Veteran Center Adam Henrique Still Unsigned As Camp Approaches
Nearly a month and a half into free agency, Adam Henrique still doesn't have a team, and the reasons are becoming clearer the longer he waits. The 36-year-old center spent last season with the Edmonton Oilers, but that stint ended on a rough note. Henrique appeared in 65 regular-season games and managed just three goals and 15 points, a steep drop-off for a player who had scored at least 11 goals in each of his first 14 NHL seasons. Why The Market Has Stayed Cold The underlying numbers e...
Analysts Debate If Dylan Larkin Will Hold Out From Red Wings Training Camp
The Dylan Larkin drama has dragged on all summer. He put in a request to be traded after the end of last season. That request was made to former president of hockey operations Steve Yzerman. Now, about three months later, Yzerman is gone, and Larkin is still the Detroit Red Wings' captain. Some are saying that Larkin has not rescinded his trade request, even though Stevie Y is out of the hockey ops picture. But Detroit currently doesn't have a GM in place who could even work on a trade, ...
Flames' Simon Nemec: 'I want to prove New Jersey Devils wrong'
The New Jersey Devils essentially gave up on defenceman Simon Nemec, and consider the 2026-27 season a revenge year for the now Calgary Flames' blueliner. Nemec admitted he's as motivated as ever to prove to the Devils that they made a massive mistake, and he's hopeful some more playing time for the rebuilding Flames, will lead to more production. Nemec caught up with The Hockey News' David Alter, and opened up about what it was like to be traded for the first time, and seeing the organization...
Free-Agent Connor Ingram Linked to 2 Teams
Connor Ingram remains one of the best goaltenders available on the open market, and with just a few weeks until training camps open across the NHL, many are surprised he's yet to sign a contract. Ingram spent last season with the Edmonton Oilers, posting 16 wins, including two shutouts, across 32 games. Ingram played to a .899 save percentage, and with the Oil having Tristan Jarry locked up, and bringing in Frederik Andersen and Devon Levi, Ingram returning to Edmonton isn't in the cards. On ...
Edmonton Oilers' Goalie Prospect Returning to North America
Turns out the Edmonton Oilers fanbase can breathe a sigh of relief, as goaltending prospect Samuel Jonsson will be returning to play pro hockey in North America next season. Jonsson's one of the organization's best prospects in net and there was a lot of concern about him turning his back on pro hockey in North America, and heading back to Sweden, however, according to Oilers commentator Bob Stauffer, that's not the case at all. “Regarding reports involving Edmonton Oilers goaltending prospec...
Macklin Celebrini's Next Big Honor To Come Within Weeks
It's been quite the year for Macklin Celebrini. He exploded into superstar status, with a scintillating 45-goal, 115-point season for the San Joe Sharks . That was good for 4th in the NHL scoring race, and a 4th-place finish in Hart Trophy balloting. Then, his summer started out by being named the youngest captain in Team Canada senior men's hockey history at the 2026 IIHF World Championship. He went on to lead Canada in scoring with 14 points in 10 games and earned honors as the tourna...
3 Teams Urged to Sign Adam Fantilli To Offer Sheet
It's been nearly two months since the Philadelphia Flyers turned the hockey world on its ear by signing Leo Carlsson to an astronomical offer sheet of an $18 million AAV over five years. The Anaheim Ducks matched, but the seismic effects have been felt on contracts across the league. One of the seemingly more difficult negotiations still ongoing, is the Columbus Blue Jackets trying to get their own first-line center, and the man selected right after Carlsson, at #3 in the 2023 NHL Draft,...
Islanders Recent Top Prospect Heading To Russia's KHL
Matthew Maggio's path to the NHL is taking a detour through Russia. The New York Islanders forward prospect is expected to sign with Salavat Yulaev of the KHL, with a deal likely to be finalized before the KHL season opens on September 5. A few details reportedly still need to be sorted out, but all signs point to the move happening. Junior Career That Once Suggested Stardom Maggio's amateur resume made him a legit prospect to watch. The Islanders selected him 142nd ove...
Maple Leafs Could Complete Family Reunion This Summer
The Toronto Maple Leafs already pulled off one Raddysh reunion this summer. There's a chance they could try and complete the set. Toronto acquired defenseman Darren Raddysh from the Tampa Bay Lightning in a sign-and-trade back in June, signing him to an eight-year, $68 million contract as part of the deal. Now the Maple Leafs are being connected to his younger brother, Taylor, a winger currently on the New York Rangers. A Wish Their Father Never Got To See Darren and Taylor grew up in Ca...
Free Agent Eeli Tolvanen's Camp Confirms Talks With Several Teams
Eeli Tolvanen remains without a contract more than seven weeks into free agency, but according to his own camp, that has nothing to do with a lack of interest. Per Rob Simpson of Pacific North Hockey , Tolvanen's camp has confirmed conversations with multiple NHL teams about a contract. Simpson is keeping the specific clubs under wraps while those talks continue, but he did rule out one option definitively. One Team Confirmed Out Seattle, where Tolvanen spent the last three and a hal...
NY Rangers Could Face Big Exodus of 5 Notable Names This Season: Insider

