Report: Montreal Canadiens Mulling Over Multiple Trade Offers

Insider Explains What Really Drove Brady Tkachuk Out Of Ottawa
Brady Tkachuk's exit from Ottawa this offseason didn't come out of nowhere, but even those closest to him say they didn't see it coming. Speaking on DLLS Stars , the show's host spoke on the strangeness of it. "This team went through, I was just saying this, it almost went through like what the Buffalo Sabres went through, except for less, because the playoff drought wasn't 14 years... And now you have Brady Tkachuk gone. What happened? Why did they feel, other, obviously, Tkachuk said he was ...
Insider Predicts Connor Hellebuyck Trade To Atlantic Division Team
The Connor Hellebuyck trade speculation is far from dead, but two big voices in the conversation aren't reading the situation the same way right now. On NHL Network, EJ Hradek made his position clear. "I'm of the mind he's going to get traded. I'm of the mind I think he's going to get traded to Buffalo," Hradek said. "But as you like to say, Elliotte, there's no pressure right now, right? Like we're in early August, so I think they're bickering about what the price is. As we get closer, maybe ...
Blackhawks GM Reveals He Asked Bedard Before Patrick Kane Signing
Before the Chicago Blackhawks brought Patrick Kane back into the fold, GM Kyle Davidson made sure his franchise centerpiece was on board first. Speaking on CHGO Blackhawks, Davidson revealed he specifically talked to Connor Bedard about the idea of signing Kane before it happened.

Stanley Cup Champion Dustin Byfuglien's Joke At A Fishing Tournament
Dustin Byfuglien , a one-time Stanley Cup champion, made a stunning admission this week. The now-retired tough-guy played for three teams (Atlanta Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, and Chicago Blackhawks ) during his NHL career and won a Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks during their dynastic run beginning in 2009-10. Byfuglien was never known for his scoring abilities, but came close to 20-goal seasons multiple times, and never put up more than 40+ points during an NHL season. "...
Patrik Laine Is NOT A Fit For Maple Leafs: NHL Analyst
Word began to spread last week that unsigned free agent Patrik Laine still had five teams with potential interest in bringing him in. One of those five that was listed by Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette , happened to be the Toronto Maple Leafs .

Cale Makar Extension Questions Emerge
The NHL's salary structure has broken into new dizzying heights this summer, thanks to the Leo Carlsson $18 million offer sheet and subsequent matching by the Anaheim Ducks. We have since seen an $18.8 million AAV deal signed by Macklin Celebrini. So who's next to break the mold and set a new high for an NHL contract? It certainly could be Cale Makar, the Colorado Avalanche 's dynamic defenseman and annual Norris Trophy candidate. He's been eligible to sign an extension since July 1st, b...
3 Maple Leafs Most Likely To Be Traded
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka is known as being someone who loves to wheel and deal, and early on in his tenure as Leafs GM, he's shown that narrative is 100% accurate. Chayka's made some significant changes to the Maple Leafs roster in three short months, and while for now it appears their team is set heading into training camp, expect to see Chayka active during the season, tinkering with his lineup via trade. Here's three Maple Leafs who are most likely to be traded this s...
Detroit Red Wings Reject Multiple Trade Offers
The Detroit Red Wings are putting their feet in the sand and standing still, holding firm on their trade demands for captain Dylan Larkin. The trade talks have been ongoing since the end of last season, and frankly, they haven't been very close to a deal at all so far this summer. Despite not having a general manager, the Red Wings management team continues to have Larkin's name in trade dialogue, but have recently been telling teams they won't settle for less than a top-line, proven, NHL-tale...
3 Los Angeles Kings Most Likely To Be Traded
The Los Angeles Kings are a team to watch heading into next season. The Kings are expected to sit in the middle, and aren't necessarily a contending team in 2026-27, so they could be a very important team come trade deadline time. The Kings are without Anze Kopitar this season, as the franchise great announced his retirement. The Kings haven't really done a good enough job replacing Kopitar up front, and with several question marks throughout their lineup, it could be a long season in southern...

Insider Says Dallas Still Believes In Zach Werenski Deal
Zach Werenski already said no to the Dallas Stars once. According to at least one insider, that isn't the end of the story. Asked by Keith Kavanaugh whether he thinks a Stars deal for Werenski is off the table, Jeff Marek's answer was: 'Nope, I don't.' How This Started The reigning Norris Trophy winner informed the Columbus Blue Jackets he wouldn't sign another contract with the team once his current deal expires after 2027-28. That set off a scramble, and on the eve of free agency, ...
Insider Links Canadiens To Two Big Right-Shot Defensemen
The Montreal Canadiens ' search for a big, right-shot defenseman didn't end when last season's trade deadline passed, and two names have emerged as the targets. Per Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , Montreal was tied to both Philadelphia's Rasmus Ristolainen and a since-traded Brandon Carlo around the deadline. "The defenseman that the Canadiens have been searching for, a big right shot guy, we heard them tied to Rasmus Ristolainen or maybe even a Brandon Carlo at the deadline," Di Marco said...
Baseball Executive Named As Intriguing Candidate for Red Wings’ Hockey Ops Boss
The Detroit Red Wings have ramped up their search for a new hockey boss to replace Steve Yzerman. There have been plenty of recognizable names listed as candidates thus far, but insider Elliotte Friedman has an intriguing new name with an interesting background to tell us about as the Wings continue their search for a general manager: It might not necessarily be a traditional 'hockey person' as we've come to define them. It might be different... There's one name I want to mention because ...
Carolina Hurricanes Advancing On Trade Talks Involving Alexander Nikishin
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman , the Hurricanes have been listening to trade offers to see what kind of creative deals they could come up with to make their team better for next season, and beyond.

Dominic James Named Tampa Bay Lightning's Next Breakout Candidate
The Chicago Blackhawks foolishly let a future NHL player slide through the ranks, as the Tampa Bay Lightning scooped up forward Dominic James. GM Julien Brisebois of the Lightning would sign him to a two-year, entry-level contract that expires at the conclusion of the 2026-27 season. Of course, James wasn't willing to sign in Chicago, which begs the question: how well was GM Kyle Davidson managing his prospect pool? Not well enough. Good question by @ByScottPowers to Mark Eaton ...
3 New York Rangers Trade Candidates Heading Into Next Season
The New York Rangers have made some drastic roster changes these past few months, and word is, general manager Chris Drury isn't finished tinkering with his roster. The Rangers remain one of the teams in the mushy-middle of the NHL, and will need to figure out what their best form of direction is moving forward. Drury has moved out some big names and tried to reshape the core of his roster, but frankly, isn't finished making significant trades. If the Rangers don't start strong next season, Dr...
Report: Quinn Hughes likely leaving Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild are between a rock and a hard place, and it's a terrible position to be in when your best defenceman is without a contract for next season. Quinn Hughes is the talk of the town at the moment, as we're six weeks into him being eligible to sign a contract extension, and so far, there's hardly even extension talks on the table. Hughes isn't in any rush to sign a long-term deal to stay in Minny, and many around the league feel if it gets to the season opener, he's going to make ...
Report: Maple Leafs interested in free-agent Patrik Laine
We're into the second week of August, and the Patrik Laine sweepstakes are heating up. Multiple reports have surfaced stating Laine is gaining steam on the free-agent market, and there's a few teams who have made contact of late, including the Toronto Maple Leafs. Laine is coming off a down season littered with injuries, but after last season, admitted it was the Montreal Canadiens organization that was holding him out, as he was healthy enough to re-join the team in January. Laine only played...
