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...
3 Philadelphia Flyers Who Won't Be Back Next Season
The Philadelphia Flyers made some huge strides in their rebuild this season, making it to the second round of the playoffs (before running headlong into the Mack truck that is the Carolina Hurricanes). The two playoff rounds of experience will be a huge boost to the team as they move forward into next season. But there are some areas to address, and some changes to be made. Let's take a look at three Flyers who might have played their last games in Philly. Rasmus Ristolainen ...
Insider: Oilers to make ‘Very Bold’ Moves This Summer
The Edmonton Oilers are under the gun. Needing to prove to Connor McDavid next season that they're worth him sticking around for, the team will has some work to do this offseason to fix up some trouble spots that badly need filling. And according to insider David Pagnotta, on the DFO Rundown , the Oilers front office has gotten the message loud and clear from their superstar, and will make some "very bold" moves this summer. I believe that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl had disc...
Senators Set To Move On From Veteran Forward
The Ottawa Senators have some roster decisions to make this summer, not the least of which is what to do about a couple of pending unrestricted free agents. Namely, Claude Giroux, and Nick Cousins. But according to a report, another one of those UFAs-to-be, 17-year veteran center Lars Eller, is one player who will certainly not be back. Bruce Garrioch writes in the Ottawa Citizen that the Sens will be moving on from the 37-year-old (happy birthday as of yesterday, Lars). The ...
Flames & Sharks Emerging as Potential Trade Partners
The Calgary Flames are entering this offseason as a team to watch on the trade market. With the Flames being in a rebuild, there is a real chance that they will end up trading away more of their veterans during the summer. The San Jose Sharks, on the other hand, took a notable step forward this season and should be looking to boost their roster this summer because of this. Their biggest need is to improve their defense as they look to take that next step and get into the playoffs next year. Du...
3 Free-Agent Destinations for Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle
Charlie Coyle had a big 2025-26 season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, posting 20 goals and 58 points in 82 games. He chose a great time to have a strong campaign, as he is now entering the summer as a pending unrestricted free agent. If the Blue Jackets are unable to re-sign Coyle, expect these three teams to target him in free agency. Los Angeles Kings The Kings desperately need to add at least one center this offseason, with Anze Kopitar retiring. With Coyle being the top center...

Report: Penguins Letting Anthony Mantha Test Free Agency
The Pittsburgh Penguins remain a team to watch this offseason, and it sounds like Kyle Dubas won't be shy to let some of this season's players walk. Not only is Evgeni Malkin likely leaving, the same can be said about winger Anthony Mantha. Elliotte Friedman: Re Penguins: I don't think, unless it's changed recently, it doesn't sound like there'd been a lot of discourse about a contract extension for Anthony Mantha - 32 Thoughts (5/1) Mantha, 31, was on a one-year deal worth $2.5 million AAV an...
Chicago Blackhawks Making Trade Offers
The Chicago Blackhawks are going to be one of the more aggressive teams on the offseason trade market, and it's all going to kick off at the NHL Draft in Buffalo next month. Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson sits at the 4th spot heading into the first-round, but many around the league know Davidson has no interest using the pick, and would much prefer to dangle the draft pick to land a winger with term on their contract to suit up beside Connor Bedard. Bedard's growing frustrated with t...
3 Goalies Who Are Changing Teams Next Season

Here's three goaltenders who are changing teams this summer: Stuart Skinner The Pittsbu...
Maple Leafs' Ekman-Larsson Trying to Recruit Ivar Stenberg
The Toronto Maple Leafs have the first overall pick at next month's draft, and defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson is going to do whatever he can to make an impression on teammate Ivar Stenberg at the World Championships coming up in Switzerland. Stenberg is battling it out with Gavin McKenna for the top prospect spot heading into the draft, and many insiders around the league have split down the middle on who they'd draft. Many feel Stenberg is more mature on and off the ice and more of a complet...
Ex-Rangers Presidents' Cup Winning Coach Eyes A Return To NHL
Peter Laviolette has experienced winning a Stanley Cup championship once during his NHL career as a head coach and has sought to replicate that experience elsewhere.

First UFA Top 10 'Big Board' for This Summer Revealed
July 1st won't be quite the same as in past years in the NHL. The so-called 'Free Agent Frenzy' will be more like a 'Free Agent Fizzle' this time around. All the big names who were pending UFAs this past season have re-signed with their current teams. Huge stars like Connor McDavid to Kirill Kaprizov to Jack Eichel to Adrian Kempe and Artemi Panarin. There will still be some talent out there, to be sure, just nothing game-changing. And we must also keep in mind that some might stil...
Maple Leafs Should Issue Ultimatum To Auston Matthews: Insider
Rumors emerging earlier this week out of Toronto indicate that Auston Matthews isn't sure yet if he's down to return to the Maple Leafs for next season. He wants to wait and see what the new management team can do this summer before making a decision on his future. One thing the captain seems to be forgetting is that he does have two years to run still on his contract with the club. A contract that pays him pretty handsomely, at $13.25 million annually (4th highest in the NHL n...
Significant Development in Vancouver; Canucks Down to 2 Candidates for GM
The Vancouver Canucks have interviewed a wide swath of different candidates to fill their opening in the general manager's office. But now it's coming down to the short strokes. According to Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, they're down to a Final Two, and others have been told they're out of the running.

Ex-Stanley Cup Winning GM Says One Team Will Take Elias Pettersson Off Canucks' Hands
One of the big stories we'll be watching this offseason is what the Vancouver Canucks ultimately wind up doing with their disappointing $92 million man, Elias Pettersson. There has been plenty of talk of a trade, but with an $11.6M AAV, it's unclear if there is a team out there that would be willing to take that chance of EP40 regaining his mojo. However, Brian Burke, a former Stanley Cup-winning general manager and a multi-time president of hockey operations, feels that a trade is inevi...
3 Philadelphia Flyers Not Expected Back Next Season
The Philadelphia Flyers made the Pittsburgh Penguins look funny in their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series, and now in the second round, the Carolina Hurricanes are feeding them their lunch.

There's going to be significant roster changes coming for the Flyers, and here's three players who aren't expected back next season: Rasmus Rist...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs' trade focus on two-way defencemen
John Chayka hasn't been on the top for a week yet and already there's been plenty of speculation on what's going on behind the curtains of the Toronto Maple Leafs' front office.

As far as their defence goes...
NHL Trade Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins Making Trade Offers

Kyle Dubas wanted to give the group a chance to go deep in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and next thing you know they got run out of the building by the Philadelphia Flyers.

Don't be surprised to see Malkin wind up with Alex Ovechkin in Washington, as he'll be looking for revenge if Dubas ...
Free-Agent Watch: Edmonton Oilers to sign UFA Bobby McMann
The Edmonton Oilers have less than two years to right the ship, or else captain Connor McDavid is going to leave.

Columbus Blue Jackets moving on from 2 veterans
