Quinn Hughes Interested In Contract Extension With Minnesota Wild
Great news Minnesota Wild fans, appears Quinn Hughes doesn't want to go anywhere. Hughes met with the media on Friday, just days after being eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche and opened up about his future in Minny. Hughes has just one season left on his current contract, and is eligible to sign a seven-year extension on July 1st. Hughes will earn $7.8 million AAV next season, and could be in line for a hefty pay raise. I really like it here. I love the team. I love the city and the fans. B...

Not only do they have Jason Robertson that they're trying to sign to a long-term contract, GM Jim Nill will also be active looking to make multiple trades to shake up his roster.

3 Anaheim Ducks Who Won't Be Back Next Season
The Anaheim Ducks were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs thanks to Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights. Their second-round exit is a small win for the Ducks, who are ahead of schedule with their development. GM Pat Verbeek has some interesting decisions on his plate this season as the Ducks will have a few players who won't be back next season, while they also look to add a couple more game breakers via trades or free agency. Here's three Ducks who aren't expected next seaso...
Insider: Cassidy's Leverage On Oilers Is 'Enormous'
There are several teams in the National Hockey League right now looking for a new head coach. And while there are a few guys out there, there is only one very high-in-demand head coach available. And that is Bruce Cassidy. And when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers , his most fervent pursuers, the pressure is squarely on for them to sign him. After the whole 'seeking permission' affair leaked out, leading to the firing of Kris Knoblauch , they have no choice, says insider Elliotte Fr...
4 Potential Trade Destinations for Rangers' Vincent Trocheck
The New York Rangers are once again shopping Vincent Trocheck. The two-way center was taken out of the lineup last season, that's how engaged the trade talks were, however, no deal was struck, and Trocheck awkwardly finished the season in New York. Heading into the offseason, Rangers GM Chris Drury is looking to move off Trocheck, who has three seasons left on his contract at $5.6 million AAV, and he does own a 10-team no-trade clause. Some feel there could be most of the Canadian teams includ...
Analyst Proposes Blockbuster Auston Matthews Trade To Wild
The Auston Matthews trade conversation in Toronto won't be going anywhere this summer. Matthews tore his MCL in March, had surgery, and missed the remainder of a season that saw the Maple Leafs finish 28th in the NHL. Elliotte Friedman has reported that Matthews is not yet committed to playing in Toronto in 2026-27. The Leafs fired Craig Berube and hired John Chayka as GM in a span of weeks, and the organizational reset that is underway has left Matthews' future unclear for the first tim...
NHL Rumors: 5 Candidates For Predators GM As Search Narrows
Barry Trotz announced his retirement on February 2, and the Nashville Predators have been searching for his replacement ever since. Four months later, they still do not have one. In that same window, the New Jersey Devils fired a GM and hired a replacement in nine days, and the Maple Leafs fired Brad Treliving and hired John Chayka in just over a month. Nashville, by contrast, has barely moved publicly despite conducting a wide-ranging interview process behind closed doors. The Predato...

A new management team is in town, and that's bringing about some interesting new rumors for the Toronto Maple Leafs . The latest comes to us from Darren Dreger on TSN's Overdrive, who says that the Buds are one of the suitors for one of the top trade candidates of this coming offseason, Vincent Trocheck of the NY Rangers. 🚨 The Maple Leafs are one of the teams actively showing interest in Rangers F Vincent Trocheck, who the Rangers are looking to potentially move. “This wouldn’t be a surprise,...
Top 4 Head Coaching Candidates for Edmonton Oilers (+ 2 Wild Cards)
The Edmonton Oilers have finally tied the can to Kris Knoblauch . After a completely uninspired campaign (Connor McDavid referred to the team as "average"), and a first-round flop in the playoffs, the Oil are now mining for a new bench boss. Let's have a look at 4 top candidates to take over behind the Oilers' bench. Bruce Cassidy Yes, of course, he is Priority No. 1 for Edmonton, and might even make the rest of this list a moot point. After all, their interest in Cassidy leaking o...
