Breaking: Sundin, Chayka to be introduced as Maple Leafs' leadership duo

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a disastrous regular season and found themselves in a typical postseason scenario: golfing.  With former general manager Brad Treliving being fired, and Keith Pelley asserting himself in the front office, things are changing for the Maple Leafs ahead of the 2026-27 NHL season.  It was reported today by Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun that the Maple Leafs would announce the new arrivals of John Chayka as general manager and former Maple Leaf forward M...

3 Free-Agent Destinations for Evgeni Malkin

Evgeni Malkin's future as a Pittsburgh Penguin is awfully bleak. The future hall-of-famer was noticeably distraught after the Penguins were eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Philadelphia Flyers. After not being an offered a contract extension at all since July 1st, Malkin knows this could be it for him, even though the likes of Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust have essentially begged publicly for Kyle Dubas to re-sign the Russian forward. Malkin's very likely hitting...

McDavid & Draisaitl on Oilers: 'Organization has taken a step back'

The walls are caving in on the Edmonton Oilers. After getting ousted by the Anaheim Ducks in the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Oilers stars Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid addressed the media on Saturday, and frankly, they didn't hold anything back. Both Draisaitl and McDavid took accountability to not leading the team to the promised land, but they were also very blunt in their assessment of management, and the organization as a whole, stating the entire organization has taken a ...

Does it Make Sense For the Chicago Blackhawks To Keep Former 30-Goal Scorer?

The Chicago Blackhawks have one of the hottest prospect pools in the NHL .  Ranked the best pool in the league by Scott Wheeler of The Athletic, the team has seen talent trickle into the lineup at the end of the season that could be game changers in the future.  One of those players was the Swedish-born forward, Anton Frondell, selected 3rd overall in 2025 by the Blackhawks. The prospect made the bold claim that his game is comparable to Stanley Cup winner Aleksandr Barkov.  As ...

Mitch Marner doing it all for Vegas Golden Knights

Look away, Leafs Nation - Mitch Marner had himself a career night in Game 6 of a Stanley Cup Playoff series. The Vegas Golden Knights forward scored two goals and added one assist, including the game winner, to help lead his team to a first-round playoff series win over the Utah Mammoth. Marner had yet to score a goal in the series heading into Game 6, but had been doing it all, in all three zones, something a lot of fans don't necessarily realize. With all of Marner's struggles in deciding pl...

Could Sergei Bobrovsky join Edmonton Oilers this offseason?

The Edmonton Oilers are going to look at creative ways to upgrade their goaltending heading into next season, as they've become one step closer to Connor McDavid leaving with their recent Stanley Cup Playoff exit. Connor Ingram is a free agent, and while he filled in admirably throughout the season, he fell short of getting the job done for the Oil. Tristan Jarry struggled with inconsistent play throughout his first half-season in Edmonton, and while he's under contract for a couple more years...

5 Offseason Targets Linked To Red Wings

Steve Yzerman did not mince words at his season-ending media availability last week. "We need better players," the Detroit Red Wings GM said. "We need to improve specifically in certain areas. We can talk about goal scoring. We need to improve in that area, particularly five-on-five." Ten consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance will sharpen a man's language, and Yzerman was not sugar-coating what he saw in his own roster. Elliotte Friedman said on the 32 Thoughts podcast that pe...

3 Utah Mammoth Who Won't Be Back Next Season

Despite the success this season, there's going to be some roster changes in Utah. GM Bill Armstrong will be involved at the NHL Draft, looking for immediate talent to help his club next season. Expect to see Armstrong spend right ...

NHL Rumors: 3 Free-Agent Destinations for Oilers' Connor Murphy

Connor Murphy is a notable pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) heading into the offseason.

Due to this, let's look at three teams that could sign Murphy during the offseason if he tests the market.  Boston Bruins  It is no secret that one of...

Evgeny Malkin Makes Stunning Admission at Penguins Exit Interview

All season long, we heard speculation about whether or not Evgeni Malkin would play another year for the Pittsburgh Penguins , or decide to retire after 20 years. At the team's exit interviews for the season on Friday, the 39-year-old dropped a bombshell admission, saying he wanted to play next season—for Pittsburgh or any other team that would have him.  As Dan Kingerski noted in Pittsburgh Hockey Now , Malkin has played an evasive game with the Penguins and their fans about whether or n...

Report: Maple Leafs Rejected by Heated Rival in Bid To Hire Their GM

The Toronto Maple Leafs , by all accounts, seem to have settled on their new hockey operations team. However, according to insider Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast, MLSE initially had its sights set much higher.  James Mirtle in The Athletic had a line about Toronto being turned down to speak to a current general manager. I believe that was Julien BriseBois of the Tampa Bay Lightning. That's who I think they asked permission to speak to, and they were rejected.  But of co...

The Edmonton Oilers were outmatched by the Anaheim Ducks in six games, and after going to the Stanley Cup Final two years in a row, the Oil are out in the first round. There's going to be significant changes to the roster this offseason, as Stan Bowman has no choice but to shuffle things up, or else Connor McDavid is going to demand out, and the ship will then sink. Bowman made several moves throughout the regular season, but unfortunately, wasn't able to address the areas of the team that sto...

Blues' Dylan Holloway Speaks Out On RFA Status

Dylan Holloway made his position clear on the St. Louis Blues when he shared his thoughts on his upcoming free agency. "It was kind of wild two years ago," Holloway said, referencing the offer sheet that brought him from Edmonton to St. Louis in the summer of 2024.

Marcus Foligno of the Minnesota Wild Calls Out the Stars' Jamie Benn In Public

  The Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild first-round series has been a competitive matchup in the Western Conference. With Jesper Wallstedt in the net and a deep forward group, the Wild have maintained their composure, unlike Jamie Benn. The Stars would trail the Wild for the majority of game five, as a goal scored by fourth-line forward Michael McCaron would put the team two goals ahead, 3-1, in the third. Tensions would boil over, as Benn cross-checked Ryan Hartman first in the ribs, and t...

One Maple Leafs Front Office Exec Likely Gone if Chayka Hired
