Alex Ovechkin continues to parade to the top of just about every NHL scoring record in history. On Sunday, Ovechkin scored his 1,000th career goal, regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs combined. OV joins Wayne Gretzky as the only players in history to reach the feat, as the Russian winger continues to shatter the record books. Ovechkin made history against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday, and just like he's done time and time again, it was his patented one-timer from the left circle to lig...

The 2025-26 NHL season has not been friendly to the Calgary Flames. They've moved out several of their core players, their GM had his hands tied by ownership over making more trades, and now, the Flames enter the summer trying to balance resetting their roster, while keeping in mind they open a new arena in a couple years. GM Craig Conroy made a couple of significant moves, dealing Mackenzie Weegar and Nazem Kadri ahead of the March 6 trade deadline, and expect to see a few more moves he...

The Nashville Predators have been through a lot this season. They started the year with sky-high expectations, looking to contend in the Western Conference, and with just a couple weeks left in the season, the Preds sit in the second wild-card position. Nashville is only a few points up on four teams, so essentially, they'll be playing playoff games from here on out. While the team searches for a new GM, Barry Trotz and company tried to make several trades ahead of the Mar.6 deadline, and both...

Because of this, let's look at four Nashville players who could get moved this offseason.

Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright created plenty of chatter as a trade candidate leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The Kraken ended up not moving him, but it would not be surprising if teams pursued him during the summer as well. Because of this, let's look at three potential offseason trade destinations for Wright if the Kraken make him available this summer.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen was a top trade candidate leading up to the deadline. However, the Flyers decided to hold on to him past the deadline. While this is the case, the Flyers certainly could move him during this offseason. This is especially so when noting that he is entering the final season of his contract. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Ristolainen this summer. Boston Bruins The Bruins were one of the teams that were intereste...
After the Florida Panthers worked wonders to bring back all of their unrestricted free agents last year, this season's big pending UFA, Sergei Bobrovsky, figured they'd pony up for him, too. So far, however, the two sides are not in the same page as to what the iconic 37-year-old goaltender's value is on an extension. Insider Frank Seravalli, speaking on the Halford & Brough show, pontificated that the Panthers will come around. And there's one specific reason why...
The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Egor Chinakhov in a trade this past December. The move was a fulfillment of a request Chinakhov made to Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell beforehand. Since Dec. 29th, Chinakhov has played 30 games for the Penguins, and scored 22 points (11-11) as a top-six forward playing alongside fellow Russian forward, Evgenii Malkin, and center Tommy Novak. A stark contrast to his time in Columbus, where he was arguably underutilized, scra...
St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou once again found himself in the rumor mill leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. However, the Blues ended up not moving him. While this is the case, there is an expectation that the Blues will listen to offers on Kyrou this summer. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to land Kyrou this offseason. Seattle Kraken The Kraken have long been linked to Kyrou, and it makes sense when noting that they could use another high-impac...
Leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline, Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman was one of the NHL's most-talked-about trade candidates. However, in the end, the Flames elected to hold on to him instead of moving. However, with Coleman having plenty of trade value and entering the final year of his contract in 2026-27, it is certainly possible that he could get moved this offseason. Because of this, let's look at three offseason trade destinations for Coleman. Montreal Canadiens Th...

William Nylander was not present at practice for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday, but he was present in head coach Craig Berube's office for a little meeting. The coach elaborated with the media on what they discussed. And it wasn't the weather. Berube on Nylander: "Spoke to him today. I'm like, 'I don't know if you're playmaker now or are you going to shoot?' He needs to shoot & he understands that & that's on the PP too. He agreed. More direct & shoot pucks ... We need him to shoot t...
He might not have been having the type of season that the Edmonton Oilers envisioned when they handed him an inexplicable eight-year extension last summer, but Trent Frederic's physicality will still be missed in the lineup. It's been revealed that he is out with an injury with no timeline currently for a return. From @EdmontonOilers Kris Knoblauch on Trent Frederic "Trent is out with an injury and I dont have a timeline." — Gene Principe (@GenePrincipe) March 20, 2026 Head coach Kris Kn...
The New Jersey Devils made a huge selection with their first-round pick in 2024—in more ways than one. 6-foot-7 defenseman Anton Silayev was selected with the 10th overall pick, though the Devils knew that he had a contract with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL that would run through the 2025-26 season. Now that that contract is coming to an end in short order, the plan for the Devils and their top prospect is to get him here to North America in time for Development Camp this sum...

The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t pull the trigger at the deadline, but they were still making calls. Owen Tippett’s name never really left the rumor mill, and it's expected to pick up again.

Arber Xhekaj's days with the Montreal Canadiens seem to be coming to an end. At least according to Tony Marinaro of TVA Sports, who said this week, "Something's going to happen" with the hard-hitting defenseman's future. "I think that at some point, the Canadiens are going to have to make a decision [about Xhekaj]," Marinaro said during the JiC show. "I don't think Xhekaj has a future with the Canadiens. I wouldn't be surprised if something happens during draft w...
General Manager Chris Drury of the New York Rangers had a chance to maximize his cache of assets this deadline by trading center Vincent Trocheck. A reliable two-way forward who hasn affordable contract, compared to other centers in the league who have been demoted to the third-line (Elias Lindholm). Nevertheless, Trocheck wasn't moved by this deadline, in a perplexing fashion, as the Rangers opted to keep him around. It's not until free agency in July that the team could fi...
