Vancouver Canucks president Jim Rutherford continues to be open about the eventual departure of captain Quinn Hughes. Rutherford recently held a press conference and touched on Hughes' future, stating even if Hughes does leave, the Canucks aren't looking for a full rebuild. Rutherford admitted that in any big trade, the Canucks would be prioritizing NHL players over picks and prospects. So, with that being said, if Hughes winds up dealt to his dream destination of the New Jersey Devils to team...
Multiple Updates From The Oilers' Goalie Hunt
At this point, almost everyone knows that the Edmonton Oilers need better goaltending, but it isn't always that easy to come by. Some of the highest-paid goaltenders are sub-.900 SV%, while others are unexpectedly playing great, season after season. One thing remains the same though. The Oilers' goaltending brings them down. The Oilers have made attempts to get goalies who have been traded in recent years, but to no avail. At this point, it is very much needed as Calvin Pickard appears to be d...
Nashville Predators' Games In Sweden Could Determine Imminent Future Of Team
The Nashville Predators are hanging on by a thread and it could snap at any moment. After the disastrous 2024-25 season that has carried over into this season, the Predators are on the verge of becoming sellers and going into a rebuild after a failed attempt at competing. The team is third-last in the NHL with a record of 6-9-4, despite winning the first game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Sweden. There have been plenty of players mentioned as trade candidates, including Ryan O'Reilly, Ste...
Insider Has Outlandish Take About Possible Maple Leafs & Flames Trade
It is no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs have to do something to get some life into the team and make the playoffs in the first year without Mitch Marner. Whether that comes with a big move or a few smaller roster-shifting moves, something has to and is going to get done eventually. The Calgary Flames are last in the NHL and should absolutely sell what they can. They aren't winning with the core they have. The proof is in the last few years of failed attempts to make the playoffs. These ar...
NHL Trade Rumors: Minnesota Wild In Advanced Trade Talks
The Minnesota Wild are rumored to be open for business as GM Bill Guerin is looking to make significant upgrades to his roster. The Wild enter Saturday's action with a 7-7-4 record, and are having serious issues scoring goals. Hockey insider Frank Seravalli recently commented on the Wild and mentioned Guerin's intentions: Frank Seravalli: Re Wild: Bill Guerin in general is relatively aggressive, at some point this season you'll probably see him make a move; they need more scoring help - Flames...
Insider: Flames Are One Move Away From An All-Out Fire Sale
Like a house of cards waiting to collapse. That’s essentially how insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period describes the Calgary Flames right now. Everyone around the league is keeping a close eye on the Flames, who continue to bring up the rear in the NHL, with just 12 points, at 5-12-2, in an extremely disappointing start to the season. Names like Nazem Kadri, Rasmus Andersson and Blake Coleman have been circulating like wildfire, but Pagnotta told Jeff Marek on The Sheet that...
3 Teams That Could Be In Trade Talks With Blues For A Forward
The St. Louis Blues are not a good team this season and it is going to take quite a bit to turn things around so that the GM doesn't start to have to make significant changes. The Blues are stuck in the middle while having too many tradeable veterans in places where the youth can step in and step up to take over once they're gone. It makes sense for a retool because this isn't a team likely to rebuild at this stage. The Blues are in talks with teams, as it would be odd if GMs don't call and se...
2 Maple Leafs Named Trade Candidates For Possible Upgrades
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a great spot behind the pack in the Eastern Conference and a lot of things just aren't quite right this season. Between injuries, the defensive system, and players needing to play better or step up, there is a lot that needs to change. The Maple Leafs are expected to be in the playoffs every season and there are a ton of eyes on them before even factoring in that it is the first season without Mitch Marner after tons of criticism. Trades have surrounded the t...
Blue Jackets Could Get Trade Offer Too Good To Refuse For Veteran
The Columbus Blue Jackets are two wins over .500, but in a very crammed race for the playoffs in the East right now. Things will start to separate further into the season, but it is no lock that the team that hasn't made the playoffs in the past five years takes the step in. If the Blue Jackets are in a position to sell, they will have suitors for multiple players, including Boone Jenner. He is in the final year of his four-year deal at $3.75 million AAV, which is very attractive for team...
