Will The Blackhawks To Let 1st-Round Pick Walk In July?
The Chicago Blackhawks have made a decision to trade prospect Jack Pridham to the Tampa Bay Lightning . With the forward core being overcrowded, finding a spot in the Blackhawks lineup might be difficult for someone being projected as a third-line forward in the NHL. This follows another tough decision after the Lightning snagged prospect Dominic James beforehand. The wealth of riches has overwhelmed a team that is having trouble signing prospects. Now, the last debacle for ...

Patrik Laine Leaving Montreal Canadiens
The writing is on the wall, Patrik Laine won't be re-signing with the Montreal Canadiens. The former second-overall pick battled some injuries throughout this past season, but admitted to the media on Monday that he was healthy enough to play the last couple of weeks of the regular season and into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it was the team's decision to not dress the prolific goal scorer. Considering how much of a rough time the Habs had generating offense, it's shocking to hear Laine could...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly Open to 5 Trade Destinations

This will result in the Leafs asking veteran defenceman Morgan Rielly for a list of teams he'd approve for the next chapter of his career. All signs are pointing to Rielly and the Maple Leafs heading for a divorce this summer, and there's lots of speculation brewing online that the conversation has already taken place bet...
Former Sabres GMs Ingenuity Shines in Switzerland
The Finnish team won a Gold Medal at the 2026 World Championships in Switzerland, led by a rejuvenated Sasha Barkov.

Ville Heinola is one notable player who scored six points (three goals, three assists) in ten games for Finland. He's an unrestricted free agent who wasn't offered a contract by the team that drafted him.&nbs...
Oilers Trade Rumors: 2 'Speedy Wingers' on Edmonton's Radar in Trade Market
The Edmonton Oilers have some work to do this offseason, as they have, for all intents and purposes, one last kick at the can at convincing Connor McDavid that he should stick around after his two-year extension is up. With that, one of the prime incentives of this offseason will be to land "a speedy, scoring winger for Connor McDavid," writes insider David Pagnotta . He goes on to name names, listing two potential targets. Jeff Marek recently suggested St. Louis Blues winger Jordan Kyro...

NHL Trade Rumors: Senators & Ducks In Advanced Trade Talks
Keep an eye on the Ottawa Senators and Anaheim Ducks this summer as the two teams are rumored to be discussing a huge trade centered around Mason McTavish. The Ducks forward fell out of sorts within the Ducks' lineup throughout the end of the year and was even scratched twice during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Teams took notice, and specifically the Senators, as they have huge ties to McTavish. The 23-year-old center is signed through the 2031 season at $7 million AAV, and doesn't hold any trade...

Report: Devils & Stars Linked to Offseason Blockbuster Deal
Keep an eye on the New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars this summer, as the two teams are aligning to become trade partners. The Stars have pending restricted free-agent forward Jason Robertson who is still without a contract, and there's no denying the fact GM Jim Nill is entertaining trade offers. Nill has to navigate very limited cap space and a ton of interest from others teams, so while Robertson may be one of the more prolific goal scorers in the league, the Stars could really fill a few h...
4 RFAs Becoming Trade Candidates This Summer
While the unrestricted free agent market is pretty slim pickings this summer, there are some notable names listed as restricted free agents. Teams have turned their attention to the trade market this offseason, and pending RFAs are on the radar of some rival clubs around the league. To that end, Harman Dayal of The Athletic has proposed four RFAs who will become trade candidates this summer. He calls them " four fascinating RFA dilemmas," as there is probably a gap between what the playe...
Insider Speculates on Wild Blockbuster Proposal for Maple Leafs' No. 1 Pick
Only once in the last 20 years has a Top 5 pick in the NHL Draft been traded. Could the Toronto Maple Leafs be the second team to do that since 2005? Although it's still unlikely, there has been some chatter that the Leafs are indeed not hanging up the phone when teams call to ask about the availability of the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. The most likely selection at the top spot will be Gavin McKenna. He's an elite winger who could, in essence, replace the departed Mitch Marn...
Sabres' Trade Target Devon Levi Linked To Atlantic Division Rival
Buffalo Sabres goaltending prospect Devon Levi didn't get a shot at the NHL level this season, but the 24-year-old is still considered a strong prospect between the pipes. The Sabres have a crowded crease at the moment, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Alex Lyon and Colten Ellis also among the crew. We've already heard rumors about Levi as a trade candidate this summer, and likely being on the move. Insider Kevin Weekes , a former NHL goalie himself, knows of what he speaks, and he told NHL N...
3 Montreal Canadiens Who Won't Be Back in 2026-27
The Montreal Canadiens couldn't keep up to the Carolina Hurricanes and now, held home for the summer. Montreal took a giant step forward in the team's development over the course of this season, but at the trade deadline, GM Kent Hughes sat on his hands, meanwhile during the Eastern Conference Final, head coach Martin St. Louis made zero adjustments down the stretch. This offseason there's going to be changes as the roster will look a little bit different heading into training camp in Se...
Report: Morgan Rielly Open To Trade From Maple Leafs
The longest-tenured Toronto Maple Leaf could be starting the next chapter of his career. Reports have surfaced indicating that Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly is contemplating his future and is softening his stance on his no-movement clause.

