With Boone Jenner On His Way Out, Is Charlie Coyle Blue Jackets Next Captain?
The Columbus Blue Jackets general manager, Don Waddell, thought he did his best to construct a roster that would make it to the Stanley Cup playoffs. But the team fell from contention at the end of the season, forfeiting seven of their last ten games (2-7-1). Head coach Rick Bowness' end-of-season criticism for his players' lack of execution reverberated throughout the media. While Charlie Coyle took the critique with humility . “I love working with Rick,” Coyle said. “Would...
NHLTR Mock Trade: St. Louis Blues deal Jordan Kyrou to Edmonton Oilers
Keep an eye on the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues this summer. There's been plenty of speculation the last 12 months over Jordan Kyrou's future in St. Louis, and while trade talks fizzled out before March's deadline, there's a very good chance that the Oilers circle back with a big trade offer around next month's NHL Draft in Buffalo. Kyrou, 28, is signed through the 2031 season at $8.1 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause on his contract. There's been some reports he denied a move to...
Report: Blue Jackets Looking to Trade Up at 2026 NHL Draft
Every insider in hockey has stated this summer is going to be the summer of trades, and don't be surprised to see the Columbus Blue Jackets get into the action at next month's NHL Draft in Buffalo. The Blue Jackets came on strong to finish last season after their coaching change, but unfortunately, fell a little short of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With a fresh perspective heading into the offseason, there's been plenty of reports that Columbus is a team to watch at the draft, as they're ...
NHLTR: 5 Teams Linked to Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews Offseason Trade
The Auston Matthews saga continues as there's reports heading in just about every direction regarding his future as Toronto Maple Leafs captain. Most recently, Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco commented on Matthews' future in Toronto, and suggests that if John Chayka and Matthews can't get on the same page, an offseason trade is coming, and there's five teams to keep on everyone's radar. Matthews has two seasons left on his contract, but after a disastrous season this past year, with the GM an...
The Biggest Questions Facing NHL Front Offices Right Now
Every NHL front office enters the offseason with a different set of problems. Some teams need scoring help. Others search for defensive stability or long-term salary flexibility. A few clubs sit in a difficult middle ground where management must decide whether to push forward or start over. General managers now work in a faster environment than they did even five years ago. Contract values rise quickly. Younger players expect larger roles earlier in their careers. Fan pressure increases after ...

As the trade rumors continue to fly around the NHL, the first Trade Targets Board of the offseason has been revealed by insider Frank Seravalli. He posts a Top 25 most likely to be dealt, and it features no less than six goalies. And a Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman sits atop the entire trade brigade, at No. 1. Here's a look at the top 10, plus the other goalies on the list: Morgan Rielly, D, Toronto Jordan Kyrou, F, St. Louis Jake DeBrusk, F, Vancouver Jordan Binnington, G, St. Louis Vincent ...
Report: Ottawa Senators trading goaltender Mads Sogaard
Keep an eye on the Ottawa Senators crease this summer, and some fresh talent could be on the way. After what was a very disappointing finish to their season after a quick first-round Stanley Cup Playoff exit, roster changes are on the way this offseason, and apparently, it all starts in net. Bruce Garrioch: Re Mads Sogaard: The expectation is he won’t be back, but the Senators may give him a qualifying offer to retain his rights. The club tried to trade him at the deadline last year - Ottawa C...
Report: Schenn & Stanley Not Returning to Buffalo Sabres
Short and sweet with the Sabres. After a mid-season trade which saw the Buffalo Sabres give up valuable assets, both defencemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley are set to hit the free-agent market on July 1. While it was surprising to see how much the Sabres gave up to land both d-men from the Winnipeg Jets, it turned out to not be a great fit as neither blueliner was in their Game 7 lineup against the Montreal Canadiens. Schenn, 36, isn't the most mobile defender, but his game is built on posit...
