Will the Maple Leafs let pending RFA walk in July?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a storied franchise that is in the throes of chaos at the moment. Without Captain Auston Matthews and the burden of general manager Brad Treliving's failures coming to light, fans in Toronto aren't happy. The team has begun to sell, as the inclination of the team is to remake itself, but what will they look like after Treliving is done tearing down the Kyle Dubas and Brendan Shanahan consensus? Mitch Marner was the first casualty, being traded to the Ve...
Tkachuk Brothers BLAST Maple Leafs For Not Defending Matthews After Gudas Hit
The latest to weigh in on the Auston Matthews/Radko Gudas affair are none other than the Tkachuk brothers, Matthew & Brady. Trust us when we say that if they watched as their team's best player was taken out with a dirty hit like that, they would not have been standing around doing nothing. But don't take our word for it. Here they are on their latest Wingmen podcast, basically ripping Matthews' Toronto Maple Leafs teammates for not sticking up for their captain: “If you go after our bes...
Two-Time NCAA Goalie of the Year On The Trade Block
He was a Top 5 prospect for the Buffalo Sabres for three years running, but the bloom seems to be off the rose for goaltender Devon Levi in Western New York, once considered the Sabres' goalie of the future. With a stellar goaltending tandem at the NHL level right now in Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon, the Sabres are soaring and seem set between the pipes. Even unheralded youngster Colten Ellis has moved ahead of Levi on the depth chart. With that, the Sabres put Levi, 24...
Oilers Reveal Draisaitl To Miss Games From Injury Suffered Sunday
The Edmonton Oilers picked up a big win on Sunday against the Nashville Predators, but the cost was an injury to Leon Draisaitl. He met with doctors on Monday morning and was not on the ice with the team for practice. Head coach Kris Knoblach has admitted that the superstar forward will be out for a bit of time. No update on Leon Draisaitl from Kris Knoblauch, but he does anticipate he may miss some games. #Oilers . #NHL — Derek Van Diest (@DerekVanDiest) March 16, 2026 Draisaitl was hit hard ...
Big Surprise in Anaheim As Ducks Make Shocking Healthy Scratch
It was a contentious offseason last summer for the Anaheim Ducks and one of their young core players, Mason McTavish. The 23-year-old center was a restricted free agent, and engaged in a holdout from training camp as the Ducks just weren't convinced they wanted to hand out the kind of massive contract that the player was looking for. In the end, they settled on a six-year, $7 million AAV deal. But McTavish hasn't quite lived up to his end of the bargain this season with just 13 goals and...
NHL Rumors: Senators' GM Reveals the Team's Offseason Plans
However the rest of the season shakes out for the Ottawa Senators , the team looks to be heading toward an important offseason, and general manager Steve Staios has already identified where the roster might need help. Speaking during a recent interview with TSN’s Claire Hanna , Staios made it clear that strengthening the blue line will be a major focus once the season wraps up, even though the organization still believes in the core group currently in place. Steve Staios Says Sen...
Should Vegas Be Concerned With Lack of Rasmus Andersson Extension?
The Vegas Golden Knights paid a hefty price to acquire Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames , so a contract extension was fully expected to follow soon after. However, nearly three months have passed with no deal in place, and that raises the question of whether Vegas should be concerned about the situation or not. Why the Golden Knights Haven’t Extended Rasmus Andersson Yet At first glance, the delay might look worrying. When the Golden Knights traded for Noah Hanifin in 2...
Report: One Team Was 'Lusting After' Ryan O'Reilly
GM Barry Trotz told us all along that Ryan O'Reilly, despite not having a no-trade clause in his contract with the Nashville Predators , was being treated like he has one. They would not send O'Reilly anywhere in a trade without his permission. It's a classy gesture by the team for a 35-year-old classy veteran. But it begs the question, why didn't they just give him the NTC in the first place? Whatever the reasoning behind it all, O'Reilly wasn't moved at this trade deadline, just like h...
Jonathan Marchessault Was Hoping for a Trade at Deadline
It sounds like Jonathan Marchessault is having a little 'buyer's remorse' when it comes to his buying in on the Nashville Predators in free agency two summers ago. While his name was buzzing around the rumor mill as the trade deadline approached earlier this month, word is that Marchessault wanted out. And has for some time, according to insider Frank Seravalli, speaking on the Halford & Baugh podcast . Jonathan Marchessault has been trying to get out of Nashville for more than a c...
Connor McDavid Weighs In On Gudas Suspension: 'Frustration'
Just like that iconic old E.F. Hutton slogan, but with a twist: When Connor McDavid talks, people listen. Everyone around hockey is talking about the controversial five-game suspension handed out to Radko Gudas for ending Auston Matthews' season with a brutal knee-on-knee hit. So, of course, McDavid was asked to weigh in on it. He spoke to the media in Edmonton on Sunday, and said it's time for "a better way" to hand out punishment: I think the (NHL’s Department of Player Safety) ...
Will the Blues deal hot-headed Stanley Cup-winning goaltender in July?
The St. Louis Blues have found a great surprise in backup goaltender Joel Hofer. Selected 107th overall in 2018, Hofer has served 2nd-fiddle to Jordan Binnington in the Blues system. Binnington helped the Blues overcome the odds in a 2019 underdog story, which led to the team winning a Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins, led by Bruce Cassidy. Players come and go, and as the Blues begin their retool, some players, including their own stars, may have to find a new home in the NHL....

