NHL Rumors: 3 Free Agent Destinations for Bobby McMann

After a career year in 2025-26, Bobby McMann is setting himself up to land a big payday this offseason.

Chicago Blackhawks  The Blackhawks desperately need to add more scoring to their top six if they hope to be more competitive next season. When noting that McMann just put together a 29-goal season, it ...

NHL Rumors: Bruins Linked To Obvious Move This Offseason

The Boston Bruins held exit meetings Sunday at Warrior Ice Arena, and the conversation around their defense corps was not a comfortable one. Boston was eliminated in six games by the Buffalo Sabres, a result that exposed a defensive unit that struggled all season and then collapsed when the stakes were highest. The Bruins allowed 4.0 expected all-situations goals per 60 minutes against Buffalo, per Natural Stat Trick, the second-worst mark in the first round behind only the Ottawa Senators...

3 Free-Agent Destinations for Lightning's Darren Raddysh

After a monster season that saw him record 22 goals and 70 points in 73 games, Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh is set to land him a big payday this offseason. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to sign Raddysh if the Bolts do not re-sign him.  Toronto Maple Leafs  The Maple Leafs need another right-shot defenseman, so it would not be surprising if they looked to add Raddysh in free agency. He has already been connected to the Leafs in the past and wo...

Vancouver Canucks forward Jake DeBrusk is one of the top trade candidates to watch this offseason.  Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to acquire DeBrusk during the summer.  Los Angeles Kings  The Kings could be a team to watch when it comes to DeBrusk this offseason. It is clear that they need to add another scorer to the middle six, and bringing in a veteran forward like DeBrusk would provide them with just that.  New Jersey Devils  One...

3 Trade Destinations for Flames' Blake Coleman

Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman is a prime trade candidate to watch this offseason. With the Flames rebuilding, it would not be surprising to see him on the move.  Due to this, let's look at three potential landing spots for Coleman.  Ottawa Senators  The Senators could be a team to keep an eye on when it comes to Coleman this offseason. There is no question that they could use more secondary offensive production and grit in their top nine, so it would make sense for them t...

Insider Asks If Kucherov Could Become Trade Candidate This Summer

It was a disappointing finish to the season for the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team many pundits around the sport predicted to come out of the Eastern Conference. Instead, a frustrating 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in Game 7 of the first round (despite outshooting them 29-9) has left many questions facing the Bolts as they head into the offseason.  Perhaps one question we didn't see coming, though, comes to us from insider Pierre LeBrun , who asks in The Athletic, if the Hart Trophy con...

3 Maple Leafs Who Could Be Traded This Summer

The Toronto Maple Leafs have now entered the John Chayka/Mats Sundin era. What a time to be alive in Leafs Nation. The management duo was introduced at a press conference in Toronto on Monday, and it's obvious there's been a lot of pushback from opposing teams around the league over hiring Chayka back into a GM position, and for Sundin, it's certainly a huge risk to his legacy as a Leaf. Heading into the offseason, there's going to be significant change coming to the Maple Leafs roster, which ...

Senators' Ridly Greig Suspended To Start Next Season

The Ottawa Senators' season ended last week, not quite the way they had hoped. A four-game sweep at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes sent the Senators home to stew for the summer.  Now, just to add a little insult to injury, the NHL has suspended forward Ridly Greig for two games to start next season for sucker punching the Canes' Sean Walker in the final game of the series.   Ottawa’s Ridly Greig has been suspended for two regular season games for roughing Carolina’s Sean W...

Video: Reporter Blasts Maple Leafs For Hiring of GM John Chayka—'Con Artist', 'Liar'

Wow. After weeks of "due diligence" to come up with their new general manager, MLSE President Keith Pelley probably didn't expect a question like this at the big news conference to introduce John Chayka (and Mats Sundin).  Reporter Steve Simmons stood up at the media event and told Pelley, with Chayka seated beside him, that 19 of 20 prominent NHL people Simmons talked to called the hiring "a sham" and referred to Chayka as a "con artist", a "liar" and "salesman." Toronto is hockey cinema...

Vancouver Canucks Interview Pierre Dorion For GM Job

The Vancouver Canucks ' GM search added a big name when TSN's Darren Dreger reported that Pierre Dorion was in Vancouver last week and has interviewed for the organization's vacant general manager position. Dorion, 53, spent eight seasons as GM of the Ottawa Senators from 2016 through 2023 and has been out of the league since his dismissal following the organization's role in the invalidated Evgenii Dadonov trade, which cost Ottawa a first-round pick and a $1M fine. He is now the only cand...

Senators Know Exactly What They Are Looking To Add This Offseason

The Ottawa Senators were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and GM Steve Staios enters the offseason with a clear and specific list of things he wants to address. Near the top of that list, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun , is a reliable backup goaltender. Staios intends to go shopping for one this summer. James Reimer, who signed with Ottawa midway through the season after clearing a professional tryout with the Toronto Maple Leafs...

NHL Rumors: 3 Free-Agent Destinations for Oilers' Jack Roslovic

Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to sign Roslovic during the summer. New Jersey Devils  The Devils could be a team to watch if Roslovic ends up hitting the market. They need more secondary offensive productio...

NHL Rumors: 3 Seattle Kraken Trade Candidates to Watch

The Seattle Kraken struggled in a major way down the stretch this season and missed the playoffs because of it. With the Kraken having another bad season, it would not be surprising in the slightest if we see shake up their roster this offseason.

Bruins' Viktor Arvidsson Reveals Double-Injury Mess That Knocked Him Out of Playoffs

After scoring two goals in Game 2 of their first-round series to help the Boston Bruins to a win, Victor Arvidsson was forced out of the lineup for the final two games against the Buffalo Sabres in Boston's six-game series defeat.  He's now revealed that he suffered two pretty tough injuries on the same play: a fractured rib and a punctured lung.  Viktor Arvidsson dealt with a fractured rib and punctured lung that held him out of Games 5 and 6.

3 Potential Trade Destinations for Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to name a new management regime on Monday, and with John Chayka and Mats Sundin leading the charge, don't be surprised to see them use the team's goaltending depth to make a trade, and help reallocate some resources on the Leafs' roster.

He's five years younger than Anthony Stolarz, has two years left on his contract at just $3.6 million AAV, and his limited no-tra...

Edmonton Oilers GM: 'We Need Some New Players'

The Edmonton Oilers need to retool on the fly. After both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid met with the media over the weekend, it's become obvious that things need to change in a hurry for the Oilers.