Nick Kypreos: Before Toronto’s new front office was put in place, industry sources believed the Leafs would be looking int...
Two Seismic Blockbuster Draft Trades Proposed For Vancouver Canucks
We're less than a month out from the 2026 NHL Draft. With the lack of depth on the unrestricted free agent market, trades are going to be the topic around the league this summer—it will be the only way for teams to get significantly better. And that should start with a vengeance ahead of, or at, the draft. The Vancouver Canucks were supremely disappointed that they didn't get the No. 1 overall pick in the lottery. Instead, they fell to the 3rd pick. San Jose is ahead of them, at No...
Report: NHL Warns Teams Over Blackhawks' Ilya Mikheyev Situation
Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson's hubris may have yielded unintended consequences with the NHL this week. It was announced that the team shopped forward Ilya Mikheyev's rights , before he reached unrestricted free agent status, attempting to gauge interest in the bottom-six forward. "I guess it was let known across the league that Chicago probably isn't going to be able to sign Ilya Mikheyev," Friedman said. "His rights are available if any team wants to talk to h...
NHL Trade Rumors: 4 Teams Linked To Ducks' Mason McTavish
It was a stressful offseason for Mason McTavish last summer as he and the Anaheim Ducks battled it out until 10 days into training camp before they came to terms on an extension for the restricted free agent. After missing all that time at camp, the regular season wasn't much better for McTavish, despite being armed with a six-year, $42 million contract ($7M AAV). Aside from a few brief spells of inspired play, he suffered his lowest production and ice time in his four NHL seasons,...
Insider Implies Oilers HAVE Spoken To Bruce Cassidy
The Bruce Cassidy/Vegas Golden Knights drama carries on. With the team now getting set for the Stanley Cup Finals beginning next week, they will most surely be standing pat on their refusal of all interview requests for their fired (but still under contract) head coach Bruce Cassidy. The Edmonton Oilers are one team that was notably turned down. He seems like exactly the head coach that club needs. Is it possible they'll continue waiting to see if he has interest in the job... Or do they...
Significant Update On Jay Woodcroft Candidacy For Maple Leafs Coaching Job
The Toronto Maple Leafs ' head coaching search has already taken a number of twists and turns, and in-person interviews aren't even fully underway yet.

But now we're hearing that not only is an interview not co...
Report: Islanders Captain & Pending UFA Anders Lee 'Not A Slam Dunk' To Re-Sign
After 14 years with the NY Islanders , the last eight as captain, Anders Lee is 'not a slam dunk' to return, according to a report from Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. Yes, the Islanders have indicated to their captain that they'd like to bring him back. But, with Lee about to turn 36, and his numbers taking a bit of a dip this past season, LeBrun writes that there are some hurdles to clear before there's a path for that to happen. My understanding is that New York Islanders GM Mathieu Da...
Report: Maple Leafs Are Listening On Offers For No. 1 Overall Draft Pick
After the shocking good fortune of winning the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NHL Draft Lottery, the Toronto Maple Leafs , by all accounts, seem set to take either Gavin McKenna (most likely) or Ivar Stenberg as a blue-chip building block for the future when this year's Draft takes place next month.
