Maple Leafs Place Forward Sammy Blais On Waivers
The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed forward Sammy Blais on waivers as the organization activated Auston Matthews and Nicolas Roy from injured reserve. The transaction required clearing roster space, leading to Blais hitting the wire and rookie Jacob Quillan being reassigned to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. With Matthews and Roy set to return against the Columbus Blue Jackets , the Leafs needed immediate flexibility. Blais lands on waivers after limited opportunity Blais registered one ...
Oilers Players Vetoed An Attempted Goaltending Move By Management
After surrendering another eight goals on Tuesday in an 8-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, the Edmonton Oilers ' goaltending situation is once again the hot topic of conversation around the team. Is a change in the Stuart Skinner/Calvin Pickard tandem needed? More importantly, shouldn't that just be a rhetorical question at this point? According to insider Frank Seravalli on the Bleacher Report Insider Notebook, Oilers' management actually did try to make a move, but the rest of the pla...
Blues Rumors: Something Of Significance Could Happen Soon
The St. Louis Blues are right near the bottom of the standings and this isn't how the organization expected this season to go. They were expected to build off of a strong 2024-25 season, where the team got into the playoffs and almost made it to the second round with the help of a rejuvenated net and younger players stepping in. Nothing has gone right this season and multiple insiders have noted that something could happen soon, with almost anyone, to shake things up and get the team some new ...
Nashville Predators Willing To Trade A Couple Of Younger Players
It has all fallen apart for the Nashville Predators and it appears as though the team is finally going to dive into a rebuild. While nothing has specifically started, they are open for business and the trade rumors are starting to pick up, not just for the veterans we'd all think should and likely will be moved, but for some younger players too. Elliotte Friedman said, "I think (Trotz) is calling around. I've heard he's called on maybe a young player or two. I stress this, not like the Joakim ...
Wildcard Goalie Added To Team Canada Olympic Goalie List
The teams that played for the 4 Nations Faceoff aren't going to be the same as the teams the four nations will be bringing to the Olympics. While Canada won, there are going to be changes at all positions, especially the volatile goaltending position. There are a number of possibilities in net, but I think only one thing is for certain. Jordan Binnington, after helping Team Canada win gold, has a spot amongst the three goalies that will be brought. But Darren Dreger reported, "Scott Wedgewood ...
Predators Set Massive Asking Price for Ryan O’Reilly
Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz has made it clear he's not happy with how his troops have performed, and he's willing to make changes to the roster. With playoff-hardened centers in strong demand around the league, one player that many contending teams see as a great fit is Ryan O'Reilly. He has a Stanley Cup and a Conn Smythe Trophy on his resume, and could be a nice boost for teams looking to get to the next level in the postseason. But insider Pierre LeBrun has revealed that Trotz's pric...
NHL Trade Rumors: Predators Scouting the Canadiens
The Nashville Predators are sinking toward seller territory, and their scouting trips to Montreal have thrown gasoline on the Canadiens rumor mill. With two Predators scouts, including their head pro scout, in attendance for back to back games at the Bell Centre, reports from David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period and others have linked Nashville veterans Steven Stamkos and Ryan O’Reilly to a possible Montreal Canadiens target list as Kent Hughes looks for help down the middle. Why Predat...
NHL Trade Rumors: Insider Links 4 Teams to Brad Lambert
Winnipeg Jets prospect Brad Lambert has gone from a buried depth piece to one of the most intriguing names on the trade market. After reports that the Jets have given his camp permission to seek a trade, NHL insider Frank Seravalli has already linked multiple teams to the 21 year old. According to Seravalli, the Philadelphia Flyers , Calgary Flames , Vancouver Canucks , and Montreal Canadiens all make sense as potential suitors. Philadelphia Flyers In Philadelphia, Lambert chec...
