Evgeny Kuznetsov Makes Big Decision After 2 Years Out Of NHL
Former first-round pick and Stanley Cup Playoffs scoring leader Evegeny Kuznetsov hasn't played in the NHL for the last two seasons, but there was some thought this summer that he was ready to return to North America at age 34. That will not, in fact, be the case, as he has now signed a free agent deal once again to stay in the KHL for the coming season. 🚨 CONFIRMED: Evgeny Kuznetsov to Sibir on a 1-year deal. GM Lev Krutokhvostov: "For us, Evgeny is an experienced master. He'll bring creativi...
Detroit Red Wings Making Significant Demands In Dylan Larkin Trade Talks
The Detroit Red Wings organization is going through some drastic changes, and when it comes to captain Dylan Larkin's trade demands, the Red Wings are digging their feet in the mud, and playing some significant hard ball. With Steve Yzerman moving into an advisor role, and the search for a new general manager ongoing, the trade talks around Larkin haven't slowed down at all. In fact, they've picked up of late, and it turns out the Red Wings won't even entertain a trade unless they receive a fi...
Los Angeles Kings retiring Anze Kopitar's No.11, unveil bronze statue
Anze Kopitar is Los Angeles Kings' royalty, and later on this season, he's going to receive his flowers, and feel the love from the organization, and the fan base. The Kings have announced they will retire Kopitar's No.11 and unveil a bronze statue for the franchise cornerstone on February 24, 2027, against the Montreal Canadiens. Kopitar announced his retirement towards the end of last season, and feels it's surreal to see the organization honor him so soon after his playing days. To have my ...
3 Dallas Stars Trade Candidates Heading Into Next Season
The Dallas Stars have had quite the interesting offseason, and heading into the 2026-27 NHL season, it would be wise to circle them as a team to watch on the trade market. General manager Jim Nill tried hard this offseason to trade prolific scorer Jason Robertson. First it was the Seattle Kraken and Robertson nixed the deal. Then, Nill had a deal in place to move Robertson to the St. Louis Blues, and that was all for not as well, as Robertson told St. Louis he wouldn't sign a long-term contrac...
Insider: Blue Jackets & Adam Fantilli Have A Challenge Coming Together On Extension
There are still a couple of massive contracts that could drop this offseason, and one of them belongs to Columbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli. While the 21-year-old has watched his contemporaries like Leo Carlsson and Connor Bedard sign massive breakthrough extensions this summer, the Jackets' restricted free agent is still without a deal. Carlsson pulled in an $18 million AAV after the Philadelphia Flyers offer sheeted him that amount, and the Anaheim Ducks matched it. On the heel...
Insider Names ‘Pressure Point’ When Real Concern Sets In on Quinn Hughes in Minnesota
The word has been going around the NHL of late, that the so-called sure-fire re-signing of Quinn Hughes with the Minnesota Wild has gone from "when", to "if." But has panic set in yet in Minny? Maybe in some quarters, though insider Elliotte Friedman said on NHL Network that there's a specific 'pressure point' when the real concern will start to take hold. "I will worry about this if it's not done by the start of the season." 😳 @FriedgeHNIC stopped by #NHLTonight to provide the lat...
5 Teams Listed As Trade Fits For Hurricanes D-Man Nikishin
The buzz continues around Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin. The big 24-year-old Russian just completed his first NHL season and has a Stanley Cup ring to show for it. But as a restricted free agent, he is currently without a contract, and it sounds like he might not be long for the Hurricanes. Insider Elliotte Friedman tells us that we need to keep an eye on this situation as we get closer to training camp next month. Looks like @FriedgeHNIC has come out of hibernation t...
Expect Major Changes To NHL Teams EBUG Situations In 2026-27 Due To CBA
The Toronto Maple Leafs Zamboni driver, David Ayers , made a name for himself during the 2019-20 season. After the Carolina Hurricanes goalie James Reimer left the game due to an injury, and subsequently, Petr Mrazek would suffer a collision with Kyle Clifford, Ayers received a chance to change the course of the game. He'd step onto the ice midway into the second period and help deliver a win for the Carolina Hurricanes against the team he worked for. The Hurricanes won 6-3, in wha...
Maple Leafs Open To Trading 3 Players Off Current Roster
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had quite the offseason, as general manager John Chayka has been cooking since day one on the job. The Leafs have also had some serious luck go their way, with winning the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes, and now heading into Chayka's first season at the helm, the expectations have climbed significantly. Chayka loves to wheel and deal, perhaps more than any other GM in the league, and he's already pulled off some significant trades, moving Joseph Woll, Simon Benoit, Bran...
Free-Agent Logan Stanley Linked To Sign With 1 Of 4 Teams
Towering defenceman Logan Stanley is one of the rare cases this summer where someone fumbled their bag. Stanley had chances to sign contracts early on during free agency, and held out for better options, only to find himself unsigned on August 8th. Stanley is the best defenceman left on the free-agent market, the only problem is, now he'll have to settle for someone less money wise, and term wise on his next contract. The big blueliner is coming off his best all around season, and despite a tr...