Report: Maple Leafs Open To Trade Offers On Everyone Except Auston Matthews
According to TSN's Chris Johnston , the Toronto Maple Leafs roster could look very different next season. Johnston reports that the Maple Leafs are talking to other teams regarding trades and have made it clear to opposing teams, they're open to just about anything, just don't ask about captain Auston Matthews. “One of the things I’ve been told by other teams with the Leafs, is that the message that’s come out from their front office is that they’re willing to discuss any players on thei...
One Big Hangup Looms For Canucks' Coaching Frontrunner Manny Malhotra
It's sounding more and more like the Vancouver Canucks are leaning towards in-house candidate Manny Malhotra to take over as their new head coach. But we're hearing that there could be one big hangup that looms over that potentiality. The Canucks decided to move on from former coach Adam Foote, firing him this week after they finished with the team's worst record of this century. The franchise was also disappointed on NHL Lottery Day, as they fell to the third pick in next month's draft....
A Proposed Sabres/Jets Blockbuster Trade for Connor Hellebuyck
The Buffalo Sabres had a great run this season. A first place finish in the Atlantic Division, their first time back in the playoffs in 15 years, and a run to Game 7 overtime of the second round. But one area that began to spring leaks as the postseason wore on was between the pipes. "Their two main guys had been leaky in the playoffs, and specifically, Ukko-Pekka Luukkanen," Jeff Marek said on Daily Faceoff Live. He then went on to propose swinging a bold blockbuster that could fix that...
Wild 'Badly' Want to Re-Sign Michael McCarron, But Pending UFA May Decline
Free agent centers don't exactly grow on trees in the NHL these days. Especially ones that are the size of trees. 6'6", 230-pound Michael McCarron is a pending UFA, and the Minnesota Wild "badly want to re-sign him." But they might not get the chance, says insider Michael Russo in The Athletic. While the Wild have cap space and badly want to re-sign him, McCarron almost certainly could make more on the open market since it just takes one team to throw a boatload of cash and term his way....
3 Edmonton Oilers Trade Targets This Summer, Inc. Jordan Kyrou
The Edmonton Oilers have a critical offseason, as they face, effectively, one more year to show Connor McDavid that they can put a Cup winner around him. Next summer, he'd be heading into his pending UFA year, and that could be the end of the line for him in Edmonton if they haven't made huge strides. To that end, insider Jeff Marek joined Daily Faceoff Live to discuss some of the moves that the Oilers should look to make this summer. And he says Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues shoul...
Are the Ducks' Primed To Move Former 30-goal Scorer Frank Vatrano?
The Anaheim Ducks Frank Vatrano made the best of his opportunity in Orange County to become an All-Star during the 2023-24 NHL season. He'd set himself apart from a team that was struggling in the beginning of its rebuild, scoring 37 goals and 60 points playing a full 82-game season. It wasn't long before the Ducks found themselves relying on his veteran presence in the lineup for secondary scoring as young talent poured into the lineup, including Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gau...
Landing Spots for Red Wings' Sebastian Cossa
The Detroit Red Wings fell short of the playoffs this season, and as a result, the Yzerplan is in question. As a team that started off hot at the beginning of the year, and ended the regular season 41-31-10, and 6th in the Atlantic Division. A fall from grace that earned backlash from the fans and disdain for general manager Steve Yzerman's "Yzerplan" , which fell apart at the seams. The team will need to sell in order to get more "win-now" pieces, and one player who could n...
Simon Nemec Trade Rumors Rule The Day For The Devils
Does he or doesn't he want out? The Simon Nemec trade buzz has picked up again big-time on Thursday, with two conflicting reports leaving New Jersey Devils fans confused. A report out of Nemec's home country of Slovakia indicated that the pending RFA defenseman wanted out of New Jersey. A trade for Šimon Nemec in the NHL is more real than ever, even considering that such speculation has been circulating around him for a long time. The translation of the article goes on to say...
Latest News Makes Scott Laughton's Return to Maple Leafs Unlikely
Scott Laughton was thrilled to be headed to his hometown team when the Toronto Maple Leafs dealt for him at the 2025 trade deadline. But after a full calendar year, he was sent to the Los Angeles Kings at this year's deadline, though with the thought that maybe he could return this summer as an unrestricted free agent. As it turned out, Laughton quite enjoyed his time in LA, as his ice time was boosted by two minutes a game with the Kings. Accordingly, his production went up, and he was ...
