knee. The injury is a bone-on-bone issue, <a href="https://x.com/simmonssteve/status/1808262608534802892">The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons</a> reported in July.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Leafs general manager Brad Treliving said the team was "working through" the situation with Hakanpaa in August, according to <a href="https://x.com/sunhornby/status/1823749553675284892">The Toronto Sun's Lance Hornby</a>.Hakanpaa tallied two goals and 12 points in 64 games last year with the Stars. He averaged 18:39 of ice time and accumulated 123 blocked shots. He led Dallas with 196 hits, 86 more than the second-ranked player on the team, despite missing 18 contests."One of the areas, looking back at last season, we wanted to address was our penalty kill," Treliving <a href="https://youtu.be/Xgt1QBESfaI?si=OimFIq79ZNkTBlRa">said</a> on July 1. "That's an area that Jani really shines, is his ability to kill penalties. You saw that in Dallas over the years, and specifically this past season." Hakanpaa has accrued 15 goals and 45 points in 288 games over parts of five seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, and Stars. His 883 hits since 2020 - when he became an NHL regular - rank ninth league-wide.The Maple Leafs had only $400,333 of cap space with a 22-man roster before signing Hakanpaa, according to <a href="https://puckpedia.com/team/toronto-maple-leafs">PuckPedia</a>. Toronto also has <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nhl/players/666" href="https://thescore.com/nhl/players/666">Max Pacioretty</a> and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nhl/players/1319" href="https://thescore.com/nhl/players/1319">Steven Lorentz</a> attending training camp on professional tryouts.

The wait is over. A year after the PWHL's inception, the league announced the names of its "Inaugural Six" franchises ahead of the 2024-25 season.The league didn't want to rush the naming process in the short timeline between its June 2023 founding and Jan. 1, 2024 puck drop, so it opted to use only city and state names in the inaugural season.Now, after a process that was still admittedly quick, the names and logos are ready. "Most teams take 18 months to build out a team logo or a team name. We decided we were going to do six in nine months," said Amy Scheer, senior vice president of business operations.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The condensed timeline was influenced by the desire to make jerseys available for fans prior to the start of the second season, set to kick off in November. "Jersey artwork was really the driving factor of this because we wanted to make sure we would have jerseys ready for the start of the season to reflect the updated identities," said Kanan Bhatt-Shah, the league's vice president of brand and marketing. PWHL looked to a creative agency called Flower Shop for help with the team identities, a process Scheer said started on day one of the league itself. "We really started collecting insights and feedback from our general managers, our players, and, of course, over the course of the season, our fans," she said.Do these new identities make the grade? Here, theScore's Jolene Latimer and Kyle Cushman break down what's good and what's not about each team name and logo.<figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744381/cropped_PR_-_BOS_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744381/w220xh124_PR_-_BOS_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744381/w320xh180_PR_-_BOS_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744381/w640xh360_PR_-_BOS_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744381/w768xh432_PR_-_BOS_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744381/w1080xh607_PR_-_BOS_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> PWHL</figcaption></figure>Boston Fleet The logo is meant to evoke movement - that of "sailing toward victory" with the slanted "B." Juxtaposed with this is the outline of an anchor - a nod to Boston's maritime past, which is also the inspiration for the team name. "We really wanted to combine that with the spirit of the people, the spirit of Bostonians and New England - this resilience, unity, and that spirit," Bhatt-Shah said. What I'm liking: Boston's brand is togetherness, and the concept of an armada certainly evokes that. The logo itself is one of the league's most modern and visually appealing. Beyond the "B" logo itself, I think the way the team's name is stylized in its full version is strong and compelling.What's not working: I would have liked to see more of a tie-in to women's history, or women's sports history. While the concept of including local maritime history is nice, overall it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to tell a more elevated story with the naming. - Jolene LatimerGrade: B+ <figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744380/cropped_Minnesota_Frost_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906814" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744380/w220xh124_Minnesota_Frost_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906814 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744380/w320xh180_Minnesota_Frost_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906814 