3 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Trade Candidates
The Detroit Red Wings have been struggling big time down the stretch and find themselves on the wrong side of the playoff line with the end of the season almost here. If they end up missing the playoffs, they should be making some moves this summer. Due to this, let's look at three Red Wings who could be traded during the 2026 NHL offseason. Alex DeBrincat DeBrincat could be a player to keep an eye on as a trade candidate this offseason. If contract extension talks do not go well b...
4 St. Louis Blues Offseason Trade Candidates
The St. Louis Blues will undoubtedly be a team to watch very closely during the summer. They kicked off their rebuild ahead of the deadline, as they traded Brayden Schenn and Justin Faulk. Yet, the Blues should have multiple more moves on the way during the summer. Because of this, let's take a look at four Blues who could be on the move this offseason. Robert Thomas, C Thomas was the NHL's biggest trade candidate leading up to the deadline, but ended up staying put. The Blues are expect...
3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Patrick Kane
The Detroit Red Wings' epic collapse during the final portion of the season will likely lead to them making several changes to their roster this summer. With this, it is fair to wonder if Detroit won't sign pending UFA Patrick Kane to a contract extension. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to sign Kane if he hits the free-agent market this offseason. Buffalo Sabres The Sabres are finally good, and it is fair to wonder if Kane could finally head home to Buffalo ...
Is This the Beginning of the End for Mark Stone in Vegas?
Nick Kypreos raised an uncomfortable question on Sportsnet last week. With Mark Stone turning 34 in May and sitting on the final year of his contract, Kypreos said people around the league are already wondering whether Stone can play next season at all, and whether he might be headed toward the same situation as Alex Pietrangelo, who has been on season-ending long-term injured reserve since last summer with no timeline for a return. That comparison is going to alarm Vegas Golden Kn...
Adam Foote's Coaching Job in Vancouver 'A Cause for Internal Concern'
The Vancouver Canucks season has not gone well, to say the least. How much of it can be placed at the feet of first-year head coach Adam Foote? That is the big question facing Canucks management as the season winds down in the coming week. How disastrous has the Canucks' season been? They won't even reach double-digits in wins at home. They are 8-27-5 at Rogers Arena, with just one game to play there. Overall, at 22-47-8 for 52 points, they're dead last in the entire NHL—by nearly 20 points!—i...
Predators Rejected In Bid To Speak with Canadian Team's Executive for GM Role
The Nashville Predators continue their search for a new general manager. But one of the candidates they had hoped to interview is off limits. The Vancouver Canucks have rejected a bid by the Preds to speak with their assistant GM and current GM of the AHL's Abbotsford Canucks, Ryan Johnson. What changes are coming in Vancouver? Everything is fluid. 1 thing I was told is the Canucks denied Nashville permission to talk with Abbotsford Canucks GM Ryan Johnson. We will have more on the show. @Donn...
Ron Francis Is Finished in Seattle
He was the Seattle Kraken's first-ever GM from its inaugural season in 2021-22, and has served as President of Hockey Operations for the past year. Now, hockey legend Ron Francis is leaving his post with the Kraken at the end of the season. The #SeaKraken announced today that Ron Francis will be stepping down from his role as President of Hockey Operations at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. We wish Ron & his family all the best → https://t.co/Qcoy4T49HX pic.twitter.com/rDZgBt...
What Do The Buffalo Sabres Have In Store For Pending UFA Alex Tuch?
Alex Tuch has been a key player in the Buffalo Sabres lineup. They found themselves in a playoff spot this season, with his contributions pushing the needle along the way. Tuch, this season, has scored 30 goals and 62 points in 75 games under head coach Lindy Ruff. Tuch, a fixture on the Sabres' top-six , has been one of the team's most consistent forwards since he arrived in trade in 2021-22. His seven-year, $4.75 million average annual value contract ends at the conclusion...
Ovechkin Opens Up on Retirement Talk
It's been hanging out there all season long—Will he or won't he? The thought of the legendary Alex Ovechkin hanging up the skates has been plaguing the Washington Capitals and hockey fans everywhere. He was asked about it again, point-blank, in an interview that airs today on the Capitals pre-game show. Alex Ovechkin sat down with John Walton to discuss his plans to take time after the season to reflect and consult with his family before determining his future this summer. Catch their fu...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Kraken's Jared McCann
After losing each of their last five games and nine out of their last 10 contests, the Seattle Kraken's playoff hopes are essentially crushed. With how poorly they are finishing off the season, it would not be surprising if they make multiple changes to their roster this offseason. One player on the Kraken who should be watched as a trade candidate is forward Jared McCann. The 29-year-old forward has been in the rumor mill before and will be entering the final year of his deal in 2026-26...
Top 4 Priorities for New Devils GM This Offseason
The New Jersey Devils are currently engaged in a search for a new head of hockey operations and general manager after letting Tom Fitzgerald go earlier this week. Whoever they bring in will have a whole lot of work ahead of them in getting this team back on track. The Devils have now missed the playoffs in 11 of the last 14 years, since their last Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 2012. Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com has suggested a list of top priority items that the...
3 Philadelphia Flyers Potential Offseason Goalie Targets
The Philadelphia Flyers should be looking to add another backup or 1B goalie this offseason. Samuel Ersson has struggled as the team's backup this season, as evidenced by his .867 save percentage and his 3.15 goals-against average in 31 games this season. Due to this, let's look at three goalies who the Flyers should consider targeting this summer to form a strong tandem with Dan Vladar. Stuart Skinner, Pittsburgh Penguins If the Penguins do not re-sign Skinner, he is a...
