Western Team Circling Back On Canadiens' Patrik Laine

It was just one week ago that we learned of a major suitor for Patrik Laine dropping out of talks with the Montreal Canadiens on a possible trade. But things have changed for the Los Angeles Kings since then. And it sounds like they're back in.  Trade talk surrounding #GoHabsGo winger Patrik Laine has picked up a little more, and I’m told the #GoKingsGo are circling back on him. Other teams in the mix, too. We’ll see if Montreal retains 50% of his $8.7M AAV, but expectations remain high t...

Islanders & Canucks in Serious Discussions For Trade

One team that many of us may be sleeping on as we approach Friday's deadline is the New York Islanders . There haven't been a lot of rumors about who they might be chasing. But we do know that  GM Mathieu Darche wants to reward his team for the unexpected playoff-bound season they're having.  According to Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal , we should all be keeping an eye on the Islanders. He says that Conor Garland is on their radar.  Dhaliwal: Keep an eye on the Isles. T...

Pros and cons of Flyers winning games right before trade deadline

They’ve played 60 games and have 22 to go. That’s a possible 44 points available if they were to somehow run the table the last six weeks of the season. That’s probably not happening. However, after losing to Washington 3-1 in their first game after the Olympic break, Philadelphia has managed to beat the Rangers, then eke out victories against the Bruins and, on Monday night, Toronto. That’s six of a possible eight points. It puts them four points out of a wildcard spot heading into Tuesday ni...

Jake DeBrusk Says He's Open To a Trade... In So Many Words

How do you ask for a trade, without asking for one?  When rumors starting floating around last week about Jake DeBrusk being a trade candidate, Vancouver Canucks insiders sniffed around and concluded that DeBrusk had NOT asked for a trade. He apparently wanted to see through whatever rebuild the Canucks were undertaking.  But then he said this in the Vancouver Province on Tuesday, per Ben Kuzma : I think a rebuild is hard for every player, but at the same point it’s a great opportuni...

Gretzky and Kurri. Peas and carrots. Fork and Knife. McDavid and Draisaitl. These are things that go together.

Luke Haymes & Jacob Quillan score big goals in Toronto Marlies’ 5-2 win over Chicago

“We did a much better job of slowing down [Chicago] through the neutral zone. You’re not going to contain them for 60 minutes, but we slowed them down enough to be able to defend with numbers and get pucks stopped. We did a lot of good things.” – John Gruden “As prospects, they continue to […] The post Luke Haymes & Jacob Quillan score big goals in Toronto Marlies’ 5-2 win over Chicago appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

5 prospects Flyers can target in a Rasmus Ristolainen trade

The Philadelphia Flyers are going to at least get involved a couple times this week as Friday’s NHL trade deadline approaches. They don’t have a boatload of players to sell, and aren’t in a position to buy as they try to cement a spot in the playoffs, but they will continue planning for the long-term success of this team and building more and more towards that. One name that could be on the move, as you can tell by just looking at the homepage of Broad Street Hockey dot com, is defenseman...

The Wild Should Steer Clear Of Charlie Coyle

The Minnesota Wild should resist the temptation to reunite with Charlie Coyle, even if he checks a few boxes they are desperate to fill down the middle. Coyle still brings size, versatility, and reliable two-way minutes. However, he’s 34, has a limited offensive ceiling, and timing concerns that don...

These Eyes: Blackhawks at Jets Preview

The Blackhawks will conclude their post-Olympics road trip on Tuesday night in Winnipeg when it takes on the Jets. These two teams met at the United Center in mid-January, with much of the focus that evening on former Hawks captain Jonathan Toews playing in his first game in Chicago as an opponent. The Hawks won that game 2-0 and much of what was discussed regarding Winnipeg in the preview for that game still holds true. The Jets are still 10 points behind a playoff spot and have just 23 ...

Two Top Young Canadiens Players Blues Are Eyeing in a Robert Thomas Trade

The Montreal Canadiens seem to be the team most often cited in rumors surrounding St. Louis Blues ' star center Robert Thomas.  But as insider Pierre LeBrun said on TSN today , "I was told as of last night, the price is still astronomical... As it should be! 26-year-old No. 1 centers on a decent contract don't come around very often. I think St. Louis is well within its rights to ask for the moon for Robert Thomas." It's being said that Blues GM Doug Armstrong is asking for the equivalent...

GM #60: Chicago Blackhawks @ Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets have been chasing the Anaheim Ducks & Seattle Kraken for the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot for quite a while now. Catching one of those franchises was the True Northers’ only hope to qualify for the playoffs, even though there was quite the gap they needed to overcome. But that has recently changed over the past couple weeks of NHL action, as the Ducks have gone on a 5 game winning streak ( 8-2-0 in past 10 ) to move up the Western Conference standings. As a r...
