NHL Trade Rumors: Predators working on Jonathan Marchessault trade
The Nashville Predators continue to be one of the more interesting teams to follow this season, as there's been plenty going on, on and off the ice. From early season struggles and GM Barry Trotz calling out his team, to eventually seeing Trotz step down, one thing that's been constant this season in Nashville are the trade rumors. While the most interest lies in Ryan O'Reilly, who has the word of the organization that they won't surprise him with a trade, the one trade candidate that appears ...

NHL Rumors: Avalanche & Maple Leafs Becoming Trade Partners
The Bobby McMann market is only expected to get louder, and the Colorado Avalanche are starting to feel like a legitimate landing spot if a trade actually happens. With the Toronto Maple Leafs flirting with sell mode and reportedly asking for a first-round pick, McMann has turned into a deadline winger that contenders love to add in March. He has 19 goals and 13 assists in 56 games this season, he's a proven 20-goal scorer, and his $1.35 million cap hit makes him one of the easiest plugs...

Nazem Kadri's Trade Market Stagnant for 2 Reasons
Nazem Kadri was one of the buzziest centers on the rumor mill for the first half of the season, despite the fact that neither he nor the Calgary Flames were interested in a trade. More recently, we learned that Kadri actually would be open to a trade, to the right spot. Nevertheless, his trade market seems to have quieted a bit, and according to insider Elliotte Friedman , writing in his 32 Thoughts column for Sportsnet, there are two reasons for that. And they're named Vince...

Panarin Turned Down 4 Teams That Made 'Competitive Extension Offers'
The Artemi Panarin Sweepstakes are over, as we saw earlier this week, as the New York Rangers traded the pending UFA to the Los Angeles Kings . He then immediately signed a two-year extension with LA with an $11M AAV. We learned that on the morning of the trade, Panarin informed the Rangers that the Kings were the only team he would accept a trade to. But that doesn't mean that others didn't try. In fact, with a rich extension being one of his prerequisites for accepting a trade, there were fo...

Top hockey prospect Gavin McKenna was facing a pretty uncertain future after the story broke this week that he had been hit with a felony aggravated assault charge following an alleged scrap near Penn State. But a sigh of relief comes for the promising hockey player on Friday, as we have learned that the felony assault charge has been dropped. Penn State hockey star Gavin McKenna will have his felony aggravated assault charge dropped, the Centre County District Attorney's Off...
Top Nashville Predators Trade Candidate Revealed
The Nashville Predators are a better team than they were last season and are still in the race for the playoffs in the weak Western Conference, but they aren't contenders and likely won't go anywhere if they do squeak in. What they can do is alter their team, get value for certain players, and retool again as it doesn't seem like they want to rebuild with Juuse Saros, Filip Forsberg, and Roman Josi still on the team. The Predators are four points out of the playoffs, but have won just three of...
Canadiens Rumors: Holdup In Potential Laine Trade
The Montreal Canadiens are contenders for the Stanley Cup this season as it seems pretty wide open in the East. They sit second in their division and third in the conference after upgrading this offseason, and are looking to upgrade even further before the trade deadline. To do that, Patrik Laine will have to move. Chris Johnston said, "Moving him out, the Canadiens do that in concert with knowing they have something else in place, and at this point in time, they don't have anything else in pl...
Deserving Players Still Left Off Canada's Olympic Roster
The familiarity factor for the Team Canada roster at the Olympics has been on another level. Doug Armstrong (GM) selected Jordan Binnington and Colton Parayko from his St. Louis Blues , selected Brandon Hagel, Brayden Point, and Anthony Cirelli from Jon Cooper's Tampa Bay Lightning , and the injury replacements, Sam Bennett and Seth Jarvis, both played on the 4 Nations team for Canada. On top of that, the defense selected were all the same and there were very few changes made to the roster, de...
Panthers' Paul Maurice Ejected After Wild Fights vs. Lightning
Paul Maurice started his Olympic break early. The Florida Panthers head coach was tossed out of Thursday night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, in what was a wild, fight-filled affair. The Battle of Florida lived up to its name, and much more, as this game was one for the ages. In the third period, the Lightning were walking away with it 4-0, and that's when things took a turn. Fights broke out at center ice, including a rematch between Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk, and Lightning's Brandon...
NHL Rumors: Artemi Panarin Turned Down Massive Offer From Kraken
Artemi Panarin had the Seattle Kraken ready to blow the doors off the market, and he still said no. According to Sportsnetās Elliotte Friedman, Seattle put a four-year extension on the table with an average annual value higher than Leon Draisaitlās $14 million, a jaw-dropping pitch that would have made Panarin one of the leagueās top-paid players. Krakenās offer was massive, Panarin still stayed on his track The wild part is how close things apparently came to falling apart with Los Ange...
NHL Rumors: Red Wings & Blues Linked to Trade
With the St. Louis Blues sliding toward a deadline sell-off, the Detroit Red Wings are getting linked to one of the steadier names that could actually move: veteran right shot defenseman Justin Faulk. Detroitās blue line has had moments, but the second pair has felt like the spot that needs a real stabilizer, and Faulk checks a lot of the boxes for a team trying to stay in the race without gambling on a pure rental. Why Justin Faulk fits what Detroit needs Faulk is 33, plays big minu...

NHL Trade Rumors: Montreal Canadiens discussing Patrik Laine trade
The Montreal Canadiens are expected to be buyers ahead of this season's trade deadline. However, that doesn't mean GM Kent Hughes won't be subtracting off his current roster to do so, and the one trade candidate who seems to be drawing the most attention is winger Patrik Laine. Laine, 27, is in the final season of his current deal, earning $8.7 million AAV. The former second-overall pick owns a 10-team no-trade clause, and is currently on the injured reserve, expected to return sometime after ...

At Least 8 Nashville Predators Listed As Trade Candidates
Although a roster freeze is in effect in the NHL until after the Olympics, things are going to be pretty hectic for the Nashville Predators. With general manager Barry Trotz announcing that he is retiring (though staying on help find a successor), the team will be doing its due diligence on not only the GM front, but also on the trade front. The Preds are just four points out of a Wild Card spot going into the break, so they're treading on some unusual ground, trying to navigate how and ...
Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau Done For the Season

That will be his final game of the 2025-26 season. Huberdeau needs hip surgery, but wanted one final game for the Flames -- and made ...

NHL Trade Rumors: Vancouver Canucks talking trade on 3 players
The Vancouver Canucks have gone through a whirlwind 2025-26 season, and there's still 25 games left.

NHL Rumors: Flyers Have New Trade Candidate Emerging
The Philadelphia Flyers have not exactly been screaming āsellā all season, but Bobby Brinkās name is starting to stick in the rumor cycle anyway. Between a softening playoff push and a roster that is getting tighter by the week, Brink has landed on multiple trade radars as a skilled, affordable winger who can slide into a contenderās middle six.