4 Dallas Stars Trade Candidates To Make Room for Jason Robertson Contract
The Dallas Stars are licking their wounds after getting ousted in the first round, far below their high expectations for this season. But they have another big battle to face this summer, in how to find the cap space and re-sign 40-goal scorer and restricted free agent Jason Robertson to a new deal. Rumors have Robertson wanting Mikko Rantanen money (i.e. $12 million AAV), while the Stars have apparently stopped well short of that in their last offer. The Stars have just about $11M in ca...
Breaking: Edmonton Oilers Finally Make Decision on Kris Knoblauch
It was an uncomfortable situation going on in Edmonton, to say the least. When word got out that the Oilers had asked for permission to speak with top available coach Bruce Cassidy—while their own head coach was still employed—it became an untenable situation. The Oil have finally put Knoblauch out of his misery, and on Thursday morning word has dropped that they have officially "relieved him of his coaching duties." He got the word last night. The Edmonton Oilers have relieved Kri...
NHL Rumors: Another Canadian Team Is Being Linked To Kris Knoblauch
The NHL coaching carousel is moving fast this week, and one of its most interesting rumors out there involves a coach who has not officially been fired but is being treated around the league as if he already has been. Kris Knoblauch is still technically the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers . He is also widely expected to be let go by the end of the week, per multiple reports, with the Oilers' pursuit of Bruce Cassidy having leaked publicly before any formal announcement was made. Now th...
Blue Jackets Received Enormous Trade Interest In Charlie Coyle
Charlie Coyle had options. Lots of them. Don Waddell made that clear when he announced that the Columbus Blue Jackets had signed the veteran center to a six-year, $36 million extension through the 2031-32 season. "I've had probably 10-12 calls in the last couple of weeks about what our plans were with Charlie and would we consider trading his rights," Waddell said. The answer was no every time. Newly re-signed #CBJ Charlie Coyle joined the show to talk about his team's head coach Rick ...
Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb Handed Suspension
The Vegas Golden Knights have managed to get by without a top-line forward in Mark Stone the past couple of games. Now they'll have to go into Game 6 of their series with the Anaheim Ducks without a top-four defenseman in Brayden McNabb. He's been suspended by the NHL for one game for driving Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Poehling into the boards, with the puck nowhere near him. Brayden McNabb has been SUSPENDED for Game 6 as a result of this hit on Ryan Poehling during Game 5 pic.twitter.c...
Oilers Destroyed All Over NHL For Their Handling of Cassidy/Knoblauch Affair
Kris Knoblauch has been left twisting in the wind after the news leaked this week that the Edmonton Oilers asked for—but were denied—permission to speak to Bruce Cassidy about their head coaching job. The thing is, Knoblauch still holds that job (as of Wednesday evening). In fact, he has a three-year extension that doesn't even kick in until next season . The Oilers are now getting dragged through the mud for their handling of the situation. Jason Gregor wrote in OilersNation that ...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs' Matthews Linked to Utah Mammoth
The next month for the Toronto Maple Leafs could be their most important in roughly 10 years. Freshly minted general manager John Chayka is set to meet with Auston Matthews over the course of the next two weeks to try and convince the Leafs' captain to return to Toronto next season. With Craig Berube fired, it certainly opens up a clean slate for the organization, even though Chayka admitted he didn't consult with any of the players on the decision. If Matthews isn't interested in heading back...
UFA Goaltender Stuart Skinner Linked to Atlantic Division Team
If Sergei Bobrovsky doesn't make it to July 1, Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Stuart Skinner will be one of the top netminders set to be on the free agent market this summer. But will his next job be as a starter or a backup, or something in between? He shared duties with Arturs Silovs for much of the season after getting traded to Pittsburgh, and was outplayed by him in a timeshare during the Penguins' six-game first-round playoff loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. But overall, Skinner has pl...
