NHL Trade Rumors: Kings Make Trade Offer for Dylan Larkin
Dylan Larkin will be on the move this summer, and if the Los Angeles Kings had it their way, he'll become the perfect replacement for Anze Kopitar. Larkin's fed up with Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings management group, and has decided to ask out. Early on, teams were announced as preferred destinations, and they include the Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Florida Panthers, and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Kings are on the 'second tier' list of teams that could convince Larkin to open up his ...
Surprising Team On Darnell Nurse's List Of Preferred Trade Destinations
Darnell Nurse has played his final game in an Edmonton Oilers uniform. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek reported Thursday that Nurse has officially requested a trade, and Stan Bowman has essentially told the veteran defenseman the organization plans to move him this summer. What followed was one of the more surprising developments of the early offseason for Philadelphia fans. Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that league sources confirmed not only mut...
NHL Rumors: Metropolitan Division Team Linked To Jordan Kyrou Trade
The New York Islanders spent the weeks leading up to the March 6 trade deadline pursuing Jordan Kyrou, and the talks collapsed at the exact moment they got serious. Per Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News , St. Louis insisted on defensive prospect Kashawn Aitcheson, the 17th overall pick from the 2025 draft, as the centerpiece of any deal. The Islanders backed out immediately. Now, the conversation is widely expected to resume this summer with New York and the Blues both in different positi...
4 Realistic Buyout Candidates As Window Approaches
The Stanley Cup presentation marks not only the end of the 2025-26 season, but it also triggers the countdown to the buyout window, a period of approximately two weeks when teams can look to eat bad contracts and free up a roster spot and some cap space. 48 hours after the Cup is presented, the window opens. There are plenty of 'bad contracts' around the league, but Michael Amato of Sportsnet has listed four who are realistic buyout candidates: Brendan Gallagher, Montreal Can adien...
NHLTR Mock Trade: Proposed Blockbuster Sends Jason Robertson to Penguins
The Dallas Stars are crunched for cap space. And the biggest casualty, despite the team making him their No. 1 priority this offseason, could be Jason Robertson. The three-time 40-goal scorer is a restricted free agent, and he is reportedly seeking a new contract that will be at least on par with his teammate Mikko Rantanen's $12M AAV salary. And potentially significantly higher. With only about $10M in projected cap space right now for next season's roster, the Stars can't fit in an ext...
Insider Reveals Nico Hischier's Future
With one year remaining on top-line center Nico Hischier's contract, the New Jersey Devils have a big decision to make this summer. Come July 1, he will be eligible for an extension. The decision? Will they be willing to meet his massive price, or would they actually go the trade route? Insider Kevin Weekes has revealed that he expects Hischier & the Devils to find common ground on a 'medium-term' extension. But wait till you hear the numbers he throws around: đź‘€ Although talks are ...
Vegas Coach John Tortorella Makes Bold Claim
It wasn't exactly a Mark Messier moment, but Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella did his best impersonation, making a bold claim as his team heads home for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final down 3 games to 2. They will need to pull off a win at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night to extend the series to a 7th game in Carolina. And it sounds like Torts is pretty certain that's going to happen. John Tortorella says "we'll be back here" -- seemingly guaran...
NHL Rumors: Surprising New Coaching Candidate Linked To Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers ' coaching search has become one of the more complicated organizational situations in recent NHL memory, and Frank Seravalli introduced a new name that very few people were expecting. Speaking on Frankly Hockey , Seravalli said the Oilers may need to think outside the box depending on how the Mike Babcock situation resolves. "If not Bruce Cassidy, if not Mike Babcock, Laviolette is already gone," Seravalli said. "Prepare yourself for the possibility of Darryl Sutter. I'...
NHL Rumors: Senators & Canucks Linked To Trade
Two league sources confirmed to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun that the Ottawa Senators are among a group of teams that have shown interest in acquiring Vancouver Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk.

