One trade has been made with plenty more to come, as the Maple Leafs keep trudging through their deadline-week schedule tonight in the Big Apple. Bobby McMann, OEL, and Scott Laughton will remain on the sidelines for “roster management” reasons, while Jacob Quillan steps in at center ice for the departed Nic Roy (7:00 p.m. […]

The St. Louis Blues are open for business, and even though Colton Parayko nixed a trade to the Buffalo Sabres, don't think for a second general manager Doug Armstrong is anywhere near finished. The Blues are in advanced trade talks on several of their core players, including Parayko, Jordan Binnington, Robert Thomas, Pius Suter, and Justin Faulk. It's full sell mode for Armstrong and company as the Blues are looking to change over their core, and start an accelerated rebuild. Parayko leveraged...
Colton Parayko made his decision earlier today. After the St. Louis Blues agreed on a trade to send him to the Buffalo Sabres late Wednesday, the 6-foot-6 defenseman decided to invoke his no-trade clause and blocked the deal . But that doesn't mean he won't agree to be dealt to a destination of his choosing. Parayko, 32, has spent his entire 11-year NHL career in St. Louis, and he'd prefer to stay. But with the team attempting a major sell-off, he could be asked to waive his NTC once aga...
The NHL's trade market is as hot as ever as this busy Thursday included the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks doing some business together. The Sharks acquired defenceman Jett Woo from the Canucks in exchange for defenceman Jack Thompson. Woo, 25, has collected eight points in 26 games this season with the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League. He's been used mostly in a depth role and has also logged 78 penalty minutes this season. 🔁 The #SJSharks have acquired defenseman Jett ...
The Nashville Predators continue their fire sale as the team has now dealt pesky forward Michael Bunting to the Dallas Stars. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman was the first to report the deal. 3rd rounder going back, I believe — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 5, 2026 Bunting, 30, is in the final season of his current contract, earning $4.5 million AAV, and doesn't hold any trade protection. He'll join a Stars team looking to compete for a Stanley Cup this season, and bring some versatilit...

The Ottawa Senators have added some potential scoring punch, acquiring two-time 20-goal scorer Warren Foegele from the Los Angeles Kings. The Los Angeles Kings are trading Warren Foegele to the Ottawa Senators, per @DarrenDreger . pic.twitter.com/DHoUg4sPuz — PuckEmpire (@puckempire) March 5, 2026 The Kings receive a second-round pick in return.

It’s the last game before the trade deadline! Everyone remain calm, or freak out, if you’d rather do that. I’m not your boss. The Bruins and Predators face off in a game with playoff implications for both teams (though you could say that about pretty much every game from here on out, I guess). The […]
Texas Rangers lineup for March 5, 2026 against the Kansas City Royals. We have the Battle of Surprise today, with the Rangers and Royals facing off. MacKenzie Gore is pitching for the Rangers. The lineup: Haggerty — LF Langford — CF Seager — SS Burger — 1B Higashioka — C Smith — 2B Bride — […]
We need to get back on track!
The top-ranked Wisconsin Badgers will square off against the Minnesota State Mavericks to get the party started in St. Paul with the first game of the 2026 Kwik Trip WCHA Final Faceoff. Wisconsin advanced following a two-game sweep of Bemidji State in the first round, while the Mavericks upset No. 9 Minnesota Duluth after dropping […]
Chicago was back on the practice ice on Thursday ahead of Friday’s home game against Vancouver, with some lineup shuffles occurring after a couple of trades this week.
Those shuffles were also required due to the apparent return of Wyatt Kaiser, who was injured just before the Olympic break and hadn’t played since Chicago returned to game action last week. But he was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, skating opposite Sam Rinzel. The forwards were also moved around now that neithe...
The Edmonton Oilers are looking to have a quiet trade deadline day on Friday. General manager Stan Bowman said during a media conference Thursday afternoon that the Oilers will most likely not make any more trades. “We’re going to spend the next 24 hours talking through [it]. I would imagine that we’re done, but I…
While defensemen and centers have been front and, uh, center so far during trade deadline week, don't overlook the possibility of a notable goalie trade. There are a few contending teams who could stand to get an upgrade between the pipes, even if just for a backup. You never know what can happen in the playoffs. Let's go through this list compiled by Jesse Granger of The Athletic of six notable goaltenders who could be had for the right price. Sergei Bobrovsky Jordan B...
The Florida Panthers have entered the seller's market as we approach the trade deadline, sending veteran defenseman Jeff Petry to the Minnesota Wild for a conditional 7th-round pick.

Here we are at the home stretch just 24 hours to go before the March 6th NHL trade deadline at 1 p.m. MT. It’s been a quick turn around since the Olympic break but the league remained fairly quiet until late this week as the deadline is fast approaching. Will the tight standings and new […]
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
The Philadelphia Flyers look to be making some kind of move to their personnel between now and the trade deadline Friday afternoon. Signing an AHL veteran is the tell.
The team is about to sign Lehigh Valley Phantoms veteran Garrett Wilson to a National Hockey League contract. Wilson was placed on waivers Thursday by the Flyers. If he clears (and it’s almost a certainty that he will), then the forward will be signed by the Flyers on Friday. Before the club made an official announcement, S...
Due to another hectic day at work today, this preview will be briefer than normal….as well as being posted much later. The Winnipeg Jets have gone to overtime in 5 of their last 6 contests, pulling out a 3-2 win on Tuesday over the Chicago Blackhawks to pull within 9 points of the Seattle Kraken & the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. The Kraken had a chance to extend that last night against the St. Louis Blues, but a 3-2 loss has kept the deficit the same.

A new unrestricted free agent will be available as of 2pm ET on Friday, as the St. Louis Blues have placed Mathieu Joseph on waivers for the second time in a week, this time for the purposes of terminating his contract. Hearing Mathieu Joseph (STL) -- who cleared waivers last week -- is heading back on today for the purposes of contract termination. If he clears again, he becomes a UFA and, as long as he signs before 3pm (ET) Friday, would be eligible for the playoffs. — Elliotte ...
Unsurprisingly, the Calgary Flames are bad once again. Last season, they nearly squeaked into a playoff spot, finishing tied with the St. Louis Blues on points (96), but ultimately finishing outside a postseason berth due to the tiebreaker of regulation wins. Whatever magic they had in 2024-25 is now gone, as the team has bottomed…
Latest on the veteran defenceman.
The Maple Leafs’ 2026 trade deadline has officially kicked off, as the team has sent Nic Roy to Colorado for a first-round pick in 2027 (top-10 protected) and a fifth-round pick in 2026. Roy, who just turned 29 in February, has one year remaining on his contract at a reasonable $3 million. He played 59 […]

You are not overthinking it. There is no mystery angle to the latest Minnesota Wild transaction. Trading a 2028 second-round pick for a “big” checking forward in Michael McCarron is not good asset management.