7 Coaches Linked to Maple Leafs Head Coach Position
The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to make headlines off the ice as the team announced on Wednesday they've fired Craig Berube from his head coaching position. Now, John Chayka and Mats Sundin get to bring in a fresh perspective behind the bench and hopefully the players will respond next season. There's been several names already linked to the Leafs bench, including Bruce Cassidy, who recently tried to interview with the Edmonton Oilers, but was denied by the Vegas Golden Knights, who still hav...
First Intriguing Name Emerges As Strong Candidate For Next Maple Leafs Head Coach
The dust hasn't yet settled on the firing of head coach Craig Berube Wednesday morning, but we're already hearing of a notable name being attached to the Toronto Maple Leafs' new opening behind the bench. Insider Elliotte Friedman tells us on Wednesday that former Leafs assistant and current Abbotsford Canucks head coach Manny Malhotra is now a prime candidate for the Toronto job. I did have a couple of candidates say to me that the Leafs wouldn't be afraid in trying an up-and-comer, a first t...
Surprising Factor Helped Lead To Ryan Johnson's Pending Hire as Canucks GM
The rumors emerged yesterday that Vancouver Canucks' valued assistant GM Ryan Johnson will be named the new general manager (or whatever title they land on). The announcement should be coming anytime now. We're getting more details now on the impending hiring on Wednesday, as we hear that it's a three-year deal for Johnson, and that he'll be working under the Sedin twins in the front office. But another surprising detail came from Insider Rick Dhaliwal, who tells us that John...
Toronto Maple Leafs Fire Head Coach Craig Berube
The Toronto Maple Leafs fired head coach Craig Berube, ending a two-year tenure that produced an Atlantic Division title in its first season and a 28th-place finish and first playoff miss since 2016 in its second. New general manager John Chayka made the announcement in a statement issued by the club. "Craig is a tremendous coach and an even better person," Chayka said. "This decision is more reflective of an organizational shift and an opportunity for a fresh start than it is an evaluatio...
NHL Rumors: Oilers Linked To Two Trade Targets
The Edmonton Oilers lost to the Anaheim Ducks in six games in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the organizational autopsy that followed has identified two recurring problems that GM Stan Bowman needs to solve this summer. The blue line needs a right-shot defenseman with size, and the goaltending needs an answer beyond the current group. Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Sun identified two trade targets he believes Bowman should pursue to address both. Michael Kesselring -...
Minnesota Wild Prospect Returning To Play In Sweden
Oskar Olausson is heading back to Sweden . Mattias Persson and Johan Svensson of Expressen reported that the Minnesota Wild pending restricted free agent is in the final stages of negotiations with SHL club Frolunda HC, and EliteProspects confirmed the transaction was officially posted. It is a return home for the 23-year-old Stockholm native and prospect whose NHL development has taken one of the more winding roads in recent draft history. Selected 28th overall by the Colorado Avalanche...
Penguins, Malkin working on contract extension
It sounds like Sidney Crosby and the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins are getting their wish. After their season ended after their first-round defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers, Crosby and the rest of the Penguins went public with their thoughts on Evgeni Malkin's future. With the Russian forward's contract expiring this season, there's been plenty of speculation about Malkin's future in Pittsburgh. However, on Tuesday, Kyle Dubas released a statement and made it clear the organization would lo...
NHL Trade Rumors: Flyers listening to trade offers on Matvei Michkov
The Philadelphia Flyers have some big decisions to make this offseason, and they include what to do with former top prospect Matvei Michkov. This season Michkov and head coach Rick Tocchet did not see eye to eye and the promising young forward was in and out of the lineup all the way through the Stanley Cup Playoffs. At just 21 years old and another year left on his entry-level contract, the Flyers are reportedly listening to trade offers this summer, and Michkov could be used to move up the N...
