The Detroit Red Wings are getting closer to completing one of their last three big pieces of offseason business: re-signing star forward Lucas Raymond. As of Friday, all of Raymond, fellow forward Jonatan Berggren and star defenseman Moritz Seider remain without new contracts, and the clock is ticking before Detroit’s training camp opens on September […]

The Calgary Flames made some interesting moves in NHL Free Agency. Calgary also continued its trend of trading veteran players for future assets. For instance, the Flames traded Jacob Markstrom to the New Jersey Devils this offseason. However, they may not stop there. And Nazem Kadri could be the next veteran out of town. The […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs have reportedly expressed interest in veteran forward Max Pacioretty. However, they are certainly not alone in their pursuit of the former Montreal Canadiens captain. In fact, they aren’t even the only Atlantic Division team eyeing Pacioretty before training camp. It appears as if the Detroit Red Wings are also entering the […]

The 2024 NHL offseason is still very much a work in progress, and rumors are in constant dispersal. Yet today news broke about a potential deal for the upcoming season’s trade deadline. The Calgary Flames are trying to build another playoff team, so more moves are likely to come from the front office. One such […]

With the 2024 NHL season drawing closer, free agency has been fast and furious since the beginning of July. Several stars have changed teams, while some have also stayed put. Restricted free agents are often a source of major intrigue, and reports breaking on Thursday that multiple teams are pursuing a young, exciting center. Some […]

The Boston Bruins have made plenty of moves this offseason, but they still need to take care of one important piece of business ahead, re-signing star goaltender and restricted free agent, Jeremy Swayman. Earlier this offseason, the Bruins made a major move by trading Linus Ullmark, one half of their elite goaltending duo, to the […]

Patrik Laine was traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Montreal Canadiens a little over a week ago, but that might not have been the ideal landing spot for Jackets general manager Don Waddell. The new executive made it clear throughout the offseason that trying to trade Laine’s hefty $8.7 million AAV was no […]

The New Jersey Devils have made some excellent moves this summer as the franchise looks to improve on a disappointing 2023-24 campaign — but there’s still one more piece of business to get done. Dawson Mercer, who was selected No. 18 overall in the 2020 NHL Draft and projects to be a key piece of […]

Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving is looking for additional depth at left wing. After signing Chris Tanev and Oliver Ekman-Larsson for help on defense, Treliving is looking to replace Tyler Bertuzzi, who Toronto lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in free agency, according to Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman. “I think there are things percolating out […]

A contract extension was thought to be a foregone conclusion for Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. While Sid is no longer a kid, he has remained one of the NHL’s best and most popular players despite entering his late 30s. But there’s now a greater possibility than ever that Crosby will not finish his […]

The Edmonton Oilers are coming off a deep run in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. After advancing to the Finals, the Oilers have had some tough decisions to make amid rumors that are putting pressure on the front office. Edmonton faces the dilemma of matching contract offer sheets to Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. The […]

The Boston Bruins know that Jeremy Swayman will be their goaltender for the foreseeable future. They traded Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators, leaving Swayman as the lone option in the net. Swayman is currently a restricted free agent and needs a contract before the season begins. Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman reported on Wednesday that […]

The St. Louis Blues made some noise in an otherwise quiet period in the NHL. After a trade with the Penguins, the Blues extended offer sheets to Edmonton Oilers restricted free agents Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. The two players signed two-year contracts with St. Louis. Broberg signed for around $4.5 million a season while […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins are keeping Sidney Crosby contract talks close to the vest. Crosby became eligible for a new contract back on July 1, and the two sides reportedly came close to a new contract. However, the negotiation process between Pittsburgh and Crosby is starting to have effects on the roster. One player affected by […]

The Anaheim Ducks are coming off another brutal season in 2023-24. They finished with the third-worst record in the Western Conference and extended their playoff drought to a franchise-record six seasons. Now, reports are surfacing that their star forward Trevor Zegras could be on the move. NHL Network’s Stu Grimson said that there is a […]

The Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup title in 2024. The triumph completed a very long rebuild that started with picking Aaron Ekblad first overall in 2014. The Panthers’ defenseman was outdone by Gustav Forsling and Brandon Montour in the playoffs and is headed to free agency in the 2025 offseason. While he is […]

The Columbus Blue Jackets hoped to be further along in their rebuild by now, but injuries helped ensure that they would be paying rent in the Eastern Conference cellar for the second consecutive year. They now move ahead with another new head coach in Dean Evason, who guided the Minnesota Wild to their first 50-win […]

Despite a resurgent 2023-24 campaign — or perhaps because of it — Nikolaj Ehlers is reportedly unwilling to sign a contract extension with the Winnipeg Jets when the seven-year, $42 million pact he inked back in October of 2017 expires. Ehlers has played his entire career in Manitoba, being selected No. 9 overall in the […]

Sidney Crosby has been the heart and soul of the Pittsburgh Penguins since being selected No. 1 overall by the organization back in the 2005 NHL Draft. And that doesn’t look to be changing any time soon. Crosby and the Penguins are “closing in on a new contract” that would likely keep the captain in […]

