Welcome to the Summer Thread for the week of 6/22.
Times are beginning to get interesting.

The Tkachuk brothers are going to be reunited in Florida and Ottowa got a large number of high picks in return.
The NHL draft begins Friday. Everyone has seemed to predict a different selection for the Predators. Fingers crossed...
So much for summer being a quiet period in the NHL, eh? On what would normally be a sleepy June weekend in hockey circles, we had trades, contract extensions, you name it. None of it involved the Bruins in any way, but that’s OK. Let’s recap: Florida swings big (again) Unsatisfied with a year on […]
The NHL offseason is in full swing, and massive trades are already being made. The Ottawa Senators just traded their captain, Brady Tkachuk, to the Florida Panthers, and more moves…
Justin Fields arrived in Kansas City with the intention of reigniting his career under the tutelage of Andy Reid after a rough 2025 season with the Jets that was marred by poor play and injury.

Pals, it’s gonna be a busy week around the National Hockey League, with the first round of the 2026 NHL Draft on Friday night and the remaining six rounds unfolding on Saturday morning and afternoon.

Welcome back to another edition of Around the NHL, as we’ve entered NHL Draft week, and we’re just a couple of weeks away from free agency opening.

So long, and thank for all the between-the-legs attempts.
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
There's quite a few forwards who could still be around late in the draft that I like, and as you can imagine most of them are smaller but have interesting skills.
Kilmer Sports Ventures, the private investment firm led by Larry Tanenbaum, is joining the Professional Women’s Hockey League as a strategic partner and injecting $100 million into the burgeoning property, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The NHL Draft is great for finding the cornerstones of your franchise and the future stars of your team at the very tippy top of it.

All of that is great, but what might be even more exciting is taking advantage of other teams not really knowing just how good that smaller kid in Norway can be, or how there’s this underscouted team in the MHL and this guy you take in the si...
Sunday night was supposed to be fairly quiet heading into what was bound to be an eventful week in the NHL, as the 2026 NHL Draft is next weekend.

The week before the NHL Draft has kicked off with a flurry of activity. After the Tampa Bay Lightning started things on Friday by pulling off a sign-and-trade with Toronto, their down-state rival ended the weekend with a blockbuster deal of their own.
It started innocently enough as they sent Mackie Samoskevich to Seattle for the 25th pick in the first round (originally the Lightning’s) and a second-round pick in 2027. Armed with two first-round picks, it was almost certain that the Panth...
Here are your links for today: Devils Links “I can’t promise any fireworks for the Devils this week, but there is potential for some in the lead-up to the draft and at the draft on Friday and Saturday. Devils’ ownership hired Mehta to make some changes, and I expect we’ll see some as the week […]
Knowing what we know about Kyle Dubas draft tendencies, who could be some targets for the Pittsburgh Penguins with the 22nd pick at Friday night’s NHL draft?