Maple Leafs Lock Up Another Goalie on Multi-Year Deal
Maybe it was the shutout that clinched it. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been thoroughly impressed by the play of 24-year-old netminder Artur Akhtyamov with the Marlies this season. And Saturday night's shutout wasn't the only reason they've now signed him to a new three-year contract. But the timing was impeccable. 🚨 BREAKING: The Maple Leafs have announced that they have EXTENDED G Artur Akhtyamov to a three-year contract. The deal starts as a two-way contract for the 2026–27 season and then ...
Demoted: Tristan Jarry's Epic Meltdown post-trade in Edmonton
Of the two new additions to the crease in Edmonton by trade, only one of them has found favor with the team, and it isn't Tristan Jarry. It was announced by head coach Kris Knoblauch on Sunday that the Edmonton Oilers have found a new starting goaltender in Connor Ingram. Of the two trades, it appears the deal with the Utah Mammoth for "future considerations" has been the more consequential of the two. Connor Ingram has punched above his weight class, with a subpar defensive...
3 Chicago Blackhawks Not Expected Back Next Season
The Chicago Blackhawks once again weren't able to live up to expectations, as they've seem to all but waste another prime season for Connor Bedard. Yes, injuries didn't help at all this season, and it wasn't all related to one element of their team why they didn't have success, but as we saw before the trade deadline, changes were needed, and more are expected heading into next season. Look for GM Kyle Davidson to move on from certain free agents, while also being involved in the trade market,...
Is Boeser A Goner When the Rebuild Kicks Into Full Gear?
The fallout from the confrontation between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson has had far-reaching consequences. It arguably began the path the Vancouver Canucks are on, with a rebuild on the horizon, despite its unpopularity with Jim Rutherford and general manager Patrik Allvin. Miller was traded to the New York Rangers for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a 1st-round pick in Jan. 2025. Now, with Miller gone, defenseman and former Captain Quinn Hughes gone, the Canucks are i...
Top 10 Pending UFAs After Schmaltz Extension
Yet another big name came off the free agent board this week, as the Utah Mammoth re-upped with pending UFA and top-line center Nick Schmaltz on an eight-year extension. So after all of the extensions handed out, with everyone from Connor McDavid and Kirill Kaprizov to Jack Eichel, Martin Necas, Adrian Kempe, Kyle Connor, Artemi Panarin and now Schmaltz, a whole lot of glitter and excitement was taken out of the so-called Free Agent Frenzy coming this July 1. So w...
Scary Scene in Montreal As Sharks' Chernyshov Knocked Out Cold
A scary scene at the Bell Centre in Montreal, as San Jose Sharks forward Igor Chernyshov took a high hit to the head from Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson and dropped to the ice hard face-first in an ugly fashion.

$6.5 M Veteran Blues defenseman to be traded in July?
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. All excitement surrounding the annual event was muted by the league's newly minted rules . One big name slated to be traded by general manager Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues was defenseman Colton Parayko. Locked in for four more years, with a $6.5 million average annual value (AAV) cap hit, he had a ticket to Buffalo, but exercised his ability to waive the trade. After much dismay surrounding his decision, he decided to stick ...
Canadiens Make Surprising Healthy Scratch Saturday
There's a first time for everything, as they say. The Montreal Canadiens made a difficult and surprising decision on Saturday, announcing that 14-year veteran forward Brendan Gallagher would be a healthy scratch for the first time in his career, for their game against the San Jose Sharks. Some unfamiliar territory for 14-year vet Brendan Gallagher. pic.twitter.com/DukQlkAg4E — Spittin' Chiclets (@spittinchiclets) March 14, 2026 With only six goals and 20 points in 64 games, the fei...
'Nobody Believes' Canucks Got No Trade Offers for Teddy Blueger
What is up with the Curious Case of Teddy Blueger and the Vancouver Canucks ? GM Patrik Allvin said after the trade deadline that he got 'no offers' for the veteran shutdown defensive center. But there are some, like Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, who don't believe that for a second. Blueger is a pending unrestricted free agent finishing up a very reasonable $1.8 million cap hit. He was expected to be one of the Vancouver sell-off pieces. But it didn't happen. Why? Could Teddy Blueger re...
NHL Trade Rumors: Philadelphia Flyers Making Offseason Goalie Trade
While the Philadelphia Flyers didn't make any significant changes ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, expect to see them much more active in the summer. There's been multiple reports the team almost moved defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen and was involved with several teams on advanced trade conversations, but unfortunately, weren't able to come to terms on a deal. That could certainly change this upcoming offseason. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , here was the details on Ristolainen...
Predators Turned Down 'Some Really Good Offers' for Steven Stamkos
The Nashville Predators had one of the more intriguing situations heading into the NHL trade deadline, with veteran stars like Steven Stamkos drawing serious interest from contenders. Yet despite receiving plenty of inquiries, general manager Barry Trotz chose not to move the veteran sniper. According to reporting from Kyle Morton of Daily Faceoff and comments Trotz gave to reporters after the deadline, the Predators turned down “some really good offers” for Stamkos while deciding ...
Sharks Don't Want to Give One Player a Long-Term Extension
The San Jose Sharks and Mario Ferraro are starting to look like a team and player heading toward a difficult decision. Ferraro has made it clear he wants to remain in San Jose, and there is still mutual interest in continuing the relationship, but the bigger issue is the term. The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta has said the Sharks are not interested in giving Ferraro the kind of long-term extension he is believed to be seeking. Sharks only want a short-term Mario Ferraro extensio...
Breaking: Radko Gudas Hit With 5th Career Suspension for Ugly Kneeing Incident on Auston Matthews
Auston Matthews' agent calls it " laughable and preposterous".
