Tampa Bay Lighting Have Multiple Trade Offers Rejected
The Tampa Bay Lightning have been working the phones trying to pull of a preseason trade, but turns out they've had zero luck finding a trade partner. The Lightning have been trying to move goaltender Jonas Johansson since they've acquired Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier in the offseason. Hildeby was acquired for versatile forward Nick Paul. #GoBolts have placed G Jonas Johansson on waivers today as they’ve been looking to find a new team for him after acquiring Dennis Hild...
Ex-Oilers Stanley Cup Champion Mark Messier 'Horrified' With Mike Babcock Hiring
Once considered top-tier Stanley Cup contenders, the Edmonton Oilers experienced turnover in the front office once ex-general manager Ken Holland's contract expired. Holland made some controversial moves throughout his career, including collecting veterans like infinity stones. Somehow his teams managed to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals twice at the end of his five-year tenure in Edmonton. They were defeated by a tougher, faster Florida Panthers team both times, and after Holland's co...
2 Veteran Goalies Top List Of Waiver Wire Additions On Wednesday
Everyone applauded the NHL's decision to cut down on the number of preseason games this year. Nobody wants to see players get injured in these exhibition games that don't count. Yet... Injuries have been piling up around the league. Just ask the Buffalo Sabres . Things were looking even more troublesome for the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday night when starting goalie Dan Vladar was forced to leave the exhibition game in the first period with an undisclosed injury. Fortunately, the news t...
Senators Get Tough Update on Artem Zub Timeline
The news is not great for the Ottawa Senators on top-pairing defenseman Artem Zub. He hasn't been working out at camp due to a knee injury from last season's playoffs that still hasn't healed, and head coach Travis Green has confirmed that “ I don’t see him being ready to start the season with where he’s at right now." Travis Green says he doesn't see Artem Zub "being ready to start the season." #Sens Still has a lingering knee injury from the playoff series against the Hurricanes. — Bru...
UFA Logan Stanley Waits For A Call After 2 Sabres Defensemen Injured
The Buffalo Sabres already find themselves in a bit of a bind. Two key defensemen are now out with injuries from preseason action. Could this create an opening for the return of unsigned unrestricted free agent Logan Stanley? Owen Zellweger was levelled Tuesday night by Carson Soucy, and has officially been diagnosed with a concussion. Oh no Olen Zellweger gets hit hard by Carson Soucy and stays down on the ice for a while pic.twitter.com/xvs1uGCA7w — Crossing Swords ⚔️ (@CrossSwordsPod...
VIDEO: Flyers' Daniel Vladar Injured During Preseason Game
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Daniel Vladar left Tuesday's preseason game with an upper-body injury. Against the Boston Bruins, Vladar mishandled a dump in into the Flyers' zone, and eventually tried to gather the puck, and meanwhile Bruins' pesky forward Tanner Jeannot made contact with Vladar's right arm. It didn't look good, and considering Vladar's health history, there's certainly a level of concern in Philly that's not exactly ideal heading into the season opener next week. Vladar could...
3 Rangers Stars Could Hit Trade Market If Season Goes Sideways
The New York Rangers have already torn down much of the core that took them to the Eastern Conference Final two years ago. According to insider David Pagnotta , an even more dramatic phase of that overhaul could be waiting if the season starts badly. "I am very curious to see how the first quarter of the season goes for the New York Rangers," Pagnotta said. "If it goes to dog crap, I fully expect, I'm not saying it's gonna happen, I'm just saying if this were to happen at the quarter mar...
Devils Reveal Stance On Trading For Connor Hellebuyck
The New Jersey Devils have been one of the natural landing spots whenever Connor Hellebuyck's name comes up in trade rumors. GM Sunny Mehta just made clear that's not necessarily how he sees it. Asked about his approach to goaltending in an interview with NHL.com , Mehta gave a blunt answer. "Goaltending has changed dramatically during the past 20 years. Starters and backups are extremely talented, which can make performance difficult to predict," Mehta said. "Because there is randomness...
$49 Million Rangers Defenseman Breaks Silence On Trade Rumors
Vladislav Gavrikov finally addressed the trade speculation that's followed him all summer. He didn't shut it down. Speaking with the New York Post on September 22, Gavrikov was asked about his future and the rumors surrounding it after a first season with the New York Rangers that looked nothing like what either side signed up for. "Well, probably no one in the locker room was happy with how we ended up during the season and everything," Gavrikov said. What He Actually Said, And Wh...
Senators owner Andlauer opens up on Brady Tkachuk trade: Family 'got in his kitchen'
Ottawa Senators owner Michael Andlauer has opened up about the Brady Tkachuk trade. And he was brutally honest: The Tkachuk clan "got in his kitchen." Pierre LeBrun talked to the Senators' boss and recounted the conversation in The Athletic. It might not surprise anyone to learn that brother Matthew and father Keith put the pressure on, per Andlauer. Blood is thicker than water, and let’s just say that his father and his brother got in his kitchen... Ultimately, the decision was made to ...

Minnesota Wild fans have been waiting on a big announcement, to hear GM Bill Guerin to finally secure an extension for superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes. Guerin got an extension done today, alright.