NHL Rumors: Pete DeBoer Linked To Be Next Head Coach Of Spiraling Team
The Nashville Predators are sinking early in the season, and the pressure on head coach Andrew Brunette has never been higher. After last year’s 30th-place finish, general manager Barry Trotz insisted on giving Brunette another chance, calling him a “good, young coach” who deserved patience. But at 5-9-4 with a 1-6-2 slide, trade rumors swirling around stars like Steven Stamkos , and visible frustration from players such as Ryan O’Reilly , the Predators look lost again. That has in...
NHL Trade Rumors: 2 Teams Calling Sabres About Tage Thompson
A slow start has rival clubs checking on the Buffalo Sabres ’ franchise scorer. Multiple reports say two teams, the Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks , placed calls about Tage Thompson’s availability.

NHL News: Avalanche Sign Scott Wedgewood To Contract Extension
The Colorado Avalanche have made a move, as they have signed goaltender Scott Wedgewood to a one-year, $2.5 million contract extension. Seeing the Avalanche sign Wedgewood to a contract extension is not necessarily surprising, as he has been excellent for them early on this season. In 14 games for the Avalanche so far this campaign, the 33-year-old goaltender has recorded a 10-1-2 record, a .913 save percentage, and a 2.26 goals-against average. Wedgewood has not been slowing down as the...
Oilers Rumors: 2 Big Name Goalies Targeted At This Point Last Season
While Stuart Skinner hasn't been as bad as last season and has held things together for the most part, the Edmonton Oilers need a goalie upgrade. The Oilers' starter has his moments, but also plenty of bad moments. Calvin Pickard has been worse than last season and if the team is finally going to get over the mountain and win the Stanley Cup, a goalie upgrade is needed. That hasn't been something the Oilers have been quiet about as it appears as though GM Stan Bowman has checked in on many goa...
Pinto & Senators Closing In On Big Extension
The Ottawa Senators have seemingly confirmed that they are signing Shane Pinto to a multi-year contract extension that kicks in next season. Elliotte Friedman reported, "After months of negotiations, Ottawa and Shane Pinto are in agreement. closing in on a four-year, $7.5 million AAV extension." The insider also added, "Buys two unrestricted free agent seasons, and everyone involved peace of mind. Both sides badly wanted to get something done." Pinto signed a solid two-year bridge deal in 2024...
5 Teams Keeping Eyes On Bigger Prizes This Season
There have been plenty of rumors this season and there will more than likely be a number of better players traded at points during the season, particularly closer to the trade deadline. But there are young and competitive teams that have space and the desire to upgrade by targeting these types of players that could be on the move. David Pagnotta said, "I look to Utah, Carolina, Ottawa, Anaheim in a similar position to Montreal. Don't have to strike now...but these are all teams that are keepin...
NHL Rumors: Insider Reveals Which Blues Player Could Be Traded First
Brayden Schenn trade chatter is beginning to pick up, and insider Frank Seravalli believes the St. Louis Blues captain would be the first player out the door if management starts selling. He’s not pointing to Jordan Kyrou as the initial move. It’s Schenn’s contract structure and the scarcity of proven centers that elevate his market. The 34-year-old carries two more seasons at a 6.5 million cap hit and now has a 15-team no-trade list, which widens the field compared to a full shiel...
NHL Rumors: Canucks Linked to Ryan O’Reilly, But He Might Not Want Them
The Vancouver Canucks have been linked to Ryan O’Reilly as they continue searching for a second-line center, with multiple rumor roundups placing the Nashville Predators veteran on Vancouver’s radar. Recent segments note his name “popping up” in trade chatter and frame him as a target that makes sense for a club hungry for structure down the middle. Why Vancouver wants Ryan O’Reilly O’Reilly still drives value as a matchup center who will win draws, kill penalties, and can chip in of...