Vegas Golden Knights: A Franchise For Second Chances
The Vegas Golden Knights are known in the NHL for their ruthlessness in dealing with former players (for example, the Marc-Andre Fleury trade to Chicago ) and their lack of shame. The President of Hockey Operations, George McPhee, went on the "Cam and Strick" podcast to discuss the ethos of how they determine who to sign and why. One controversial signing in recent years was goaltender Carter Hart, who was a part of the 2018 Hockey Canada scandal . While Hart has made it out unscat...
Wild & Devils Discussing Quinn Hughes Trade
Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin has learned quickly that Quinn Hughes preference is to play hockey in New Jersey with his brothers Jack, and Luke. The Wild have been trying to sign the Norris trophy winning defenceman to a contract extension since July 1, and Hughes has been holding firm, keeping his options open for next summer.

Ducks & Red Wings Linked To Blockbuster Trade
The Anaheim Ducks and Detroit Red Wings are two teams who have been all over headlines this offseason. The Ducks had to deal with a massive offer sheet on Leo Carlsson, made by the Philadelphia Flyers, as the Flyers beat out three other teams, who also made offer sheets to Carlsson this summer. Now, the Ducks are stuck paying Carlsson $18 million AAV, and now don't have enough cap space to sign restricted free agent, Cutter Gauthier. In Detroit, captain Dylan Larkin asked for a trade at ...

The NHL continues to look for ways to grow the game, and expect to see more European connections moving forward. The league is very likely heading back over the pond to play an outdoor game, as soon as next season.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl On Mike Babcock: 'Exactly What We Need'
Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl knows that Mike Babcock isn't loved by everyone in hockey, but he doesn't care, and is ready to play for the controversial coach next season. Draisaitl knows the Oilers needed to make drastic changes this summer, and feels hiring Babcock was exactly what the doctor ordered. "I think he's just going to bring a different attitude and a different mentality to our group," Draisaitl said, according to NHL.com's Shawn P. Roarke . "I think it's exactly...
Rangers' Norris Winner Could Be Eyeing An Exit
Training camp is approaching for the New York Rangers , and one of the most important questions in the organization still doesn't have an answer: does Adam Fox actually want to be part of this rebuild? The Norris Trophy-winning defenseman has never requested a trade. He's also never given a clear yes when asked directly whether he wants to stick around through a retool that's already sent Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck out the door. Quote That Started It The moment that set off the ...
Is Red Wings' Next Star About To Grow Restless?
Moritz Seider has spent this offseason watching his organization unravel from thousands of miles away. On Friday, he finally had to answer for it in public. Speaking during the NHL/NHLPA European Player Media Tour in Munich, the Detroit Red Wings defenseman addressed the fallout from captain Dylan Larkin's trade request and Steve Yzerman's departure as general manager, the first time any current Red Wings player has directly commented on the situation. What He Actually Said Seider was ca...
New Jersey Devils' Biggest Question Heading Into Season
The New Jersey Devils have plenty of questions heading into training camp, but according to NHL.com's own season preview, only one really matters: can Jack Hughes stay on the ice? As part of its "32 in 32" series, NHL.com's Mike G. Morreale identified Hughes' health as the single biggest question facing the Devils this season, and the numbers really back up why. The Record Says Everything Hughes posted 77 points, 27 goals and 50 assists, in just 61 games last season. New Jersey went 8-13-0...
3 Top Candidates Named To Replace Tkachuk As Senators New Captain
After the shocking (though not so shocking) trade of Brady Tkachuk earlier this offseason, the Ottawa Senators now have a vacancy at captain. Some of the possibilities might seem obvious, but insider Bruce Garrioch confirmed in the Ottawa Citizen many of our suspicions by naming the top three candidates to have the 'C' sewn on their jersey. Defenceman Thomas Chabot is a top candidate to be named the next captain, along with blueliner Jake Sanderson. (Tim) Stutzle’s name has also su...
NHL Network Analyst Projects 3 Destinations Connor McDavid Would Be 'Amenable To'
With a potential decision coming for Connor McDavid in less than a year, many around the hockey world are wondering where McJesus could resurrect himself if he were to leave the Edmonton Oilers . Yes, he is starting a two-year extension this coming season, but most pundits suggest that if he does not sign another extension next summer, the Oilers will not want to go into the final year of his contract with so much uncertainty about whether he'll stay. So it makes sense to say that the co...
4 PTO Options for Free-Agent James van Riemsdyk
The NHL free-agent market is dwindling down, and what's left for talent may have to settle for professional tryout agreements. Veteran winger James van Riemsdyk falls into this category, as it's not expected a team is going to offer a guaranteed one-year contract. JVR appeared in 72 games last season for the Detroit Red Wings, scoring 15 goals and 31 points. He's a prolific net-front presence on the power play and still has plenty left in the tank to offer, in a more limited role. JVR isn't a ...

Laine is coming off a five-game season, as the Montreal Canadiens essentially turned their backs on the Finnish forward in January, as he admitted he was healthy enough to play, but the team decided he wasn't an ...
