Rangers' Norris Winner Could Be Eyeing An Exit
Training camp is approaching for the New York Rangers , and one of the most important questions in the organization still doesn't have an answer: does Adam Fox actually want to be part of this rebuild? The Norris Trophy-winning defenseman has never requested a trade. He's also never given a clear yes when asked directly whether he wants to stick around through a retool that's already sent Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck out the door.

NHL Network Analyst Projects 3 Destinations Connor McDavid Would Be 'Amenable To'
With a potential decision coming for Connor McDavid in less than a year, many around the hockey world are wondering where McJesus could resurrect himself if he were to leave the Edmonton Oilers . Yes, he is starting a two-year extension this coming season, but most pundits suggest that if he does not sign another extension next summer, the Oilers will not want to go into the final year of his contract with so much uncertainty about whether he'll stay.

4 PTO Options for Free-Agent James van Riemsdyk
The NHL free-agent market is dwindling down, and what's left for talent may have to settle for professional tryout agreements.

Flames' Path To Trading Jonathan Huberdeau Getting Clearer
Jonathan Huberdeau's contract has made him one of the most immovable pieces in the NHL. A fresh Daily Faceoff breakdown suggests that could eventually change, just not anytime soon. Huberdeau's $10.5 million cap hit consumes roughly 10.1 percent of the entire $104 million salary cap for 2026-27.