St. Louis Blues Terminate Milan Lucic's Tryout Agreement
Unfortunately, things didn't work out for Milan Lucic's NHL comeback with the St. Louis Blues. The team announced on Tuesday, they've terminated Lucic's AHL pro tryout agreement. Lucic, 37, had been trying to make a comeback and was willing to ride the busses in the AHL in order to get another crack at an NHL roster. He appeared in five games for the Springfield Thunderbirds, chipping in with one assist and a -7 rating. Lucic's footspeed was a big question mark going into his tryout, as he's b...
4 Trade Targets Listed For Oilers To Add An Offensive Boost
A team with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl sitting in 17th place in goals-per-game in the NHL? It's clear that, despite the dynamic duo, the struggling Edmonton Oilers need more punch up front. Allan Mitchell writes in The Athletic that in 5-on-5 offense, the Oilers have gone from 2.48 goals per 60 in 2024-25 (No. 14) to 2.22 goals per 60 (No. 22) this season. He attributes this to the Oilers' new offensive mindset, which he notes favours the long stretch pass. With ...
Canucks Send Memo To 31 Teams, Submits 4 Players in Particular On Trade Block
Jim Rutherford and the Vancouver Canucks are ready to do business. We have known this since Monday. But we're now learning that the team even sent out a memo to the other 31 teams around the NHL that they, in particular, are looking to trade any of their pending unrestricted free agents. That means four names are definitely up for grabs: Jim Rutherford told PJ that all their pending UFAs are available: Kiefer Sherwood, Teddy Blueger, Evander Kane and Derek Forbort. — Taj (@taj1944) November 25...
NHL Rumors: Insider Thinks Owen Power Needs Change of Scenery
The Buffalo Sabres are stuck in that uncomfortable middle ground again. They are playing better hockey of late, yet still sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 9-9-4 record and a 14 year playoff drought hanging over everything. In that context, insider Frank Seravalli has zeroed in on Owen Power trade chatter, suggesting the former first overall pick might need a fresh start as much as the Sabres need a real shakeup. For a 23 year old in year two of a seven year, 58....
Canadiens Linked To 3 Veteran Centers
The Montreal Canadiens are looking for centers and scoring. Those are two things that aren't easy to find in the NHL, especially earlier in the season when teams don't necessarily want to trade away pieces like that before more teams get desperate and have bidding wars near the trade deadline. But this may be a unique season where the top of the 2026 draft looks to be so good that teams that are going to be out of the playoff race give up early and sell. The Canadiens are looking to get back t...
NHL Rumors: Seattle Kraken Making Trade Calls
The Seattle Kraken top-six forward search is quietly becoming one of the more interesting storylines in the league. Sitting firmly in the Pacific Division playoff mix, Seattle knows its structure and goaltending can hang with anyone, but the offense still trails near the bottom of the NHL. That is why, as David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period has reported, management is scouring the market for an impact scoring winger who can slide into the first line or at least solidify the top six. ...
Oilers' Forward Mentioned As Trade Candidate
The Edmonton Oilers have five players who are out of the lineup and injured right now, but they are starting to get healthier with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kasperi Kapanen both skating at practice. There is still Curtis Lazar and Noah Philp out of the lineup, but once healthy, the Oilers don't have enough space to hold everyone. The team already lost Troy Stecher on waivers to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and one of their forwards could be next, via trade. Frank Seravalli said, "I'd be curious to s...
2 Oilers Are Close To Returning From Injuries
The Edmonton Oilers have been a little banged up. While some players have returned, others have gotten injured. At this time, the Oilers are operating without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jake Walman, Noah Philp, Kasperi Kapanen, and Curtis Lazar. Of the five that are injured, Bob Stauffer reported that Nugent-Hopkins and Kapanen (LTIR) were on the ice for practice on Nov. 24, the day before the Oilers face the Dallas Stars in the lone Tuesday night game. The Oilers have played 24 games this season, b...
Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski injured vs. Capitals
The Columbus Blue Jackets are holding their breaths it's nothing serious, but defenceman Zach Werenski left Monday's game against the Washington Capitals with an upper-body injury. As of right now, it's unclear where the injury occurred, as nobody's been able to pin point the moment during Monday's game Werenski was hurt. Not only was Werenski ruled out before the start of the third period against the Caps, the same can be said about tough guy Mathieu Olivier, who didn't suit up in the final f...
