Can the Edmonton Oilers swing a Juuse Saros trade, and what would it actually take to make it work. A top tier starter like Saros would stabilize a team that has wobbled through another uneven fall. It's also complicated. The Nashville Predators are not rebuilding, Saros carries a hefty cap hit, and any move likely requires the player’s approval. That puts pressure on the Oilers to present the kind of offer that solves the money and the assets in return in one shot.

The Calgary Flames are last in the NHL, but the owner has all the belief in the world in the team and the core. Darren Dreger reported, "Murray Edwards, the owner of the Calgary Flames, is telling people that he has no interest in trading Nazem Kadri; in fact, he doesn't want to trade Nazem Kadri.

The St. Louis Blues are struggling, and along with being 5-8-3 on the season, they have just two wins in their past 10 games. It doesn't appear like the Blues' management is going to sit still and let the team continue to struggle, making moves to get value back for some of their players, but not rebuild. Frank Seravalli said, "Doug Armstrong doesn't sit on his hands. Keep an eye on the Blues in the next 5-10 days. My understanding is they have been pretty aggressive already." Seravalli also a...

The Nashville Predators have the most games played in the NHL (18) and have the third-fewest points with a record of 5-9-4. Two seasons ago seemed like a fluke that sent the team into a buying spree and it hasn't turned out the way the Predators wanted, struggling mightily last season and having a repeat of that this time around. It is time for the Predators to give up on the hope of winning with this core, where half of them were acquired in the 2024 offseason. Some aren't working out, whethe...

The Toronto Maple Leafs need a jolt up front, but it will not be Jordan Kyrou. On The Jeff Marek Show , insider Jeff Marek flatly said there is no chance the St. Louis Blues winger lands in Toronto. Marek pointed to the obvious complication. Craig Berube is the Maple Leafs head coach and he previously coached Kyrou in St. Louis. That history makes a reunion in Toronto highly unlikely.

The St. Louis Blues are second last in the NHL and it isn't going to be easy to turn things around. The team can't go into a full rebuild, but there are certainly pieces that can be sold off to retool. This is a team that has been stuck in the middle for the past number of years and needs to move off some of their veterans to make room for the youth. Jeff Marek said, "I wonder at which point we start to say, I wonder where Brayden Schenn, Jordan Binnington, and Justin Faulk are going to end up...

Sportsnet’s Alex Adams thinks there’s a path for the Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins to become trade partners if timing breaks right. Ottawa is aggressively looking to add another winger and a right-shot defenseman, but with no first-round pick and a thin prospect pool beyond Carter Yakemchuk and Logan Hensler, a trade built around roster players makes the most sense.