With free agency looming in the NHL, veteran Patrick Kane is still in play to return to the Detroit Red Wings, but if he hits the open market on Monday, the Montreal Canadiens are one of the teams preparing to make a pitch to him, according to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff. “While it’s believed […]

A few big trades went down at the 2024 NHL Draft on Saturday. One trade many fans were expecting involved the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings. Reports indicated that New York and Detroit were close to a trade involving Rangers captain Jacob Trouba. However, the draft concluded on Saturday afternoon without a deal […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for ways to improve their team after a first-round Stanley Cup Playoff exit. Toronto commands attention in several NHL free agency rumors, but notable buzz surrounds Vancouver Canucks defenseman Nikita Zadorov. Will Zadorov land in Torontp? The Canucks made it known on Friday that Zadorov would not be resigning […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning were never really considered in the running for Jake Guentzel’s services — general manager Julien BriseBois has his hands full with potential Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos extensions, after all. But that could have all changed after the organization offloaded Mikhail Sergachev and Tanner Jeannot to a pair of Pacific Division […]

Elias Lindholm was linked to the Boston Bruins long before he was traded from the Calgary Flames to the Vancouver Canucks during the 2023-24 season, and with the Swede unlikely to re-up in British Columbia, it makes sense that Don Sweeney and the B’s front office would rekindle talks with his camp. And that’s exactly […]

Nazem Kadri was on top of the world when he won his first Stanley Cup championship with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022. But it’s been tough sledding since after the Canadian signed a massive seven-year contract with the Calgary Flames in October of the same year. The Flames have failed to qualify for the postseason […]

Although mere weeks ago it looked like the Carolina Hurricanes were ready to offer Jake Guentzel’s signing rights for a mid-round draft pick, it now looks like the two sides might be able to come to a long-term solution that will keep the star forward in Raleigh for the foreseeable future. “There seems to be […]

The New York Rangers reportedly are considering a lot of trade possibilities this offseason as Chris Drury tries to be aggressive to get the team over the hump to win its first championship since 1994, and one of those players who could get traded is captain Jacob Trouba, who was asked to submit his 15-team […]

The Detroit Red Wings have been active so far this offseason. However, the biggest question around them heading into NHL Free Agency remains unanswered. Future Hall of Famer Patrick Kane looks likely to hit the open market when it opens on July 1. His future in Detroit is up in the air, but if he […]

Immediately after the Toronto Maple Leafs suffered another early elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a first-round series loss at the hands of the Boston Bruins last May, questions about the future of Mitch Marner with the team started to become among the main topics concerning the franchise. Over a month later since that […]

Carolina Hurricanes restricted free agent Martin Necas is one of the hottest names this offseason as he reportedly wants a change of scenery, but time is ticking for general manager Eric Tulsky to net a first-round pick in this year’s draft, which starts on Friday. The Hurricanes have received a lot of interest, with the […]

Goalies are always a hot commodity in the NHL and the early portion of this offseason has seen a flurry of netminder trades. The deal that sent Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames to the New Jersey Devils earned plenty of headlines. The Toronto Maple Leafs also heavily pursued the veteran goaltender, ultimately falling short […]

Jake DeBrusk is one of the most pressing question marks facing the Boston Bruins’ front office this summer. Set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 — less than a week from now — there’s a real chance the Canadian forward walks away if he isn’t offered a suitable contract extension. There have […]

Trevor Zegras trade rumors will run rampant all summer long. The Anaheim Ducks star had a rough 2023-24 season, and Zegras struggled with injury. And after Anaheim’s trade for Cutter Gauthier earlier in the year, there is room for the 23-year-old to be moved. Many teams are taking note of the situation, including the New […]

The Chicago Blackhawks were one of the NHL’s worst clubs in 2023-24, finishing second to last and looking out of playoff contention before the calendar flipped to January. But the future is undoubtedly bright in the Windy City, mainly due to 2023 No. 1-overall pick Connor Bedard. The North Vancouver native was electric in his […]

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. Before that (besides another minor draft pick swap), there hadn’t been a trade between the two franchises involving an actual player since June of […]

Although all eyes in the hockey world will be trained on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in South Florida on Monday night, business continues for the 30 franchises not named the Florida Panthers or Edmonton Oilers. And it’s a busy week in the National Hockey League; a champion will be crowned on Monday, […]

Linus Ullmark trade rumors are nothing new. Ullmark was nearly traded to the Los Angeles Kings around the NHL Trade Deadline, according to various reports. This offseason, the Ottawa Senators have intensified their chase of the veteran Boston Bruins goaltender. However, they have reportedly been joined by two new teams. Postmedia reporter Bruce Garrioch wrote […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue trying to build a roster that can have consistent playoff success, something that has eluded the franchise over the past two decades. And in the quest to again capture an ever-elusive Stanley Cup, general manager Brad Treliving is reportedly looking to add size to the blue line ahead of the […]

Jeff Skinner has been a key piece of the Buffalo Sabres’ offensive core since signing an eight-year, $72 million contract extension with the franchise back in 2019. But after a disappointing 2023-24 campaign that saw the 32-year-old regress to just 46 points in 74 games, the front office could be exploring buying out the final […]
