Massive Asking Price Emerges In Nikita Kucherov Talks
Nikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning let the NHL's contract deadline pass this week without a new deal in place. According to TSN's Chris Johnston , the number being discussed in those negotiations is almost hard to believe. Deadline Passed Without A Deal Kucherov is entering the final season of the eight-year, $76 million contract he signed back in 2018, carrying a $9.5 million cap hit that looks almost quaint given his production since. He's eligible for unrestricted free ...

Latest Quinn Hughes Comments Promising For Minnesota Wild Faithful
It's only been a week since Quinn Hughes spoke to the media on the Players/Media Tour. But now that he's in camp, he's facing the same questions about when he's going to sign an extension with the Minnesota Wild. And while his comments about how much he likes his current team in last week's interview were promising for Wild faithful, his newest words will leave them even more stoked. Quinn Hughes is less than a year away from potentially hitting free agency, with the possibil...
Intriguing Comments From Bruins' Pavel Zacha About Heading Into Season With No Extension
Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha is one of the notable players heading into the final year of their contract this season. With no extension in place, he's eligible for unrestricted free agency after the upcoming campaign.

Pavel Zacha on the lack of a contract extension with Boston to this point: "We've been talking lately. My agent...

Jets GM: Hellebuyck Needed Beefed Up Security Due To Fan Vitriol After Olympics
We might have gotten a glimpse into why Connor Hellebuyck asked for a trade out of Winnipeg. Like other American players who returned to their Canadian NHL teams after defeating Canada in the Gold Medal game in the Olympics, Hellebuyck faced a lot of vitriol and threats from Canadian fans. But according to Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, it got so bad that there was a fear for the goalie's safety, along with that of his family. Connor Hellebuyck and his family were subject to so much post-Ol...

Maple Leafs GM Shuts Down Matthew Knies Trade Rumors
Matthew Knies was almost traded by the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, but new general manager John Chayka made one thing very clear at media day yesterday, the Knies trade talks were something Brad Treliving was a part of, and Chayka has no interest in carrying on the conversation.

Maple Leafs Reveal How Close They Really Came To Trading Morgan Rielly
For most of the summer, it felt like a question of when, not if, Morgan Rielly would be traded out of Toronto. According to the man who would have made that call, it was never really close at all. Chayka Says It Was Never Close Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka told The Athletic's Jonas Siegel and Chris Johnston that Toronto never had anything resembling a serious offer for its longest-tenured player. "At no point did we ever have what I would characterize as a serious trad...
Canadiens' Crowded Crease Could Force Trade Before Opening Night
Montreal has three goaltenders capable of playing in the NHL right now, and general manager Kent Hughes just confirmed that's not how the season is going to start. Hughes Rules Out Carrying Three Speaking to media at the Canadiens' golf tournament , Hughes made his position clear when asked about carrying Samuel Montembeault, Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler all at once. "To start training camp, more than three goalies, yes, but to start the season probably not," Hughes said. Samuel Mo...
Ducks Nearly Faced Another Massive Offer Sheet This Summer
Anaheim already knows what an offer sheet crisis looks like this summer. It turns out they nearly lived through a second one. One Team Was Ready To Move Pavel Mintyukov signed a five-year, $36 million extension with the Ducks back in July, worth a $7.2 million average annual value, and at the time it looked like Anaheim had simply gotten ahead of the market. David Pagnotta 's latest reporting adds an interesting new layer to that story. According to Pagnotta, at least one tea...

Ex-Sharks Enforcer Retires After 16 Seasons In The NHL
Ryan Reaves is a loud and brash personality in the NHL. After serving in the NHL as an enforcer for the last sixteen seasons, he's decided to retire. He spent the 2025-26 season playing as a San Jose Shark , with 50 games played, scoring three points. "You can rest easy knowing the corners are a little safer today. Mic drop, gloves drop.

Seattle Kraken Sign Ex-Flyers GM In A Puzzling Move
The Seattle Kraken are in the process of rebuilding their front office. On June 19th, 2026, Ron Francis left the organization to join the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team he played for in the 90s. Francis joined the team as a Special Advisor to Hockey Operations. As the Kraken's first GM and eventual President, the team fared decently under his leadership, securing a trip to the playoffs in 2023. But they've never had a winning record, truly never sniffing contention in a weak Pacific Divisio...
Philadelphia Flyers Are 'Big Game Hunting' On Trade Market
As the 2026-27 season gets into gear with training camps opening around the league, one thing hasn't changed from the offseason: the Philadelphia Flyers are going 'big game hunting'.

It’s been abundantly clear that the P...

Lightning GM 'Would Have Preferred' To Have Kucherov Extension Done By Now
One intriguing development as training camps open around the league is that the Tampa Bay Lightning and superstar forward and pending UFA, Nikita Kucherov, do NOT have an extension in place. At this point, if nothing gets done, he will be playing out the final year of his contract, with free agency beckoning at season's end. Key takeaway here is that BriseBois wishes Kucherov would have been extended by now. They’ll keep at it. Eight years now off the table in new CBA. Reigning Hart Trop...

Flyers Miss Major Opportunity With Matvei Michkov
September 15 was the last day any NHL team could sign one of its own players to an eight-year contract extension before new CBA rules dropped that maximum to seven years starting today. Around the league, it turned into a scramble right up to the deadline. In Philadelphia , it came and went with nothing to show for it.

Former Canucks Teammate Defends J.T. Miller In Elias Pettersson Feud
The Miller-Pettersson saga has mostly been told through reporters, front-office statements and vague quotes from the two players involved. This time it's coming from someone who played on the same team with both players. He Wasn't The Problem, Says Zadorov Nikita Zadorov, who played alongside Miller and Pettersson in Vancouver during the 2023-24 season before signing with Boston that summer, didn't hedge when the topic came up on the Cam & Strick Podcast this week.

Report: Connor Hellebuyck To Hold Out From Winnipeg Jets Camp
Training camp is upon us this week, and the latest on the Connor Hellebuyck situation in Winnipeg is not good. Appearing on TSN's Insider Trading Tuesday afternoon, Darren Dreger reported that a Helly Hold-Out is coming: As we have this conversation as a group of insiders here, I do NOT believe Connor Hellebuyck will report to opening of training camp.