Western Conference Team Urged To Make Big Pitch For Hellebuyck
With all the talk about the Buffalo Sabres and the Carolina Hurricanes, there's a team out West that should think long and hard about swinging a deal for Connor Hellebuyck. That's the word from former NHL goalie and TSN hockey analyst Jamie McLennan. Speaking on the Donnie & Dhali Show, McLennan urged the San Jose Sharks to make a pitch to the Winnipeg Jets for the three-time Vezina Trophy winner. "If I'm San Jose, I take a pretty good look at him.." @jamiemclennan29 on the best landing ...
Blue Jackets In Advanced Trade Talks On Multiple Players
The 2026-27 NHL season is upon us, and when it comes to the early-season trade market, keep an eye on the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yes, they should have bigger things to worry about considering Adam Fantilli doesn't have a contract and isn't in training camp, however, their front office has been busy discussing trades around Kirill Marchenko and Dmitri Voronkov. Chris Johnston: One guy that I do think is out there for the Blue Jackets...Dmitri Voronkov's name is floated a little bit, I think he'...
Free-Agent Vladimir Tarasenko Closing In On New Contract
The Florida Panthers may be bringing back a familiar face. According to multiple reports, the Florida Panthers continue to monitor the status of the free-agent forward, and there's been some speculation that they're working on a one-year deal. The Panthers are in a cap crunch, dealing with a few injuries, and have a need for Tarasenko to fill.

Pittsburgh Penguins' Ben Kindel Suffers Lower-Body Injury
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Monday night that center Ben Kindel suffered a lower-body injury against the Buffalo Sabres. Kindel left Monday's game after the first period, and it was unclear exactly what caused the injury. Kindel did crash into the net earlier in the period, and was a little slow to get up. While he managed to still play the rest of the period, many are pointing to this instance as the reason. Kindel isn't expected to suit up on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings, and...
Blues Letting Teams Know Multiple Players Are Available
The St. Louis Blues have a numbers problem at forward, and according to Elliotte Friedman, the team isn't waiting around for it to sort itself out on its own. "One thing I kind of heard is that in St. Louis, for example, they have a bunch of NHL guys who are kind of in the bottom six, and not all of them are going to make their team," Friedman said on the 32 Thoughts Podcast . "And I think the Blues have let it be known that if you want some NHL depth, deeper in your roster, guys who've played...
Penguins Roster Crunch Could Force Trade Before Opening Night
The Pittsburgh Penguins have an unusual problem heading into training camp: too much of a good thing up front, and not quite enough on the back end. Pittsburgh currently has somewhere between 17 and 18 players who could reasonably play NHL minutes at forward, for a roster that realistically only has 13 spots to give. The Penguins have re-signed restricted free agent forward Ville Koivunen to an eight-year contract. — Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) August 6, 2026 Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust, Ric...
Avalanche Building Toward Trade Deadline Move
The Colorado Avalanche don't think there's a clean answer to replacing Valeri Nichushkin. According to Denver Post insider Corey Masisak , part of their plan is to simply wait and see what the trade deadline offers instead. Asked how Colorado moves forward without the two-way winger, goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood didn't sugarcoat it. "I don't know that you do," Blackwood said. "I think there's guys that will fill roles and take positions, but I don't think you necessarily get a new Vale...
'Only A Matter Of Time' Before Auston Matthews Teams Up With Gavin McKenna—Maple Leafs Analyst
All we have is one game under our belts—and a meaningless exhibition game, at that—and the talk is already heating up about when Toronto Maple Leafs rookie phenom Gavin McKenna will be teaming up with captain Auston Matthews. The No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft began his professional journey by skating alongside his de facto substitute father figure, John Tavares, and William Nylander. Not a bad spot to be in your first NHL experience, by any measure. But with the skill McK...
Sharks Are The Last Team In The NHL Without An Ad On Their Jersey
The San Jose Sharks ' future is bright, as they've accumulated talent across their lineup and recently signed first-round pick Ivar Stenberg. General manager Mike Grier has set up the team for success as an eventual contender in the NHL, if Macklin Celebrini can be the one to help lead them into April and beyond once he matures as a leader. While they've been categorized as bottom dwellers and one of the worst teams while still building chemistry between their players, they've done...
Report: Alex Formenton Chose Oilers Over 2 Cup Contenders
The Edmonton Oilers surprised many observers around the NHL when they signed Alex Formenton earlier this month after four years out of the NHL. But as it turns out, they weren't the only contending team pursuing the former Ottawa Senator in his return to the NHL. According to insider Darren Dreger, Formenton chose the Oil over both of last year's Stanley Cup Finalists. Darren Dreger says the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights both had serious interest in signing Alex Formenton. But F...

Adam Fantilli Contract Ask Takes A Hit After Recent Development
Adam Fantilli is still not at Columbus Blue Jackets ' training camp, as the restricted free agent is without a contract, and the two sides are still battling over what his value should be on a new deal. Certainly, as has been noted, there was a "Before Carlsson" price earlier in the summer — i.e. before the $18M AAV offer sheet for Leo Carlsson — and a much higher "After Carlsson" price . Another potential comp includes the $15M AAV that Connor Bedard signed for on his new deal with the ...
Insiders: Marchenko Trade ‘Tricky Business’ For Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets' tough offseason is dragging on into training camp. The Zach Werenski situation from earlier in the summer is under control for now, but the Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko problems persist. With the latter, Marchenko still has one year to run on his contract, at a bargain $3.85 million this coming season. But all signs point to him not re-signing in Columbus, and his gathering with the media at camp a couple of days ago did absolutely nothing to calm those f...
