Matthew Schaefer 'In No Rush' To Become Islanders' Captain

Matthew Schaefer, the next captain of the New York Islanders? Not so fast.  The Calder Trophy winning defenseman isn't in any rush to wear the 'C' on Long Island, after Anders Lee signed with the Utah Mammoth this summer, and vacated the leadership position. Schaefer's not concerned at all with filling Lee's leadership role. "It would be such an honor (to be captain)," Schaefer told NHL.com at the 12th annual Smilezone Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lionhead Golf Club on Monday. ...

Top Landing Spots For Free Agent Eeli Tolvanen

Eeli Tolvanen remains a free agent deep into the offseason, and is probably one of the five best players still available in the pool. The Seattle Kraken opted not to re-sign the winger, letting him hit the open market on July 1 after he posted 12 goals and 36 points across 78 games while adding a heavy, physical element. The 27-year-old's size and a dip in his shooting percentage last season are among the factors that have kept him unsigned, but his even-strength scoring remains a legit asse...

Flyers GM Looking To Add 'Big-Time Player' For Power Play

The Philadelphia Flyers were stymied in their attempt to land top young center Leo Carlsson after the massive $18M AAV offer sheet they signed him to was matched by the Anaheim Ducks.

Maple Leafs Continue To Discuss Offseason Trades

John Chayka has been a busy man since taking over for Brad Treliving in Toronto, but that doesn't mean the Maple Leafs general manager is anyone close to finished tinkering with his roster.

Top Landing Spots For Free Agent John Klingberg

John Klingberg remains available deep into the offseason, and the veteran puck-moving defenseman could still draw interest from contenders looking to add offense to their blue line. Klingberg just finished a one-year, $4 million deal with the San Jose Sharks, posting 10 goals, 17 assists, and 27 points in 79 games during his healthiest season in years.

Celebrini Says He'll Give Sharks 'A Hometown Discount' On His Extension

After the $18M AAV contract that Leo Carlsson received after the Anaheim Ducks matched the Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet, it's been fair to ask what on earth Carlsson's much more accomplished young contemporary Macklin Celebrini will be worth on his next contract.  ESPN's Greg Wyshynski talked to Celebrini about that, and the young San Jose Sharks superstar said he's willing to go the Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid route and give his team a hometown discount so that they have the fle...