3 Vancouver Canucks Trade Candidates Heading Into Next Season
The Vancouver Canucks struggled last season and rightfully so, they've made significant changes to their front office, and expect to see some more roster changes happening over the next couple of months. The Canucks ended up losing out on the top pick of the NHL Draft, despite having the best odds to win the lottery. They'll head into next season with a ton of question marks regarding their roster, and there's a few players to keep an eye on when it comes to the trade market. Here's three Canu...
Canucks Urged To Sign One Of Last Big Free Agents
Eeli Tolvanen remains unsigned more than five weeks into free agency, and the Vancouver Canucks are being pushed to be the ones who finally sign him. Per Ryan Clark of The Hockey Writers , the Canucks should be targeting Tolvanen to help address one of the worst offenses in the league. Vancouver scored more goals than only the Calgary Flames last season, and Clark projected Tolvanen's next deal at two years, $7.2 million, a number the Canucks can easily absorb. Per PuckPedia , Vancouve...
Surprising Team Likely Out On Shane Wright Trade
A Shane Wright trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins had real momentum earlier this summer. It doesn't anymore. Per Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now , the Pittsburgh Penguins trading for Wright "seems highly improbable," a shift that traces back to two developments: a roster move Pittsburgh already made, and a price tag Seattle refuses to come down on. "The Kraken are believed to have asked the Vancouver Canucks for Tom Willander or Zeev Buium in return for Wright," the outlet reported. "Th...
Canadiens GM Confirms Trade Is Coming
Kent Hughes keeps pushing back his own deadline. Montreal Canadiens general manager told reporters after the trade deadline that a deal was coming, just not on any fixed schedule. "He said it could be July. That didn't happen. Could be August. He said it could be September. It could be October. It could be November," the outlet reported, before adding Hughes' own framing of the situation. "There's a lot of things that can still happen between now and the start of the season," Hughes said, ac...

Evander Kane Receiving Free Agent Interest From Surprising Location
After 16 NHL seasons, it appears that rugged forward Evander Kane may have played his last game in North America. The unrestricted free agent hasn't received many bites around the NHL this offseason. However, a contending team in Russia does have interest in the 35-year-old. Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL is considering signing Kane, according to Sport Express , a Russian publication. The club made it to the KHL Finals last season. Kane actually has tried his hand in Russia before, playing 12 ...
UFA Patrik Laine Linked To 5 Teams
Patrik Laine remains one of the top options on the UFA market for teams looking for an offensive boost for their lineups. The seven-time 20-goal scorer and former 2nd overall pick in the NHL Draft will have to take a massive pay cut, as he's coming off his $8.7 million AAV contract. The Montreal Canadiens don't seem the least bit interested in bringing him back, after Laine played just five games for them last year, due to injury, and then their reluctance to add him back to the roster f...
New Team Linked to UFA Vladimir Tarasenko
Things have gone quiet recently on the Vladimir Tarasenko front on the free agent market. The UFA has been linked to several teams throughout the offseason, from the incumbent Minnesota Wild, to the Edmonton Oilers to the Ottawa Senators. Now we can add another Canadian team to the mix, as Jimmy Murphy and Shayne Gaumond speculated on The Sick Podcast this week that the Montreal Canadiens would be a perfect fit for the nine-time 20-goal scorer. Should the #GoHabsGo give...
New Jersey Devils continue to be linked to Quinn Hughes trade
The New Jersey Devils are keeping a very close eye on Minnesota Wild defenceman Quinn Hughes. Hughes has yet to sign a contract extension with the Wild, after they gave up a four-piece mega-deal to the Vancouver Canucks last season to acquire the Norris Trophy winning defenceman. It's no secret that Quinn prefers playing hockey in New Jersey with his two brothers, but many across the industry were wondering how exactly they were going to pull it off. From the looks of it now, the Devils may g...
4 Free-Agent Destinations for David Perron
The NHL's free-agent market has dried up considerably as we are in the middle of the dog days of summer, but that doesn't mean there isn't some solid veteran talent still looking for a contract. Winger David Perron continues to sit without work for next season, as he's surprisingly hasn't signed a new deal. Perron spent last season split between the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators, posting 13 goals and 28 points in 65 combined games. Perron remains one of the better free agents available...
Detroit Red Wings Reject Minnesota Wild Trade Offer
The Minnesota Wild have spent the majority of the summer trying to acquire Dylan Larkin from the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings captain went to management at the end of last season and made it clear he's not interested in sticking around Motown long term, and listed four teams he'd be willing to be traded to. The Wild were among Larkin's preferred suitors, and so far, Wild general manager Bill Guerin hasn't been able to convince first off Steve Yzerman, and now the rest of the Red Wings' man...

Columbus Blue Jackets Announce ECHL Afilliate
The Columbus Blue Jackets haven't had a relationship with an ECHL team since 2023, when their affiliation extended with the Kalamazoo Wings for the 2022-203 season . That relationship with the K-Wings would be torched quickly, as the following season the team would sign a deal with the Vancouver Canucks. Today, the team announced their partnership with the ECHL's Wheeling Nailers , with whom they signed a two-year deal through the 2027-28 season. The Club released a statement today detai...
