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...

In Surprising Update, Momentum Changing for Canucks New Hockey Ops Dept.

From all reports as of late Monday night, the Vancouver Canucks were leaning in the direction of Evan Gold as their new general manager. Now new insider information on Tuesday afternoon is that there's "momentum" behind the Canucks leaning towards their current assistant GM Ryan Johnson—for a "head of hockey operations" role. We will see where this goes over the next day or so, but hearing momentum is moving in Ryan Johnson’s direction for Vancouver’s head of hockey operations. Nothing is done...

Report: Oilers Denied Permission To Talk to Top Head Coaching Candidate

The indications of Kris Knoblauch's impending demise as Edmonton Oilers head coach have reached another level, as a report on Tuesday suggests that the Oilers have asked the Vegas Golden Knights for permission to speak to their ex-head coach Bruce Cassidy. Vegas has denied permission for Edmonton, however.  League sources say #Oilers have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes. To this point, sources say @GoldenKnights have with...

Wild's McCarron Calls Out Avs' John Manson After 'Dirty' Butt-End

Things are getting chippy between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche. The Avs took Game 4 on Monday night in what was a very testy affair. It included Avalanche defenceman Josh Manson butt-ending Wild forward Michael McCarron, and needless to say McCarron didn't hold back or mince his words. Manson and McCarron got tangled up along the half boards in the first period of Game 4, and Manson delivered one of the dirty butt-ends you'll ever see. He was assessed a four-minute double minor on...

4 Players Linked To Devils If They Trade 12th Overall Pick

The New Jersey Devils held a 2.5 percent chance of jumping to second overall in the Draft Lottery. It did not materialize. They are locked in at 12th overall for the June 26 draft in Buffalo, which means they will not have a shot at Gavin McKenna or Ivar Stenberg, the two players at the top of the class. What they do have is a first-round pick in a draft tier that is valuable as trade currency, a clear and well-documented need for top-six winger help, and a new general manager in Sunny M...

NHL Rumors: Flyers Expected To Make Forward Trade This Offseason

The Philadelphia Flyers were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round, four games against the best defensive team in the playoffs, and the result exposed two things that have been true about this organization all season. The goaltending and the wings are legitimate. The center position needs work. Flyers centers combined to score four goals across ten playoff games this spring. That needs to be fixed before this team becomes a true contender. Sam Carchidi of The Hockey News...

Mitch Marner's Playoff Production Confirms The Worst for the Maple Leafs

  Mitch Marner has played in the Vegas Golden Knights system for only a short while after his trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs. After being traded for depth forward Nic Roy, he signed an eight-year, $12 million average annual value deal with the Golden Knights.  Coming off a 102-point season in 2024-25, there were questions of whether or not he could replicate his production in Vegas under Bruce Cassidy's system.  Now the former Maple Leafs forward, and Selke-Trophy candidate,...

Sharks' William Eklund Becoming Trade Candidate This Summer

Many eyes around the NHL are on the San Jose Sharks and their second overall pick in next month's draft. We all know that they're desperate to land a top-flight defenseman this offseason, and there just happens to be one near the top of the draft. Chase Reid is a 6'2" mobile, puck-handing  offensive defenseman  who would be an excellent  quarterback-type blueliner to team up with Sharks' superstar center Macklin Celebrini for many years to come.  However, while Reid is the ...

Sportsnet Takes Heat After Posting AI Pic of Canadiens Nick Suzuki & Family

  The Montreal Canadiens and Nick Suzuki have put up fierce resistance to the Buffalo Sabres in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.  In game three, the Canadiens put a damper on the hopes the Sabres rode into the second round, hanging six goals on Alex Lyon. Nick Suzki tallied an assist in the victory that night, providing a primary assist on Alex Newhook's goal at 15:14 in the third period against the Sabres.  That goal was the Canadiens' sixth of the night and sealed...

Report: Maple Leafs rejecting Matthew Knies trade offers

Brad Treliving almost traded Matthew Knies from the Toronto Maple Leafs shortly after signing him to a six-year contract extension. Now, Treliving is out of a job, and all signs are pointing to Knies staying long term in Toronto. There were multiple reports in March leading up to the trade deadline that Treliving was involved in trade discussions with the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, and Utah Mammoth on Knies, but the talks fizzled out last minute. Meanwhile, John Chayka has now tak...