NHL Rumors: Favorite Emerging To Become Canucks Next Head Coach
The Vancouver Canucks fired head coach Adam Foote and his entire coaching staff Tuesday, ending a one-year tenure that produced the worst record in the NHL at 25-49-8 and a 58-point season that left the franchise searching for answers at every level. The organizational reset under new GM Ryan Johnson, with co-presidents Daniel and Henrik Sedin overseeing the larger picture, is now complete enough that a new coaching hire is the last major piece of the rebuild's foundation. And Johnson did ...
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs To Pursue Trades For Two Defensemen This Summer
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not done reshaping their roster after firing Craig Berube and naming John Chayka as GM. The blue line is next. David Pagnotta confirmed that Chayka is expected to pursue trade discussions involving both Morgan Rielly and Brandon Carlo this summer, with the defensive corps overhaul described as a top organizational priority. "Augmenting the blue line is a priority for Chayka, and he insinuated moves to the defensive corps are on the horizon," Pagnotta wrote. "W...
Maple Leafs Netminder Joseph Woll Linked To Philadelphia Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers are among the teams looking to upgrade their goaltending situation this summer. While career backup Dan Vladar provided more than they could have hoped for in a starting role this season, Samuel Ersson left plenty to be desired as his understudy. Philly is looking for a new tandem partner for Vladar. While the Flyers are open to locking up Vladar if the price is right (he has one year remaining on his deal and is eligible for an extension July 1), they are fully a...
3 Landing Spots Named for UFA Jacob Trouba
When the New York Rangers decided it was time to move on from their captain, Jacob Trouba, midway through the 2024-25 season, it was the Anaheim Ducks' gain. Adding a veteran leader with a punishing physical presence to their blueline turned out to be the next step in the team launching itself out of its rebuild and into serious playoff contention. But after a year and a half there, Trouba is now an unrestricted free agent. He's coming off an $8 million AAV over the past seven years, and...
Insiders Update Vegas' Plans With Bruce Cassidy
It's Bruce Cassidy's 61st birthday today. But he's no closer to being gifted a new job in the NHL. It was leaked last week that the Vegas Golden Knights denied the Edmonton Oilers permission to speak with their fired head coach (who is still under contract) for Edmonton's vacancy behind the bench. Now it's being confirmed by insider Andy Strickland on the Cam & Strick podcast that the Golden Knights also denied the Los Angeles Kings permission to talk to Cassidy. Is Vegas being pet...
Huge Update on Cale Makar Ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Final
The status of Colorado Avalanche superstar defenseman Cale Makar had everyone in Denver on edge for the past week, after his injury in the final game of their second-round series. Today, head coach Jared Bednar confirmed the news: Makar will NOT play in Game 1 Wednesday night. Makar will be out for Game 1 tonight against Vegas 👀 pic.twitter.com/ZPM5YJnrX9 — Spittin' Chiclets (@spittinchiclets) May 20, 2026 But the news is not all bad for Avalanche fans, as Bednar calls him day-to-day and says ...
4 Rival Teams Linked to Top Pending UFA Alex Tuch
Alex Tuch spoke to the media today at the Buffalo Sabres exit interviews following their crushing Game 7 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Tuch has become the focus of attention around Buffalo now, as he is potentially the top pending unrestricted free agent on the market, and his future is unclear. "Obviously, the next month or so, I have to make some decisions," Tuch told the media. He also said that extension talks were put on hold during the playoffs, but GM Jarmo Kekalainen has onc...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews Linked to 3 Teams
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka was flying down to Arizona to meet with captain Auston Matthews and if the two can't get on the same page on the team's direction this offseason, Matthews is expected to ask for a trade. The Leafs captain wasn't committal to anything during his end-of-season media availability, with his infamous quote stating 'I can't predict the future', even though he's under contract for two more seasons. It caught a lot of people off guard in Toronto, and now...