Predators' Steven Stamkos trade linked to 3 teams
The Nashville Predators are once again one of the worst teams in the NHL, and GM Barry Trotz has no choice but to change up the core of his team. The Preds can't score, they have chemistry issues in the dressing room, and one player who is drawing a ton of interest from other teams is former Stanley Cup champion Steven Stamkos. Stamkos, 35, has two seasons left on his deal at $8 million and holds a full no-movement clause, controlling his own destiny on his next move. There's been a ton of rum...
Vancouver Canucks Get Concerning News On Thatcher Demko
The Vancouver Canucks got worrying news on their oft-injured starter as reports indicate a Thatcher Demko injury will keep him out for roughly two to three weeks. The setback arrived in his first game back after a brief maintenance break, when he exited following the first period against the Winnipeg Jets . Early indications say it is a lower-body issue unrelated to last season’s knee problem or last week’s rest. That is better than worst-case scenarios, but it still puts Vancouver...
Maple Leafs lose Auston Matthews, Anthony Stolarz to injury
The Toronto Maple Leafs are having a roller coaster of a start to the season, and Tuesday night in Boston, it went from bad to worse. During the first period in a scrum in front, goaltender Anthony Stolarz was injured. He'd then leave the game in the first intermission, as Dennis Hildeby came out to start the second period. It's an upper body injury for Stolarz, but for now, it doesn't sound very serious. "I don’t believe that’s serious. I think he’ll be fine," Berube said when asked abo...
NHL Rumors: How The Oilers Could Make A Trade For Juuse Saros Work
Can the Edmonton Oilers swing a Juuse Saros trade, and what would it actually take to make it work. A top tier starter like Saros would stabilize a team that has wobbled through another uneven fall. It's also complicated. The Nashville Predators are not rebuilding, Saros carries a hefty cap hit, and any move likely requires the player’s approval. That puts pressure on the Oilers to present the kind of offer that solves the money and the assets in return in one shot. What an Oiler...
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs Having Buyers Remorse With Brandon Carlo?
The Toronto Maple Leafs buyer’s remorse on Brandon Carlo is becoming a real talking point as the blue line sputters and the goals against pile up game after game. After paying a premium to land the stay-at-home defender, Toronto has watched the pairing and puck movement fall short of expectations through the first month. Analyst James Mirtle on Sportsnet 590 The FAN went a step further, saying the team already explored moving Carlo in the offseason. Carlo Was Shopped for JJ Peterka Accordi...
Flames Are In Disastrous Spot If Owner Loves The Core
The Calgary Flames are last in the NHL, but the owner has all the belief in the world in the team and the core. Darren Dreger reported, "Murray Edwards, the owner of the Calgary Flames, is telling people that he has no interest in trading Nazem Kadri; in fact, he doesn't want to trade Nazem Kadri. He loves the core of this team." The Flames missed the playoffs each of the past three seasons, and only came close last season because Dustin Wolf played amazingly and dragged the team close. The Fl...
Blues Expected To Make Moves Within The Next Week
The St. Louis Blues are struggling, and along with being 5-8-3 on the season, they have just two wins in their past 10 games. It doesn't appear like the Blues' management is going to sit still and let the team continue to struggle, making moves to get value back for some of their players, but not rebuild. Frank Seravalli said, "Doug Armstrong doesn't sit on his hands. Keep an eye on the Blues in the next 5-10 days. My understanding is they have been pretty aggressive already." Seravalli also a...
Nashville Predators' Saros Becoming Trade Candidate
The Nashville Predators have the most games played in the NHL (18) and have the third-fewest points with a record of 5-9-4. Two seasons ago seemed like a fluke that sent the team into a buying spree and it hasn't turned out the way the Predators wanted, struggling mightily last season and having a repeat of that this time around. It is time for the Predators to give up on the hope of winning with this core, where half of them were acquired in the 2024 offseason. Some aren't working out, whethe...
