Insider: NHL Executives 'Believe Matthew Knies Will Be Traded'
They say where there's smoke, there's fire. And there's certainly plenty of smoke swirling around Toronto Maple Leafs' prized young power forward Matthew Knies these days. The recent leak that the previous Leafs administration actually had a deal DONE for Knies at the trade deadline , only to be killed by arriving at the NHL offices one minute late, has ramped up teams' (and fans') interest across the league. On Wednesday, NHL insider Darren Dreger told Gino Reda on TSN's That's Hockey t...
NHL Trade: Sharks & Sabres Pull Off Swap For Michael Kesselring
The San Jose Sharks need to populate their blueline. Badly. They had only two NHL defensemen signed for next season. And the Buffalo Sabres were looking to offload some salary to free up cap space, and move up in the draft. Today's trade addresses both of those issues, as the Sharks have landed Michael Kesselring from Buffalo in exchange for a swap of first-round picks. WE’VE GOT A TRADE 🔀 Hello Michael Kesselring and 27th overall! — San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) June 17, 2026 The Sabres al...
Report: Hurricanes Turned Down Jason Robertson Deal From Dallas Stars
They're likely not regretting it now, as they drink from Lord Stanley's mug, but the Carolina Hurricanes reportedly could have had Jason Robertson from the Dallas Stars, but turned it down in favor of Logan Stankoven. Insider Chris Johnston tells us the story, going back to the 2025 trade deadline, when the Hurricanes had a big decision to make with their huge recent trade acquisition Mikko Rantanen. Once it was clear he wasn't gonna sign an extension before the (trade) deadline, they went out...
Maple Leafs Name Jim Hiller As New Head Coach

NHL Rumors: Oilers & Senators Linked To Trade
The Ottawa Senators acquired Jordan Spence from the Los Angeles Kings for a third-round pick and a sixth-round pick at last year's draft. Now they are gauging what he might bring back in a trade. Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reported that three league executives told the Citizen in the past 72 hours that the Senators have been testing the market to see what they could command for the 25-year-old right-shot defenseman, who is a restricted free agent with the right to file for arbitr...
NHL Rumors: Big Trade Update Revealed On Morgan Rielly
The Morgan Rielly trade conversation is generating plenty of noise this offseason. The facts on the ground are considerably quieter. TSN's Chris Johnston addressed the situation on social media, pushing back on reports that had circulated earlier in the week suggesting Rielly had already submitted a trade list or taken steps toward approving a move. "Sources say Morgan Rielly hasn't green-lighted a trade by waiving his NMC at this point in time," Johnston wrote. "Any reports to the contr...
Report: Canadiens' Montembeault linked to Edmonton Oilers
The Montreal Canadiens have had success in selecting goaltenders through the draft, as Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler have turned out to be great players in the postseason.

According to a report from Maxime Truman on X, the Oilers have checked in on the Canadiens former starting goalie. 🥅 Selon mes informations, les Oilers auraient un intérêt important ...

NHLTR Mock Trade: Golden Knights Make Massive 2-For-1 Deal for Dylan Larkin
The Vegas Golden Knights came within two wins of a Stanley Cup, but will spend this offseason trying to figure out what they need to do to take those last steps. Anytime there's a shiny new toy on the market, Vegas is usually one of the first in line to try to acquire it. Would the newly available Dylan Larkin be of interest? The Detroit Red Wings captain has asked for a trade out of the Motor City, and though Vegas has Jack Eichel, William Karlsson (when healthy) and Tomas H...
John Tortorella Will NOT Return as Vegas Golden Knights Head Coach

NHL Rumors: 2 Teams To Explore Blake Coleman Trade This Offseason
Blake Coleman survived the March 6 trade deadline as a Calgary Flame , but the conversations that surrounded him between November and the deadline have not gone away. They have simply been postponed. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported in his post-deadline breakdown that even after the Dallas Stars acquired Michael Bunting, Dallas kept tabs on Coleman and were planning to circle back if they could clear enough cap room to make the money work. That conversation is now a summer co...

Agent Says His Players Will Not Want To Go To Edmonton If Babcock Is Head Coach
Yet another troublesome twist for the Edmonton Oilers in the Mike Babcock saga. Though this one should hardly come as a surprise.

Insiders Name 6 Best UFA Fits For Patrik Laine
Patrik Laine's days with the Montreal Canadiens are over. This, we already know. The unrestricted free agent had a lost season in 2025-26, playing only five games in October, then going down to injury and never returning to the Habs lineup. Laine fell out of favor in Montreal, but let's not forget that he's only 28 years old and has no less than seven 20-goal seasons in his 10 years in the NHL. He popped 20 as recently as 2024-25 in his first year with the Habs. He has 224 career goals. ...

As the team makes room for the continued promotion of prospects into the NHL, the bottom six, which has been occupied by veterans, will be cleared out, along with their contracts. Since Mikheyev was unable to reach an agreement for a new contract with general manager Kyle Davidson of the Blackhawks, he'll be able to fetch a raise on the market after his $4.75 million average annual valu...

The Edmonton Oilers will have to wait to introduce Mike Babcock as their newest head coach. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman confirmed Monday that the NHL has officially opened an investigation against Babcock for what took place during 2023, when the polarizing head coach was hired, then essentially fired before ever stepping behind the Blue Jackets' bench. Sources indicate there will be multiple parties interviewed as part of the process. At issue is whether there will be any further penalty or...

Insider Reports Flyers Close To Locking Up Dan Vladar
When the Philadelphia Flyers signed perennial backup goalie Dan Vladar to compete for a starting job last summer, they couldn't have imagined it would turn out the way it did. Vladar proved himself to be a legit starter between the pipes, and was a huge reason the Flyers were able to surge into the playoffs for the first time in six years. Now, with only one year left on Vladar's two-year contract with a $3.35 million AAV, the two sides are close to a long-term extension. 👀 Per sou...
