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...

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...

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...

This isn't the first time Robertson asked out, as former GM Brad Treliving tried to ship him to Columbus...

Michael McCarron is apparently heading to Western Canada once free agency opens. There's been multiple reports from several sources, including The Athletic stating the pending free-agent forward will be signing a multi-year deal with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1. The most recent linkage came from Thomas Drance, who had this to say about the connection: The rebuilding Canucks should use July 1 to break the wage scale for players.

3 Trade Destinations for Sabres' Devon Levi
Devon Levi was the prized piece the Buffalo Sabres received when they traded Sam Reinhart to Florida in 2021. He was the goaltending prospect who was supposed to anchor the franchise's future between the pipes for the next decade. That plan has changed. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported the Sabres are now shopping Levi, and Jeff Marek went further on Coming In Hot , stating that the relationship between the organization and their former top goalie prospect is effectively o...
NHL Rumors: Blackhawks Linked to Three Trade Targets This Offseason
The Chicago Blackhawks finished 29-39-14 for 72 points, dead last in the Central Division and 31st overall in the NHL standings. Connor Bedard has established himself as a franchise center, posting new career highs in goals, assists, and points despite playing on one of the league's worst rosters around him. The rebuild has produced draft capital, cap space, and a prospect pool that analysts consistently rank among the best in the sport. What it has not yet produced is the impact forward...
Winnipeg Jets Urged To Submit Offer Sheet To Top Restricted Free Agent
The Winnipeg Jets need to improve this offseason significantly, particularly if they're going to keep all-world goaltender Connor Hellebuyck happy. After the season, he called the team's performance this year "unacceptable" and he's now become a trade target for some hopeful teams this summer. One of the Jets' most urgent needs is a top-six scorer, and to that end, Murat Ates of The Athletic says that a controversial, yet legal, route might be their best option. We’ve s...
Wild GM Bill Guerin's Bold Statement "Nobody in this game is untouchable"
The Minnesota Wild , under head coach John Hynes, made it to the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. He dragged a team that general manager Bill Guerin constructed. Guerin traded for defenseman Quinn Hughes , but he wasn't the final puzzle piece to lead the Wild to a Stanley Cup. The Wild are a team built with plenty of skill and size, but their 3.27 goals for per 60 were unable to defeat a Colorado Avalanche team that's played consistent hockey with (3.63 gf/60) ...
Vancouver Canucks Make Head Coaching Decision on Adam Foote
Now that the Vancouver Canucks have a new general manager in place in Ryan Johnson, and new presidents of hockey operations in the Sedins, it was time to deal with the head coaching situation. And the front office trio has decided that Adam Foote is not the man to lead them forward. Insider Darren Dreger reports that Foote will not return. The Vancouver Canucks continue to make changes. Sources say Adam Foote has been let go as Head Coach. Other changes to the coaching staff also being m...
Top UFA D-Man Darren Raddysh Linked to 4 Teams
Coming into the 2025-26 season, not many pundits around hockey would have pegged 30-year-old Darren Raddysh as the top unrestricted free agent defenseman this summer. But here we are. Just two years removed from his first full NHL season, Raddysh broke out in a big way with the Tampa Bay Lightning this year. He slid into the largely absent Victor Hedman spot as the No. 1 blueliner for the Bolts, acting as the quarterback on the power play, and more than doubling his previous career high ...
Golden Knights Get Verdict From Appeal On 2nd-Rd. Pick Punishment
The Vegas Golden Knights met with the NHL on Tuesday morning to appeal the significant penalties the league handed down for their media violations last week. Many observers around hockey felt that the stiff punishment of losing a second-round pick in this year's draft would be rescinded or lightened. But the NHL is taking a hard stand on this, and the punishment stands. The Vegas Golden Knights appealed the NHL’s punishment in person this morning. It was determined that the penalties - a...
Pending Free-Agent Bobby McMann Linked to 4 Teams
Free agency starts in just six weeks as there's going to be a number of players receiving hefty pay raises on their new deal. The salary cap is going up and the crop of talent this summer isn't as game-breaking as usual, so a player like Bobby McMann is someone to circle as a forward ready to secure the bag. McMann split last season between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Seattle Kraken and posted career highs with 29 goals and 46 points. McMann's combination of speed, skill, and size make him one...
Toronto Maple Leafs trading goaltender this offseason
John Chayka doesn't have much choice, he's going to be trading one of his goaltenders this offseason. The freshly minted Maple Leafs general manager is as trade happy as anyone in the league and in order to shore up the Leafs defense core, and find some more depth up front, Chayka's going to have to pull from an area of strength and move one of his goaltenders. The Maple Leafs have four goalies under contract for next season and right now, the most likely to not be traded is Joseph Woll. He's ...
5 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Boone Jenner
Boone Jenner is in store for a nice payday on July 1. The pending free-agent forward has changed agents this offseason and is setting himself up to meet with teams late next month, to then sign a multi-year contract on July 1st once free agency opens.

The Athletic's Aaron Portzline who is the most in-tune reporter who follows the Blue Jackets daily has made it clear he thinks Jenner is headed elsewhere ...
Sabres' Tage Thompson Wants Buffalo to Re-Sign Alex Tuch
The Buffalo Sabres are heading home and now some serious roster decisions loom over the franchise. Alex Tuch is a pending unrestricted free agent and could be one of the biggest fish on the market. There's no doubt there's going to be a bidding war for his services, but if it was up to teammate Tage Thompson, the team wouldn't think twice inking Tuch to a long-term extension. “I can tell you that I’d love to have him back,” Thompson said. “He’s an ultimate teammate. He’s a leader on this team....
3 Buffalo Sabres Who Won't Be Back Next Season
The Buffalo Sabres exceeded expectations this season, but they'll be heading home for the summer with a sour taste in their mouths after losing Game 7 in overtime to their rival Montreal Canadiens. It was great to see the Sabres relevant again and it's certainly better for hockey in general, so kudos to their management team for turning things around after years and years of disappointment under Kevyn Adams. There's some big decisions to make now heading into the offseason, one that includes t...
LA Kings "Poking Around" On Reclamation Project Per Insider
The Montreal Canadiens have made it to the second round in the postseason without the help of forward Patrik Laine. Laine, who arrived in Montreal after a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets, had thought he had found a new home after a miserable experience in the United States. The experiment playing at center with Pascal Vincent leading the charge fell through, and Blue Jackets fans pathologized his mental issues and took to making fun of him on Twitter. Ditching the Union Blue ...
Maple Leafs Linked To Gold Medal Winning Center
Analytics reigns supreme in the Toronto Maple Leafs front office. The ascent of general manager John Chayka has infused the organization with new blood and a new outlook. For better or worse, it has yet to be determined, as they're going through growing pains. Firing coach Craig Berube and taking a different path.

Will The Vegas Golden Knights Move On From $6.25 M Stanley Cup Champion?
The ruthlessness of the Vegas Golden Knights front office is unmatched in the NHL. Trading goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury for an unknown prospect, while agent Allan Walsh cried foul on Twitter. Their latest move of infamy is firing former head coach Bruce Cassidy, who took them to their first Stanley Cup win in 2023, and is preventing him from speaking to other teams . They're petty and exercise their power (overtly) when possible. Today, as free-agency inches nearer and...
