[edit] Regular season
After sitting out for one season due to financial difficulties, the Ottawa Senators rejoined the NHL. The newly renamed Detroit Red Wings, now owned by James Norris when the merger between the Chicago Shamrocks of the AHL and the NHL's Detroit Falcons succeeded and Boston Bruins tied for the best overall record with 58 points apiece, but it was Boston that was awarded first overall due to a better head-to-head record. Ottawa started the season up in second place in the Canadian Division near the .500 mark at mid season, but collapsed in the second half and finished last. President Ahearn instructed coach Cy Denneny to fine players who displayed indifferent hockey.At the same time, he stated that Hector Kilrea was not for sale. Toronto manager Conn Smythe offered Andy Blair, Ken Doraty, and Baldy Cotton for Kilrea which drew a snort of disdain to Ahearn.
The Montreal Canadiens, surprisingly, under new coach Newsy Lalonde, were in last place, but managed to make the playoffs when they rallied to finished third. Toronto, with its Kid line, finished first for the first time as the Maple Leafs. Led by the great play of Eddie Shore,the Boston Bruins finished first in the American Division.
Although the Montreal Maroons had Flat Walsh, Dave Kerr and Normie Smith for goal, they were very taken by Chuck Gardiner of Chicago. James Strachan offered $10,000 plus one of his goalkeepers, but there was no deal.
Billy Coutu, expelled from the NHL in 1927, was reinstated to the NHL, but never returned.
