Canadiens' Prospect Adam Engstrom Becomes Trade Candidate
With his entry-level contract going into its final year and no extension talks ongoing, Montreal Canadiens prospect Adam Engstrom has become a trade candidate this summer. Per Arpon Basu of The Athletic , the Habs " are scouring the trade market and using their surplus on defence as capital in that search." It is no secret Engström’s name is floating around out there.

Trade Update On Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly
Morgan Rielly's name spent much of the summer floating around the trade rumor mill. That chatter has gone almost entirely silent. The San Jose Sharks were rumored to have interest in Rielly earlier this offseason. Instead, San Jose acquired Darnell Nurse from the Edmonton Oilers , removing what had been considered one of the more realistic landing spots for the veteran Toronto defenseman. Why San Jose Made Sense The Sharks were viewed as a logical fit for months. San Jose has been rebuil...

The Boston Bruins are heading into a second straight season without a captain, and the front office surprisingly isn't in any rush to change that. Team president Cam Neely addressed the vacancy during the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon , confirming the organization still hasn't decided whether to name someone before training camp. "I don't know if you necessarily need to have a guy unless there is that one guy that really stands out," Neely said. "We've been blessed to have great captains...
Capitals Racing To Lock Up Two Young Forwards Early
The Washington Capitals aren't waiting to find out if a rival team gets aggressive with their two most promising young forwards. GM Chris Patrick has begun contract extension talks with both Ryan Leonard and Justin Sourdif, per NHL.com's Tom Gulitti , well before either player is even eligible for restricted free agency. "I think my M.O. going forward really is if you have guys that are going to be restricted free agents that could potentially get offer sheets, you want to get in front o...

We shared the report earlier this week that the Ducks' restricted free agent turned down a huge extension offer already.

New Metro Team Linked To Free Agent Vladimir Tarasenko
The Philadelphia Flyers still need finishing, and one insider believes a familiar name sitting on the open market could be the answer. Per NHL Network's Mike Rupp , Vladimir Tarasenko would be a strong fit in Philadelphia. "I think the Flyers are a team that needs more finishers," Rupp said. "Just like I talked about Patrik Laine not needing many opportunities to shoot the puck and score, Vlad Tarasenko is the same way. I'd like to see him in Philly. I think that would help them out." A Power ...
Sidney Crosby & Penguins Working On Contract Extension
Sidney Crosby is entering the final year of his contract, and unlike two years ago, there's barely any noise around it. Per Josh Yohe of The Athletic , that's because a new deal could be finalized before the Penguins even drop the puck on the 2026-27 season. "The smart money would be on Crosby signing a new deal sometime between now and the middle of September," Yohe wrote. "That's how it went before, that's the timeline Crosby is comfortable with, and a new contract seems inevitable." ...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs open to moving 2 players
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka is no stranger to making trades, and he's managed to already put his fingerprints all over his roster in his first offseason.

Patrik Laine Urged To Take Offer From This Cup Contender
At this point in the offseason, it's clear there isn't a huge demand for unrestricted free agent Patrik Laine. Yes, there are several teams linked to having potential interest in him, but there's nothing substantial, and apparently, nothing imminent. Laine played only five games in October last season with the Montreal Canadiens . He missed a few months after surgery to repair a core muscle injury. But even when he was supposedly cleared to play medically, the Habs had no use for h...
