The Toronto Maple Leafs sent shock waves through the National Hockey League when, on the eve of the 2026-27 regular season, they traded forward Matthew Knies.

The intrigue surrounding the Boston Bruins and pending unrestricted free agent Pavel Zacha continues to veer off in new directions. Last week, we heard that the player himself is in no rush to sign an extension . However, the latest report, from Pierre LeBrun in The Athletic, is that the Bruins already tried to trade him before the season began, and they have concerns about an extension. Boston was quite interested in Kirill Marchenko before the Columbus Blue Jackets traded him to the To...

Though the opening-night loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets wasn’t ideal, the team got back on track with a thrilling win at home against the Chicago Blackhawks. The slate is…
The Columbus Blue Jackets came out of the Kirill Marchenko situation smelling like roses. The dynamic offensive threat clearly wanted out, but Jackets GM Don Waddell held his ground until he got a star player in return. He got that from the Toronto Maple Leafs in Matthew Knies. His four points in his first two games is a Blue Jackets franchise record. But we also know that the Montreal Canadiens were the hottest to trot for Marchenko all summer long. They've been looking for another top-...

On the eve of the 2026-27 NHL regular season, the Columbus Blue Jackets traded first-line winger Kirill Marchenko to the Toronto Maple Leafs for power forward Matthew Knies in a six-player deal.
Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell is apparently not finished wheeling and dealing. The Blue Jackets exec pulled off a season-eve blockbuster with the Toronto Maple Leafs, acquiring Matthew Knies, Steven Lorentz and Emil Andrae, and cashed in on Kirill Marchenko, who wasn't going to re-sign in Columbus. Waddell also managed to move Miles Wood and Elvis Merzlikins' contracts in the process. Word is, he's far from finished and two Blue Jackets forwards could be next. David Pagnott...

Over the last month or so, we've seen a number of NHL head coaches sign extensions, including Jared Bednar with the Colorado Avalanche, Martin St. Louis with the Montreal Canadiens, John Hynes (Minnesota Wild), and Ryan Warsofsky (San Jose Sharks). There are still four head coaches, however, who are playing out this season with the proverbial "lame-duck status"—on the final year of their deals. Joel Quenneville in Anaheim, Scott Arniel in Winnipeg, Rick Bowness in Columbus, and Andrew Brunet...

The Utah Mammoth remained a perfect 2-0 with a dominant victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Chicago Blackhawks look to salvage something from their season-opening road trip when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. After what happened on Thursday night in Utah, something is setting the bar pretty low. The Sabres also aren’t off to a great start, either, having lost 6-3 on the road to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday, although there were at least some positives for Buffalo after a terrible first period. Twice the Sabres cut the deficit to one in the seco...
As if it hasn't been a difficult enough year already for the Columbus Blue Jackets and GM Don Waddell. Now, this week's shocking, history-making $43M signing of Tristan Luneau by the Anaheim Ducks has put the pressure on Waddell once again. Elliotte Friedman noted on The Fan Hockey Show on Friday that the Luneau extension will mean some pretty big bucks for pending restricted free agent Denton Mateychuk. Someone texted me another name last night that that is going to be really good...