Report: Senators & Blues Discussed Colton Parayko Trade

Colton Parayko didn't want to join the Buffalo Sabres, what about the Ottawa Senators. Reports have surfaced that both teams have been in contact to discuss the parameters of a Parayko trade, but as we know, his no-trade protection could be a big hurdle. Parayko, 32, is signed through the 2030 season at $6.5 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause that doesn't go down to just 15 teams for two more summers. Bruce Garrioch: The Citizen reported that the Senators kicked tires on Colton Parayko; ...

Maple Leafs part ways with Shane Doan

The shake up in the Toronto Maple Leafs front office continues. After John Chayka and Mats Sundin were brought in to man the ship, there's been several Leafs executives who have fled, and on Monday, the team announced that they've parted ways with Shane Doan. Shane Doan and the Leafs have parted ways. His deal was expiring June 30. Sounds like a mutual decision. Doan was brought in by former Leafs GM Brad Treliving. Doan recently interviewed in Vancouver. We’ll see where Doan ends up but he’s ...

Chicago Blackhawks Making Interesting Trade Offers

The Chicago Blackhawks are a team to watch on the offseason trade market. General manager Kyle Davidson needs to add some help for Connor Bedard and company, and are dangling the number four overall pick to see what kind of package they could land. Ideally, the Blackhawks would find a veteran defenceman with term left on his contract to add to the group. Davidson also has a slew of NHL ready prospects he could include in packages, and word is he's open to do so. Chicago also has a whopping thr...

Sharks Could Offer #2 Pick for Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews

Keep an eye on the San Jose Sharks and Toronto Maple Leafs. The two teams have been linked to a few offseason trade proposals, and one mega-deal could see the Sharks offering their number two overall pick at next month's draft in a package for Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews. Matthews and the Maple Leafs are not on the same page at the moment, and he's slated to sit down with new general manager John Chayka next week to go over the team's new direction. Matthews has hinted that if ...

Hurricanes Hand Out Multi-Year Extension To Pending UFA

Canucks Have Intriguing Offer For Sedin Twins

They are the two most legendary Vancouver Canucks of all-time. Hall of Famers Daniel & Henrik Sedin have been working in player development for the team for the past four years. But it sounds like the franchise has made them an offer to take on a much bigger role in the newly under-construction front office hierarchy. Elliotte Friedman revealed the Canucks' desires on his 32 Thoughts podcast on Monday: I do think the Canucks have asked the Sedins if they want to take more of a role, and how wi...

NHL Rumors: Big Development On Kevin Hayes' NHL Future

Kevin Hayes is heading into free agency this summer, and the Pittsburgh Penguins are not expected to be involved. Josh Yohe of The Athletic confirmed the organization has no plans to offer the 34-year-old center a new contract. Yohe framed it as: Hayes was a good soldier during his time in Pittsburgh, but his lack of foot speed made cracking the lineup a challenge, and he will not return next season. The decision is one of the easier ones Kyle Dubas faces this offseason, which is saying so...

NHL Rumors: New Team Linked To Bruce Cassidy

The Los Angeles Kings have a coaching vacancy and a roster talented enough to deserve better than another first-round playoff exit. Bruce Cassidy has a Stanley Cup, a Jack Adams Award, and no job. David Pagnotta of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reported this week on the Hot Stove program that Cassidy has emerged as a candidate for the Kings' head coaching position. The Kings fired Jim Hiller on March 1, replaced him with interim head coach D.J. Smith for the remainder of the regular season,...

Predators Urged to Make 2 'Bold Offers' This Summer To Add Star-Powered Offense

The Nashville Predators have some big decisions to make this offseason. First, they have to settle on a new general manager. Then they still have the Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault questions hanging over them—To trade or not to trade? In the latter's case, could a buyout even be in the cards ?  This team also needs to add some more scoring to its top six. They registered less than three goals per game this season.  To that end,  Alex Daugherty of the  Nashville Te...

Maple Leafs Rumors: 5 Potential Center Targets Proposed for This Offseason

With the Toronto Maple Leafs having won the lottery, if they don't move the pick, they'll be adding a legit top-six winger to their roster next season. Whether it's presumed No. 1 pick Gavin McKenna, or perhaps Swedish forward Ivar Stenberg, they'll be adding an excellent future star.  But one of the biggest trouble spots for the Buds has been their center depth. After Auston Matthews (assuming he stays) and veteran John Tavares (he'll be 36 next season), it's a pretty precarious situatio...