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744380/w640xh360_Minnesota_Frost_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906814 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744380/w768xh432_Minnesota_Frost_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906814 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744380/w1080xh607_Minnesota_Frost_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906814 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> PWHL</figcaption></figure>Minnesota Frost This logo leans hard into the weather, with cold imagery hidden throughout. The slanted "F" is designed to look like icicles in motion and the "dimensional form" represents the "harsh beauty of Minnesota's winters." The sharp edges and points are also temperature-related - said to show "cold precision." "It's such a strong, bold, intense logo that I think a lot of people are very excited about, including the players," said Kendall Coyne Schofield.What I'm liking: The logo itself looks cool, even if the explanations behind its anatomy are prosaic. I can see this logo working well on a lot of different merchandise. I like its built-in dimension, which is itself a bit of a departure from the flat logo designs that teams and brands have favored in recent years.What's not working: Building a hockey logo on the idea of winter weather is not necessarily groundbreaking. Conceptually, this logo and name combination doesn't do it for me. - Latimer Grade: B- <figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744385/cropped_Montre%CC%81al_Victoire_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744385/w220xh124_Montre%CC%81al_Victoire_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744385/w320xh180_Montre%CC%81al_Victoire_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744385/w640xh360_Montre%CC%81al_Victoire_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744385/w768xh432_Montre%CC%81al_Victoire_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744385/w1080xh607_Montre%CC%81al_Victoire_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> PWHL</figcaption></figure>Montreal Victoire The logo is designed to project a "spirit of victory" and is rich with symbolism. "It's going to be a mindset," said Montreal captain Marie-Philip Poulin. "It's going to be what the team's going to rally around, what the city's going to rally around, and what our fans are going to be all about."What I'm liking: I'm loving the crest approach with this logo, and the hidden nods within it. The "Wings of Triumph" symbolize the goddess of victory, and the hidden "M" using the team's secondary colors represents Montreal. The fleur-de-lis above it is likewise a nod to Quebec. This logo hits all the right notes to blend history, legend, and the ideals of sport. The name itself is somewhat on the ambiguous side, but for a city like Montreal that works just fine.What's not working: I think future iterations of the logo that look more polished will elevate the feel of the team and league. This logo is a strong start but still feels a bit lackluster when compared to logos of other professional sports teams in North America. - LatimerGrade: A <figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744383/cropped_Ottawa_Charge_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906817" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744383/w220xh124_Ottawa_Charge_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906817 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744383/w320xh180_Ottawa_Charge_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906817 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744383/w640xh360_Ottawa_Charge_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906817 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744383/w768xh432_Ottawa_Charge_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906817 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744383/w1080xh607_Ottawa_Charge_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906817 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> PWHL</figcaption></figure>Ottawa Charge The Charge logo is a styled "C" that not only represents the team name but also the city with the hidden "O" in the middle. "It's not just a nod to the city, being the center of government, but it's a nod to our fans as well," captain Brianne Jenner said. "And I hope our fans realize that and embrace that. The electric energy they brought in our first season is a bit part of our identity."What I'm liking: The dark red, yellow, and white is a classic combo that blends well with the Ottawa Senators but is different enough to not copy the color palette. The "C" logo creating an "O" in the middle is a nice touch.What's not working: The logo looks like a mashup of the Calgary Flames and Cleveland Cavaliers. So much effort from the league went into choosing unique names, only to have a logo that closely resembles two major teams. "Charge" is inspired by the city motto, "Advance - Ottawa - En Avant." It's ultimately a fancy synonym. The trademarked name from last year - "Alert" - at least has a history in the city dating back to a women's hockey team from the 1920s. This one's a miss. - Kyle Cushman Grade: D <figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744382/cropped_New_York_Sirens_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744382/w220xh124_New_York_Sirens_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744382/w320xh180_New_York_Sirens_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744382/w640xh360_New_York_Sirens_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744382/w768xh432_New_York_Sirens_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744382/w1080xh607_New_York_Sirens_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906818 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> PWHL</figcaption></figure>New York Sirens Sirens is "an ode to New York City's one-of-a-kind energy, pace, and rhythm," the league said. "The fact that (all New York women's teams are) repping a different version of teal is pretty cool," captain Micah Zandee-Hart said. "Obviously, in women's sports, we're all one right now. ... It's cool to feel like we're tied into some of the other teams in a way, and I'm sure fans feel the same." What I'm liking: The teal is superb. It's an obvious choice for New York and matches the WNBA's Liberty and NWSL's Gotham FC. The "NY" letterform not only resembles city architecture but brings the logo together to resemble a goal horn. Even if the logo feels more basketball than hockey, it's a strong pick for New York. The "Sirens" name, meanwhile, simply works for the city.What's not working: The "S" soundwaves are a fun idea, but they make the logo busier with no real benefit. You won't lose anything by dropping them and making the logo cleaner, though part of the reason they're there is to represent the busy energy of the city. - Cushman Grade: B <figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744384/cropped_Toronto_Sceptres_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744384/w220xh124_Toronto_Sceptres_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744384/w320xh180_Toronto_Sceptres_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744384/w640xh360_Toronto_Sceptres_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744384/w768xh432_Toronto_Sceptres_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/744384/w1080xh607_Toronto_Sceptres_-_Logo.jpg?ts=1725906816 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> PWHL</figcaption></figure>Toronto Sceptres The Sceptres' logo is a monogram that intertwines the "T" and "S" of the city and team name. "There's a lot of tie-ins to the city, a lot of tie-ins to our team identity and how we want to perform on the ice," captain Blayre Turnbull said. "Overall, I think it's a very fitting name and one that our city will embrace." What I'm liking: The Toronto blue was a hit last season and is complemented well by the yellow logo. The primary blue ties into the classic Toronto palette while presenting a different flair with the added yellow. The name itself - Sceptres - is a unique choice that will grow on the fan base over time. Players are already embracing the moniker on social media, and "Sceptres" makes for potential post-game fun.What's not working: The logo's resemblance to one used by <a href="https://x.com/sarahjenkinsxo/status/1833154714352996752">Taylor Swift</a> in a music video speaks to the high-school vibes that the Sceptres' emblem gives off. The league didn't want to use established names, which made royalty options like Reign, Royals, and even Monarchs no-gos. Sceptres comes across as an available name chosen to fit a specific theme, and, as a result, lands a little flat. - Cushman Grade: C+

Broberg inked a two-year contract with a $4.58-million average annual value, while Holloway signed a two-year pact at a $2.29-million cap hit.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Broberg, 23, primarily played in the AHL last season. The 6-foot-4 defenseman registered 38 points in 49 games with the Bakersfield Condors. He played 12 regular-season contests with the Oilers and broke into Edmonton's lineup in the postseason, recording two goals and three points in 10 playoff games. Broberg was drafted eighth overall by the Oilers in 2019.Holloway, 22, scored six goals and nine points in 38 NHL games last season, plus 10 goals and 16 points in 18 AHL contests. He registered five goals and seven points in the playoffs as he played in all 25 of Edmonton's postseason games. The University of Wisconsin product was drafted 14th overall by the Oilers in 2020."The way it's being portrayed is also a little bit unfair, that the Oilers were doing some sort of poor-faith negotiating," Bowman said. "If you look at (Broberg and Holloway), based on their performance, there's lots of comparable players that have signed this summer and (in) recent years."Bowman, who matched an attempted offer sheet to Niklas Hjalmarsson while with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010, admitted the mechanism could be utilized more regularly by NHL general managers."It doesn't happen more often," Bowman said. "I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I guess you could make the argument this should happen more."

He captained the Flames from 2013-2021.

His agent noted Buffalo is worried Giordano may not be happy playing a minimal role on the ice.Giordano has accumulated 577 points in 1,148 career contests with the Flames, Seattle Kraken, and Maple Leafs. He's only played 41 total playoff games over 18 seasons and hasn't advanced past the second round.
