NHL free agency is just about to start, and two guys who will end up being on the move are Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Vegas Golden Knights, respectively, seem to be moving in different directions, which has opened the door for the Nashville Predators to make some big moves. […]

Steven Stamkos has been the man for the Tampa Bay Lightning since he was an 18-year-old No. 1 pick prior to the 2008-09 season. His time with the Lightning appears to be growing short as he is scheduled to become a free agent July 1. Neither Stamkos nor the team have said any official goodbyes […]

Juuse Saros’ days with the Nashville Predators looked like they might have been numbered heading into this offseason, but both sides appear to be committed to each other for the long haul.

The Carolina Hurricanes and Nashville Predators haven’t been trade partners since back in July of 2021, when the Canes sent two second-round picks to the Preds in exchange for a first-rounder.

The Nashville Predators face a dilemma regarding star goalie Juuse Saros this summer. Saros is a free agent following the 2024-25 NHL season. Nashville could certainly work out a contract with their star netminder. However, they would certainly have a robust market if they entertained trading him. One interested team is likely to be the […]

Brandon Montour became a household name on the Florida Panthers’ run to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final.

Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz isn’t holding back this offseason. He’s openly negotiating contracts with Juuse Saros and considering trade options if necessary. Trotz is also actively seeking impactful forwards for the team’s top three lines. The Predators are currently in a favorable position to contend for a win, but achieving this might require them […]

Sam Reinhart has helped the Florida Panthers advance to their second straight Stanley Cup Final. The veteran forward has been a driving force for the Eastern Conference champions all year long. Ahead of the Final, though, there is a realization that this may be Reinhart’s last season with the Panthers. Reinhart is hitting NHL Free […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a new coach in Craig Berube replacing Sheldon Keefe to try to help the team get over the hump in the postseason after another disappointing first-round exit, and general manager Brad Treliving is expected by many to make significant changes, with Mitch Marner’s name at the center of attention, but […]