Sabres Trade Rumors: Alex Tuch Situation Could Force Trade Of Buffalo Blueliner
The Alex Tuch situation continues to drag on for the Buffalo Sabres, and it's starting to look more and more like he's going to the open market July 1. David Pagnotta and Irfan Gaffar spoke about the pending UFA's situation on DFO Rundown on Thursday, and Pagnotta said that "As of now, he's going to free agency... Unless there is a shift & change from Buffalo's perspective." Indeed, the two sides are not even close. "If this were close, it would be done," added Pagnotta. The inside...
NHLTR Mock Trade: Canadiens Deal Brendan Gallagher for Canucks' Chytil
On June 1st, it was reported that Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher named the Vancouver Canucks as one of his preferred destinations if he becomes a trade piece. The day was somber for the long-time Habs player who has played all 14 seasons of his career in Montreal. While it was his " choice" to leave the team, Gallagher addressed his future in the NHL with reporters. It sounded like there were outside forces applying pressure on the veteran to exit the organization. “It is ...
4 Potential Trade Destinations for Flyers' Owen Tippett
The Philadelphia Flyers have put Owen Tippett on the trade market. Tippett, 27, is signed through the 2032 season at $6.2 million AAV, and with the arrival of Porter Martone, Tippett's been pushed down the depth chart, and the Flyers could be looking to cash in on his strong season. The 27-year-old winger scored 28 goals and 51 points in 81 games last season, and owns a 10-team no-trade clause, so he'll have some say in the matter. Daily Faceoff's Matt Larkin recently had Tippett on his summer...
Report: Hurricanes Tried To Acquire Sergei Bobrovsky At Trade Deadline
The Carolina Hurricanes are two wins away from a Stanley Cup. They've gotten some terrific performances between the pipes in these playoffs from Frederik Andersen (at least through the first three rounds), and now Brandon Bussi for the last game-and-a-half in the Final. But the Canes' goaltending situation could have been a whole lot different if they had been able to convince the Florida Panthers to deal them pending unrestricted free agent Sergei Bobrovsky. Insider Pierre LeBrun ...

NHL Trade Rumors: Sharks Make Trade Offers for Oilers' Darnell Nurse
The Edmonton Oilers' blueline will look a little different next season, as veteran Darnell Nurse has requested a trade.

GM Mike Grier is looking to fill out his defense core, as the Sharks only have two defencemen signed to NHL contracts for next season. Nurse fits the bill as a potential target, and also helps that S...
Zach Werenski To Request Trade From Blue Jackets?
There has been some buzz around the league that, following Dylan Larkin's trade request, Columbus Blue Jackets Norris Trophy winner Zach Werenski could be considering doing the same. But insider Pierre LeBrun threw some cold water on that rumor... Kind of. I can tell you as of Wednesday afternoon, I’m told there has not been any communication to the Columbus Blue Jackets indicating that kind of thing on Werenski, who has two more years on his deal. But while he insisted that Werens...

Senators To Have Active Offseason; 1 Trade Target Revealed
Steve Staios was in Buffalo last week for the NHL Draft Combine, and per Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun , he was busy meeting with league executives and player agents to see what might be available via trade or free agency.

Staios is not rolling back to training camp with the same group. The slim free agent market is pu...
NHL Rumors: Connor Hellebuyck Eyeing Trade To Panthers?
Connor Hellebuyck did not hide his frustration after the Winnipeg Jets missed the playoffs. At his end-of-season media availability, he called the team's performance unacceptable, shouldered his share of the blame, but made clear that things had to change if Winnipeg was going to become a Stanley Cup contender. Those comments were pointed enough that David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported increasing chatter around the league regarding Hellebuyck's availability, noting that teams beli...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs Rejecting Matthew Knies Trade Offers
The Toronto Maple Leafs are supposed to be making a slew of roster moves this summer, as the first offseason for John Chayka and Mats Sundin will be an extremely important one.

While there's a number of players who are expected to get traded, including one of their four goaltenders, Morgan Rielly, Brandon Carlo, Nick Robertson, and Matias Maccelli, you can scratch off Matthew Knies' name from the list.

NHL Free Agency: Bobby McMann Linked to Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, but the fact of the matter is, not only will their coaching staff look different next season, so will their roster. General manager Stan Bowman's leash isn't super long, so it will be important for the Oilers exec to hit some home runs this summer, including on the free-agent market, which opens July 1. The Oilers will try to make a move or two to free up some cap space, and expect to see them land a couple of win...

New Allegation Emerging Against Babcock, As Oilers Hire Still On Hold
The Edmonton Oilers/Mike Babcock Saga is taking a new turn, according to insider Frank Seravalli. He claims that sources have told him that the NHLPA and the NHL are in receipt of "significant" additional claims against Babcock from his tumultuous Columbus Blue Jackets two-month tenure in 2023.

Kyle Dubas held a nearly 40-minute end-of-season press conference and by the time it was over, the team's next steps seemed pretty clear.
