Ryan O'Reilly Could Finally Be Legitimate Trade Candidate This Season
Almost every season since he signed his four-year free agent contract with the Nashville Predators in 2023, Ryan O'Reilly's name has been floated around at the trade deadline for teams in need of a veteran center & leader with a strong playoff pedigree. But even though O'Reilly's contract does not contain any trade protection, the Predators GM at the time, Barry Trotz, said he would be treating the respected veteran as if he did have a no-trade clause. He would run any potential offers by him ...

Calgary Flames' Morgan Frost Named Prime Trade Candidate
The Calgary Flames will be one of the NHL's worst teams in 2026-27, and expect to see general manager Craig Conroy pull the trigger on a few moves throughout this season. One player who is almost a guarantee to be moved - Morgan Frost. Frost, 27, has just one year left on his contract at $4.7 million AAV, and owns a eight-team no-trade clause, so he'll have a little bit of say in the matter. Frost is coming off a solid season, scoring 22 goals and 43 points in 82 games, averaging 15:30 of ice-...

Wild, Red Wings, Devils Linked To 3-Way Blockbuster Trade
The Detroit Red Wings have a massive problem on their hands, and are in a very tough spot with Dylan Larkin's drama, meanwhile in Minnesota, Quinn Hughes is in zero rush to sign a contract extension, and doesn't feel 'backed up against the wall' to make a snap decision anytime soon. So, how exactly can the New Jersey Devils be looped into all this, and how can all the drama in Detroit and Minny get solved in one clean swoop? How about a massive three-way deal that sees Dylan Larkin end u...
Montreal Canadiens & Nashville Predators Linked To Interesting Trade
Keep an eye on the Montreal Canadiens, as it feels like this could be a season where they go all in to try and win the Stanley Cup. And, from the sounds of it, there's a veteran center they've been linked to on the trade market, once again this season. According to The Score's Josh Wegman, he feels the Canadiens should be targeting Ryan O'Reilly from the Nashville Predators as a perfect number-two center to pair up with Nick Suzuki. ROR is on the dismal Predators, who have been making some int...
Toronto Maple Leafs Top-3 Trade Candidates For 2026-27
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka has made one thing very clear since taking over, the Leafs will be going all in for at least the next two seasons.

Looking ahead to the 2026-27 season, training camp officially kicks off next week and Chayk...
Latest On Adam Fantilli Revealed, Days Ahead Of Blue Jackets Training Camp
The Columbus Blue Jackets are in a tough spot. As noted last week by Elliotte Friedman, the price tag for top restricted free agent Adam Fantilli has undergone a major shift over the last couple of months. The Jackets were ready to do business with a "Before Carlsson" price, but are now looking at an "After Carlsson" price. Of course, he's referring to the bombshell $18M AAV offer sheet that Leo Carlsson signed for with the Philadelphia Flyers (and was matched by the Anaheim Ducks). ...
Insider Reveals Mike Babcock's Contract Term With Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers shocked the hockey world earlier this offseason with the hire of controversial head coach Mike Babcock. But until now, it was unclear how long his contract with the team would be. As noted by insider Pierre LeBrun, "teams are getting craftier at not divulging much information on coaching contracts, having figured out over the years that announcing exact term invites media speculation when a coach is entering his final season." This was also the case with Mike Ba...
Canadiens Sign Veteran Chris Kreider To A One-Year Contract
The top free agent in the NHL sphere has been signed to a contract. Forward Chris Kreider , who agreed to terminate his contract with the Anaheim Ducks this week, has found a new home in the Eastern Conference with the Atlantic Division's Montreal Canadiens. There was speculation whether Kreider would return to his hometown team, the Boston Bruins, but instead he'll be joining the newly-minted contenders, the Canadiens, led by Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky. ...
Captain Mark Stone Signs Multi-Year Extension With Vegas Golden Knights
The Vegas Golden Knights will be keeping their captain around for a while, agreeing to terms with Mark Stone on an extension that will fend off pending unrestricted free agency next summer.

Report: Kreider Told 4 Teams Not To Claim Him On Waivers
It's coming down to decision time for Chris Kreider. A slew of potential destinations have been thrown around on the rumor mill, but according to a new report on Saturday from insider Pierre LeBrun, his decision is down to three or four finalists, and a decision could even be made by the end of the day, or at least by end of day Sunday.

Maple Leafs Sign Veteran UFA Defenseman Nick Blankenburg
The Toronto Maple Leafs have continued their move to make their blueline more mobile, signing veteran unrestricted free agent defenseman Nick Blankenburg to a professional tryout (PTO) ahead of training camp. The Leafs likely only have room for one extra D (Stecher), but Blankenburg is an exciting camp invite. He'll always have his detractors because he's 5โฒ 9โณ, 177 lbs, but he can complement a better partner quite well and he can push play in the right direction offensively. https://t.co/VWPW...
Multiple Goaltenders Blocking Trade To Winnipeg Jets?
Connor Hellebuyck wants out of Winnipeg, but Jets' general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff is having a hard time finding the right trade. From multiple sources, the Jets want a goaltender back in the deal, but there seems to be a few they've targetted who aren't interested in playing in Winnipeg. Elliotte Friedman: Re Connor Hellebuyck trade request: I do think [Winnipeg] were looking for another goalie, I think there's some that can block a trade there - 32 Thoughts (9/10) The Jets have Stuart Ski...
5 Teams Linked To Free-Agent Chris Kreider
Chris Kreider has quickly become the best free-agent forward available on the open market, after the Anaheim Ducks and Kreider decided to terminate his contract. For the Ducks, it was a chance to create cap space to sign Cutter Gauthier long term, meanwhile for Kreider, it gave him the perfect chance to move his family back east. There's been a ton of speculation over where Kreider ends up, and rightfully so, there's a ton of interest. Sportsnet's Rory Boylen recently published a piece o...
Jason Robertson Rejecting Trade Set Off Seattle Kraken's Matty Beniers
Jason Robertson blocked a trade to the Seattle Kraken earlier this offseason, and don't think the Kraken dressing room didn't notice. Kraken forward Matty Beniers spoke to the media on Friday and opened up about Robertson's trade block. Beniers didn't shy away from the fact it pissed people off in Seattle, and something the entire team will put on their shoulder this season. "Yeah, absolutely," Beniers told The Athletic's Mark Lazerus . "There's a tough rep about Seattle because it's rainy, a...
Gavin McKenna on playing with Auston Matthews: 'Would be pretty special'
Gavin McKenna is ready to get started with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and if you asked him exactly where he wants to play in the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup, to no surprise, he'd love to be on the captain's wing. McKenna feels his game is suited to play alongside Auston Matthews, and the thought of putting on the blue and white and starting on the top line is something special for the 2026 first-overall pick. "To play with a player like that, of that caliber, would be pretty special," McKenna tol...
One Canadian Team Out On Free Agent Patrik Laine
The Ottawa Senators kicked the tires on Patrik Laine this summer. It sounds like that's as far as it's going to go. Senators Move On From The Idea According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen , general manager Steve Staios and the Senators did discuss the possibility of signing the unrestricted free agent, but it's now highly doubtful Laine ends up in Ottawa. The front office simply doesn't view Laine as the right fit for the roster they're building. Bruce Garrioch: Re Patrik Laine:...

Devils Invite 29-Year-Old Son Of NHL Legend To Training Camp
The New Jersey Devils are set on icing the best lineup they can in the league with new general manager Sunny Mehta. Or are they? Stumbling onto the training camp lineup for the Devils, you can count the wave of the future set to take the NHL by storm. Lost in the mix, though, is one name that is quite puzzling: Jeremy Brodeur.