3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Evander Kane
With the Vancouver Canucks rebuilding, it is unlikely that forward Evander Kane will be back with them next season. The 34-year-old winger is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and should generate interest if he hits the market. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to sign Kane this summer. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning should be looking to add to their forward depth this offseason. Their bottom six could use a boost, and Kane would provide the...
Maple Leafs Make Controversial Hiring In GM Search
The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't hired a new GM yet, but they've already managed to create controversy. Toronto retained Neil Glasberg and The Coaches Agency to help run the search for their next head of hockey operations, and people noticed something almost immediately: Sunny Mehta, Florida's assistant general manager and one of the more talked-about candidates for the job, is a Glasberg client. The same person managing Toronto's search also represents one of the people being consi...
Could Red Wings Trade Alex Debrincat If They Miss the Playoffs?
The Detroit Red Wings are in serious danger of missing the playoffs for the tenth time in ten years, and the question of what comes next is already starting to surface. Matt Marchese brought it to Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet's The FAN Hockey Show this week: if Detroit misses the postseason again and decides something has to change, would they consider moving Alex DeBrincat? "The hardest thing to do in this league is score," Friedman said. "The first thing you do when you trade a guy l...
Report: Maple Leafs to trade Morgan Rielly
Expect some big roster changes for the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, and it starts with defenceman Morgan Rielly. The longest-tenured Maple Leaf has been all over the place this season, and has been one of the many reasons Toronto hasn't reached expectations. Rielly's inconsistent play defensively has led to several turning points in games, and with a much needed culture change on deck for the Maple Leafs, reports have surfaced stating the team is ready to move on. Nick Kypreos: Re Morgan R...
Avalanche's Nazem Kadri leaves game vs. Blues with upper-body injury
Talk about terrible timing for the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs were taking on the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night, and center Nazem Kadri took a shot off the hand, and had to leave the game with an upper-body injury. Colorado won the game 3-1 over the Blues, but Kadri left in midway through the game, and now the team is holding their breath that his hand, wrist, or finger isn't broken. Losing Kadri two weeks before the Stanley Cup Playoffs would be a massive blow to the Avs' dressing room. He...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Blues' Jordan Binnington
The St. Louis Blues started their re-tool this season, and heading into this offseason, expect to see major changes continue for their roster. Whether it's Doug Armstrong in charge, or Alex Steen, the Blues are changing up the core of their roster, and we've already seen Colton Parayko almost dealt, Justin Faulk and Brayden Schenn moved, and in the offseason, expect to see goaltender Jordan Binnington moved. Binnington, 32, has one year left on his contract at $6 million AAV. He owns a 10-team...
Canucks To Trade Jake DeBrusk This Summer
Back at the trade deadline, Jake DeBrusk told anyone who'd listen that he wasn't interested in being part of a rebuild. He wanted out of Vancouver, and the Canucks were trying to oblige. Unfortunately, at the time, there was no interest around the league. It's quite likely that will change in the summer. Teams that are looking for an offensive boost in their middle six will look at that $5.5 million cap hit, and figure that's about as reasonable as it gets in the new cap environme...
Shocking Update on Senators' Injured D-Man Thomas Chabot
It was only a week and a half ago that the Ottawa Senators got devastating news for their playoff push: Defenseman Thomas Chabot was expected to be out six-to-eight weeks with a broken arm. But in a stunning update on Tuesday, Chabot was there on the ice at practice with the Sens. Thomas Chabot is at practice for the first time since breaking his forearm. He’s wearing a yellow non-contact jersey. pic.twitter.com/mobISDfDh2 — Alex Adams (@alexadamsBTP_) April 7, 2026 Sure, he was we...
Sheldon Keefe Says His Job is on the Line At Season’s End
The New Jersey Devils no longer have a president of hockey operations or general manager, but that hasn't stopped the team from leaving head coach Sheldon Keefe believing that his job is seriously in jeopardy. Of course, the speculation that Keefe could be done shouldn't come as any surprise after this poor Devils season. But now the head coach has admitted that he'll be under the gun as soon as the season ends. Sheldon Keefe confirms he’s been told he’ll be under evaluation at sea...
LA Kings To Bring In NCAA Leading Goal Scorer This Summer
The Los Angeles Kings have improved slightly of late in the goal-scoring department, but despite the addition of Artemi Panarin, putting the biscuit in the basket is still something the team will be looking to improve on significantly for next season. To that end, they have announced that they are bringing in college hockey's top goal-scorer from the 2025-26 season. Free agent Hayden Stavroff of Dartmouth will be at the Kings Development Camp this summer, as reported by Mayor's Man...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Maple Leafs' Max Domi
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to look much different to start next season, and veteran forward Max Domi is one of the Leafs prime trade candidates. Domi has been inconsistent as ever since he's joined the Maple Leafs, working hard to find a secure role within the lineup, but essentially, Craig Berube hasn't been able to find him a permanent home. Domi's inconsistencies are going to lead to a trade this offseason, even with Domi holding a 13-team no-trade clause. The versatile veteran has t...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly
There's a culture change coming for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and in order to make the drastic changes they need in the dressing room, the team is going to need to move on from defenceman, Morgan Rielly. Rielly's the longest tenured Maple Leaf and with a new general manager, and possibly a new head coach coming in this summer, look for Rielly to be approached about waiving his no-movement clause. Word is Brad Treliving and Rielly spoke at the end of last season in their exit interview and Treli...
3 Offseason Trade Destinations for Canucks' Elias Pettersson
The Vancouver Canucks are officially in a rebuild and will be a big team to watch during the offseason because of it. One of their biggest trade candidates is forward Elias Pettersson, as it is no secret that the 27-year-old is in need of a change of scenery. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire the former 102-point center this summer. Detroit Red Wings The Red Wings desperately need another top-six center, so they could be a team to watch when it comes...
