The Edmonton Oilers ' search for a right-shot center has led them to check in on a name few expected. Elliotte Friedman revealed on Monday's 32 Thoughts podcast that Edmonton has looked into Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright, in addition to the previously reported interest in Montreal's Kirby Dach.
"I wondered about Shane Wright for Edmonton, and I think they poked around, but I don't believe that's going to happen," Friedman said.

Kirill Marchenko and Matthew Knies were the subject of trade rumors for most of the summer.
A day before the season opener, minutes before the 5 PM deadline, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets engineered a genuine franchise-altering trade. Toronto acquired Kirill Marchenko, Miles Wood and Elvis Merzlikins in exchange for Matthew Knies, Steven Lorentz, Emil Andrae and the Seattle Kraken’s 2027 2nd-round pick, via Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. Upon…

It was a quiet off-season for the National Hockey League’s most mediocre team, the Seattle Kraken. After finishing the 2025-26 season with just 79 points, well out of the playoff picture, the Kraken went and basically did nothing. It looks like the Kraken will once again be on the outside looking in, basically the status…

VANCOUVER – Three hours and 58 minutes into their pre-season schedule, the Vancouver Canucks took their first lead on Saturday. Two minutes later, they had their first win – and the pre-season was over. The National Hockey League’s 84-game regular season has been described as a marathon. But the new pre-season is an absolute sprint. In a span of 10 days, from the opening of training camp in Penticton until Saturday’s 4-3 win against the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Arena, rookie Canucks coach Mann...
Not able to muster late magic as they did the night before, the Seattle
Kraken finished the preseason 3-1, falling to the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on
Saturday night at Rogers Arena.
Overall, Lane Lambert’s group looked solid, jumping out to an early
two-goal lead. But a Ryan Winterton penalty gave the Canucks a late power
play, which they capitalized on.
Mackie Samoskevich, who took a big hit on Thursday night, missed the game
with a day-to-day upper-body injury. With players moving up the...

The Vancouver Canucks (0-3) close out their four-game exhibition schedule this afternoon when they face the Seattle Kraken (3-0) at Rogers Arena. The game begins at 4 pm PT. It’s the last chance for evaluation, as all NHL teams must submit their 23-man season opening rosters on Monday. What we know With the early…
Samoskevich is entering his first year in Seattle after being acquired from Florida in June.
The real thing is just right around the corner. For now, we have to watch one more pre-season game, but by this time next week, the Calgary Flames will be playing regular season hockey. The team is expected to be near the bottom of the league in a rebuilding year, but it also means that…
Kirill Marchenko's list of suitors keeps growing, and Vegas is the newest name attached to it. Elliotte Friedman connected the Golden Knights to the Columbus Blue Jackets winger during Friday's episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast. Friedman grouped Vegas alongside the Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders, Seattle Kraken, and Winnipeg Jets as teams that have shown interest or checked in on Marchenko this offseason.

The Calgary Flames have agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with forward Alex Nylander, the club announced Friday afternoon. Per the club release, the contract carries an NHL cap hit of $850,000. Nylander, 28, had been attending the Flames’ 2026 training camp on a professional tryout opportunity (PTO).

It’s preseason for the NHL’s Department of Player Safety, too, but Thursday’s game between the Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames gave them a chance to shake off some rust. During a 4-3 shootout win for the Kraken, Seattle defenseman Ville Ottavainen took a hit from Flames forward Brennan Othmann in the corner. Ottavainen proceeded to grab Othmann around the head, fling him to the ice, and deliver multiple punches while Othmann curled into a protective posture. Naturally, several other players ...
Only a week after camp opened, the Seattle Kraken are already closing in on
the end of their brief preseason slate. They completed two games last
weekend, winning both of the matchups against the Canucks and Flames,
before defeating Calgary again 4-3 on Thursday night at Climate Pledge
Arena.
What have we learned about Lane Lambert’s squad in year two so far? Who has
made the biggest impression? Let’s discuss three takeaways after a week of
camp and three preseason contests:

Ottavainen was fined $2,190.72 for his role in Thursday’s altercation with Calgary Flames forward Brennan Othmann.
For any professional sports league, growth is crucial. The NHL has shown that they know this by adding the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017-18 and the Seattle Kraken for the…
The Calgary Flames hit the ice for the third time in this exhibition season on Thursday night, trekking to the Emerald City to visit the Seattle Kraken. The Kraken dressed their opening night NHL roster, more or less. The Flames had far more prospective members of the Calgary Wranglers than NHLers. And yet, it was…
