Former NHL Goalie Suggests Hellebuyck Could Sit Out The Season
The Connor Hellebuyck situation drags on, after he made his trade request public this past week. The Winnipeg Jets were notified months ago, but nothing has transpired as of yet. Former NHL netminder Martin Biron, now an analyst on TSN, says he wouldn't be surprised if the three-time Vezina Trophy winner sat out the whole season if the Jets don't grant him his trade wish. Martin Biron suggests that G Connor Hellebuyck would be willing to sit out the entire 2026-27 season if h...
Free Agent Calle Jarnkrok Signs Deal For Upcoming Season
Calle Jarnkrok's return to Sweden is finally happening, after two separate rounds of denials over the past year. Per Swedish outlet Expressen , the deal with Brynas IF of the SHL is now confirmed. The 34-year-old spent parts of four seasons with Brynas earlier in his career before crossing to North America in 2013. Rumor That Refused To Die This has been a long time coming, even if it kept getting shot down along the way. Swedish outlets first reported back in December that Jarnkrok ...
Oilers' Goaltending Plan In Jeopardy, Reopening Old Trade Target
The Edmonton Oilers thought they'd fixed their goaltending problem when they signed Frederik Andersen in free agency.

Huge Update On Blue Jackets' Contract Talks With Adam Fantilli
Adam Fantilli remains without a contract for 2026-27, but Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell isn't sweating the calendar.

"No, not at all," Waddell told Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch . "We're in communication. There's a little difference of opinion right now, which is normal, and I'm confident that we'll have him done before training camp...
Red Wings' Dylan Larkin Linked to Mammoth
Dylan Larkin still hasn't put the Utah Mammoth on his trade list. According to The Hockey News' Ryan O'Hara , that might not matter for much longer, because the argument for sending him there keeps getting stronger. O'Hara laid out the case this week, arguing a Larkin trade to Utah "may make more sense than ever" given how far the Mammoth have pushed to win now. Utah has spent the offseason loading up with veterans like Anders Lee and Vincent Trocheck, and Trocheck already shares h...

3 Proposed Sabres Trade Packages That Get Connor Hellebuyck To Buffalo
While the Connor Hellebuyck trade drama picks up steam, the Buffalo Sabres continue to be strongly linked to the three-time Vezina Trophy winner. They nearly had a deal back at the time of the Draft, but the Jets declined to give up their #8 pick (who they used to take highly-touted Swedish center Viggo Bjorck) . Since we already know that Hellebuyck had approved a trade to the Sabres, they remain one of the frontrunners, and here, we look at three proposed trade packages that have...

Oilers Urged To Consider PTO For Hometown Blueliner
It was a tough season last year in two New York stops for veteran defenseman Carson Soucy. Now, as an unrestricted free agent, he isn't receiving a lot of bites in the open market this summer. Meanwhile, it was revealed this past week that Edmonton Oilers depth defender Alec Regula will miss training camp while rehabbing from an injury. He underwent an undisclosed medical procedure shortly after the season and is still recovering. Mike Gould of Daily Faceoff suggests th...
Notable Sports Personality Absolutely Trashes Hellebuyck For Trade Demand: ‘No! Be Better!'
The Connor Hellebuyck situation played out quietly behind the scenes over the last few months, but his public trade request this week sent it exploding into the spotlight—in more ways than one. Everyone has an opinion on Hellebuyck wanting out of Winnipeg with five years to run on his eight-year deal. Safe to say, we can count ESPN sports personality Michael Wilbon as being opposed to the goalie's request. To say the least. His is the strongest condemnation of the trade request that you'...
Is Free Agent David Perron's NHL Career Over?
While we've witnessed the salaries of the NHL's top stars increase exponentially, with the signing of Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar's $20.8 M average annual value contract, there remains an underbelly of serviceable players who are still unsigned .

The veteran played 64 ...
2 Contenders Named As 'Least Likely Destinations' For Hellebuyck Trade
When it comes time for star NHL players to seek a trade, the ones with no-move clauses have a say in where they'll be headed. And almost every time, two of the teams on a player's approved list will be the Florida Panthers and the Vegas Golden Knights. But in the ongoing Connor Hellebuyck case, we're likely going to be looking elsewhere. Lyle Richardson of The Hockey News writes that, from what we've learned from the Dylan Larkin trade request, Florida and Vegas are among the leas...

Canucks Urged To Trade Brock Boeser — And Fast: Analyst
Brock Boeser has been a Vancouver Canuck for 10 years now. But as a pending UFA, his time in Vancouver seemed to be coming to an end entering last summer, until the two sides surprisingly re-upped on the first day of free agency on a seven-year extension with a $7.25M AAV.

TSN analyst Travis Yost has done some serious digging into the analytics and writes that...

Oilers Insider Warns Of Regret Over Franchise Blueline Trade
The trade that brought Mattias Ekholm to Edmonton has been one of the most lopsided wins of the Ken Holland era. According to Edmonton Journal columnist David Staples , that's about to get complicated. Staples argues the Oilers are set to feel real blowback from the February 2023 deal, not because Ekholm hasn't lived up to his end, but because the prospect Edmonton gave up, Reid Schaefer, has finally started to look like the player Nashville hoped for. A Trade That's Aged Perfectly For E...

One of them, Matt Savoie, was being counted on to resume his top-line role alongside Connor McDavid. Now, he will be out for about the first month of the season , per reports.
