Devils Invite 29-Year-Old Son Of NHL Legend To Training Camp

The New Jersey Devils are set on icing the best lineup they can in the league with new general manager Sunny Mehta. Or are they?

Zach Werenski Expects Trade Rumors To Heat Up Again

Zach Werenski's trade saga went quiet in July.  The reasons it started in the first place never actually disappeared. The Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman vetoed a deal to the Dallas Stars on June 30, using his full no-movement clause to reject a trade both teams had already verbally agreed to, one that would have sent Thomas Harley back to Columbus.  Within days, both Werenski and GM Don Waddell issued statements affirming their commitment to each other, and Werenski has stuck to th...

McDavid, Caufield Speak Out On American Players Leaving Canadian Markets

Four American-born stars have asked their way out of Canadian markets over the past year.  This week, two of the league's most prominent names, one Canadian, one American, addressed the trend, and neither is convinced it's as simple as it looks. Connor McDavid fielded the question during the NHL's Player Media Tour in Las Vegas. "I don't know if it's Americans wanting to leave Canada or if it's simply just they don't see the opportunity to win on that specific team," McDavid said, declini...

Ex-Winnipeg Jets Forward Gustav Nyquist Linked To Former NHL Team

We're now one week away from training camp starting in the NHL, and numerous free agents remain without a contract .  One of those is former Winnipeg Jets forward Gustav Nyquist. Nyquist is a Swedish-born forward who was traded to the Minnesota Wild by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 202-23. From there, the former 50-point player would experience what it was like to be a journeyman in the NHL.  He'd sign a two-year deal with the Nashville Predators, where he'd suit up for 138 games, sco...

Report: 2 Teams Linked To Trading For Blue Jackets' Kirill Marchenko

The Columbus Blue Jackets have had forward Kirill Marchenko on the trade market all offseason, and according to multiple reports, talks have advanced with a couple of teams.

New Team Linked To Nikishin, But Signing Him Just Became More Difficult

Alexander Nikishin remains one of the top remaining restricted free agents, and his future with the Stanley Cup champions continues to be in doubt.  Coming off a very solid rookie season, the Russian defender is looking for a huge extension coming off his entry-level deal, and his price tag has just gone up yet again.  Earlier in the summer, he suggested that he was looking for something north of an $8M AAV on a new deal.

Winnipeg Jets' Captain: 'Hellebuyck trade talks not worth our time'

Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry isn't ready to let Connor Hellebuyck's trade talks get in the way of his team getting off to a strong start.

The situation is...

Toronto Maple Leafs' Max Domi to miss start of season

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be starting next season without one of their versatile middle-six forwards. According to Leafs Morning Take co-host Nick Alberga, Domi is still recovering from offseason back surgery, and won't be ready for training camp next season, and is very likely going to miss some time to start the 2026-27 season. Sounds like Max Domi, who’s recovering from off-season surgery, is expected to miss training camp & the start of the season. Still lots of uncertainty. @LMTake_ | ...

Report: Carolina Hurricanes shopping Jesperi Kotkaniemi on trade market

The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly involved in several trade discussions heading into training camps next week, and one player they've been trying to move all summer long - Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

3 Teams Linked To Signing Free Agent Chris Kreider

Chris Kreider wants to head back east, and he was willing to have his contract terminated by the Anaheim Ducks to do so. In a bizarre move on Wednesday, it was announced that the Ducks and Kreider were heading for a divorce, as the power forward ended up walking away from $4 million. This was something that the Ducks were very open to, as they've been trying to lock up restricted free-agent forward Cutter Gauthier, and now have the resources to do so under the salary cap. The Ducks and Chris K...

Dylan Larkin's Trade List Leaves Out Team That Wants Him Badly

The Montreal Canadiens check almost every box for a Dylan Larkin trade. They still aren't on his list. Per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press , Larkin's approved trade destinations remain limited to the Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, and Vegas Golden Knights, with the Dallas Stars later added as a fourth option.  Montreal, despite a glaring need at second-line center and the assets to make a big offer, has not been included. Montreal Seemed Like Such A Natural Fit The Canadiens...

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier Nearing Eye-Popping Deal

Cutter Gauthier already said no to one significant offer from the Anaheim Ducks.  Insiders now believe the number it actually takes to get him signed is even bigger. Gauthier already turned down a four-year extension worth $13 million annually, a $52 million offer in total. The Number Is Complicated For Anaheim Sportsnet's Chris Johnston spoke on the situation, predicting the eventual deal will be "pretty eye popping" and that he'd expect it to get finalized before September 15, the deadl...

Insider Surprised Red Wings Haven't Talked To This GM Candidate

The Detroit Red Wings ' general manager search just lost a candidate, and one of the league's most connected insiders thinks the team is overlooking an obvious replacement. Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic raised the name in his latest rumblings column. "I'm surprised the Red Wings haven't interviewed Ryan Martin yet," LeBrun wrote, before adding that Martin "would seem like a logical candidate to at least speak with. Perhaps that will happen now?" Why LeBrun Raised It Now Detroit Tigers GM J...

Is Chris Kreider Signing With The Boston Bruins Realistic?

The Anaheim Ducks made the surprise move to terminate veteran forward Chris Kreider's contract today. It was a mutual decision, which leaves Kreider a chance to return to the Eastern Conference after spending a year out in Orange County, joining Jacob Trouba out west.  His year as a Duck wasn't insignificant, as he got to experience a trip to the playoffs as he battled against the Edmonton Oilers, in what was an easy first-round win for the battle-hardened Oilers, who were Stanley Cup con...