5 Vancouver Canucks Trade Candidates
The Vancouver Canucks are in advanced trade talks, as GM Patrik Allvin, and president Jim Rutherford are looking to shake up the core of their team. The Canucks are open to moving out just about everyone, as they want to get younger, and re-tool on the fly. While it's been mentioned by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman that Filip Hronek isn't likely being moved, here's five Canucks to keep an eye on as a trade is coming soon: Jake DeBrusk Look for the Canucks to approach several of their players w...
Jordan Kyrou Trade Offer Turned Down By Goal-Starved Team
The vultures began circling again this season when Jordan Kyrou was a healthy scratch a few weeks back for the St. Louis Blues . He has seen his minutes and his line assignments fluctuate, from the first down to even the third line. Rumors about his availability in a trade have swirled since the end of last season. Is he on the market? "I always think there's a chance there, because he's always the guy that gets benched first," insider Elliotte Friedman noted on the Kyper & Bourne podcas...
Report: Vancouver Canucks Taking Trade Offers on 'Veterans'
The Vancouver Canucks are open for business, and they're looking to get younger. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday night that the Canucks are listening to trade offers on their veteran players. Friedman also pointed out that at this time, the Canucks don't see trading captain Quinn Hughes a priority. According to several sources, the Vancouver Canucks have let it be known that — in an effort to get younger — they are willing to listen to offers on “veteran players.” The obvious ...
Barry Trotz Calls Out Predators Players: 'I Need (Expletive) More From Them!'
We've all seen it: Sometimes, when a team just can't find the answers, and there are no trades that could solve its problems, the head coach takes the fall. Don't count on that happening to Andrew Brunette with the Nashville Predators . Not only did GM Barry Trotz back his coaching staff, he called out his players with some colorful language. Barry Trotz bemoaned some frustration on Nashville’s lack of scoring and overall lack of success this season 😳 Nashville ranks last in the NH...
Minnesota Wild Looking For Upgrades
The Minnesota Wild have played very well over the past 10 games, going 8-1-1 and winning five games in a row. They are doing this with a makeshift lineup while multiple regulars are injured. This isn't anything new for the Wild, who have regularly been able to outperform expectations, waiting for their time to be true contenders. I wouldn't say they are there yet, but the pieces are in place for the Wild to contend with all of the young and skilled players entering the NHL and stepping up. Thi...
One Way Canucks Would Trade First-Round Pick
The Vancouver Canucks are not having a good season, but injuries to key players or positions have really hurt them. They have tried to recover and bring some pieces in at center, but those pieces aren't great and haven't panned out so far. It is too early to properly judge David Kampf, but he is slotted in as the second line center. That is too high in the lineup, however you look at it. As well, Lukas Reichel hasn't been what was expected. Elliotte Friedman said, "We know they don't want to t...
Sabres Rumors: Tuch Using Recent Signing As Comparable For Next Contract
The Buffalo Sabres are going to have to pay up to keep Alex Tuch around after this season, and a decision should be made prior to the trade deadline. Tuch is a UFA after the 2025-26 season and has turned into a star on the Sabres, deserving of a big contract extension. Tuch is second on the team in goals and tied for the most points with 21 in 22 games. He is one of the driving forces on offense for the Sabres in a year that sees them out of a playoff spot again. Elliotte Friedman said, "Alex ...
Insider: Canucks Will Be 'Rumor Central' on Trade Market in Coming Weeks
The Vancouver Canucks are in a bad spot these days. Losers of six of their last seven games, the team is in seventh place in the Pacific Division, just one point up on last-place Calgary. And as noted by producer Dominic Sramaty on the 32 Thoughts podcast , there's just pure apathy amongst the fan base at this point. "The only way I can describe it is there was a lot of apathy (in Rogers Centre in their latest loss to Calgary on the weekend). Nobody booed, there was no displeasure f...
