Vegas Coach John Tortorella Makes Bold Claim
It wasn't exactly a Mark Messier moment, but Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella did his best impersonation, making a bold claim as his team heads home for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final down 3 games to 2. They will need to pull off a win at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night to extend the series to a 7th game in Carolina. And it sounds like Torts is pretty certain that's going to happen. John Tortorella says "we'll be back here" -- seemingly guaran...
NHL Rumors: Surprising New Coaching Candidate Linked To Oilers

Speaking on Frankly Hockey , Seravalli said the Oilers may need to think outside the box depending on how the Mike Babcock situation resolves. "If not Bruce Cassidy, if not Mike Babcock, Laviolette is already gone," Seravalli said. "Prepare yourself for the possibility of Darryl Sutter. I'...
NHL Rumors: Senators & Canucks Linked To Trade
Two league sources confirmed to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun that the Ottawa Senators are among a group of teams that have shown interest in acquiring Vancouver Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk.

Sabres Trade Rumors: Alex Tuch Situation Could Force Trade Of Buffalo Blueliner
The Alex Tuch situation continues to drag on for the Buffalo Sabres, and it's starting to look more and more like he's going to the open market July 1. David Pagnotta and Irfan Gaffar spoke about the pending UFA's situation on DFO Rundown on Thursday, and Pagnotta said that "As of now, he's going to free agency... Unless there is a shift & change from Buffalo's perspective." Indeed, the two sides are not even close. "If this were close, it would be done," added Pagnotta. The inside...
NHLTR Mock Trade: Canadiens Deal Brendan Gallagher for Canucks' Chytil
On June 1st, it was reported that Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher named the Vancouver Canucks as one of his preferred destinations if he becomes a trade piece. The day was somber for the long-time Habs player who has played all 14 seasons of his career in Montreal. While it was his " choice" to leave the team, Gallagher addressed his future in the NHL with reporters. It sounded like there were outside forces applying pressure on the veteran to exit the organization. “It is ...
4 Potential Trade Destinations for Flyers' Owen Tippett
The Philadelphia Flyers have put Owen Tippett on the trade market. Tippett, 27, is signed through the 2032 season at $6.2 million AAV, and with the arrival of Porter Martone, Tippett's been pushed down the depth chart, and the Flyers could be looking to cash in on his strong season. The 27-year-old winger scored 28 goals and 51 points in 81 games last season, and owns a 10-team no-trade clause, so he'll have some say in the matter. Daily Faceoff's Matt Larkin recently had Tippett on his summer...
Report: Hurricanes Tried To Acquire Sergei Bobrovsky At Trade Deadline
The Carolina Hurricanes are two wins away from a Stanley Cup. They've gotten some terrific performances between the pipes in these playoffs from Frederik Andersen (at least through the first three rounds), and now Brandon Bussi for the last game-and-a-half in the Final. But the Canes' goaltending situation could have been a whole lot different if they had been able to convince the Florida Panthers to deal them pending unrestricted free agent Sergei Bobrovsky. Insider Pierre LeBrun ...

NHL Trade Rumors: Sharks Make Trade Offers for Oilers' Darnell Nurse
The Edmonton Oilers' blueline will look a little different next season, as veteran Darnell Nurse has requested a trade. Nurse admits he's ready for a change of scenery, and general manager Stan Bowman is now tasked with facilitating a trade for his most expensive d-man. Insert the San Jose Sharks. GM Mike Grier is looking to fill out his defense core, as the Sharks only have two defencemen signed to NHL contracts for next season. Nurse fits the bill as a potential target, and also helps that S...
Zach Werenski To Request Trade From Blue Jackets?
There has been some buzz around the league that, following Dylan Larkin's trade request, Columbus Blue Jackets Norris Trophy winner Zach Werenski could be considering doing the same. But insider Pierre LeBrun threw some cold water on that rumor... Kind of. I can tell you as of Wednesday afternoon, I’m told there has not been any communication to the Columbus Blue Jackets indicating that kind of thing on Werenski, who has two more years on his deal. But while he insisted that Werens...

Senators To Have Active Offseason; 1 Trade Target Revealed
Steve Staios was in Buffalo last week for the NHL Draft Combine, and per Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun , he was busy meeting with league executives and player agents to see what might be available via trade or free agency.

Staios is not rolling back to training camp with the same group. The slim free agent market is pu...
NHL Rumors: Connor Hellebuyck Eyeing Trade To Panthers?
Connor Hellebuyck did not hide his frustration after the Winnipeg Jets missed the playoffs. At his end-of-season media availability, he called the team's performance unacceptable, shouldered his share of the blame, but made clear that things had to change if Winnipeg was going to become a Stanley Cup contender. Those comments were pointed enough that David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported increasing chatter around the league regarding Hellebuyck's availability, noting that teams beli...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs Rejecting Matthew Knies Trade Offers

NHL Free Agency: Bobby McMann Linked to Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, but the fact of the matter is, not only will their coaching staff look different next season, so will their roster. General manager Stan Bowman's leash isn't super long, so it will be important for the Oilers exec to hit some home runs this summer, including on the free-agent market, which opens July 1. The Oilers will try to make a move or two to free up some cap space, and expect to see them land a couple of win...

New Allegation Emerging Against Babcock, As Oilers Hire Still On Hold
The Edmonton Oilers/Mike Babcock Saga is taking a new turn, according to insider Frank Seravalli.

With the recent reports that Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson is still "tradeable", even at his $11.6M AAV for another six years, viable suitors this summer have begun to be linked to the disappointing Swede.

Kyle Dubas held a nearly 40-minute end-of-season press conference and by the time it was over, the team's next steps seemed pretty clear.

Per Pittsburgh Hockey Now's Dan Kingerski , Dubas said explicitly that he wants to acquire impact players in their mid-to-late 20s who can play immediately and be part of the franchise's future simultaneously...
NHL Rumors: Blackhawks Exploring Trade Market For Veteran Defenseman
Kyle Davidson had a simple explanation for why the Chicago Blackhawks ' defense struggled down the stretch of the 2025-26 season. He traded Connor Murphy away and expected the all-24-or-younger group behind him to handle the load. They clearly could not. "We wanted to see how it went," Davidson said at the NHL Draft Combine this week. "We're certainly engaged in trying to be aggressive and seeing what we can do to help the group because we believe in the group as currently constructed." ...
Insider Drops The Latest On Sebastian Cossa To Oilers Rumors
The word started emanating out on social media Monday night that Detroit Red Wings goaltender Sebastian Cossa was being traded to the Edmonton Oilers.

7 Players Named As Offer Sheet Candidates This Summer
Everyone thought that last offseason would be the Summer of the Offer Sheet. But that fell flat. Not one. Nada. Could this be the year, then, that teams begin to go wild on offer sheets? Perhaps the extremely thin unrestricted free agent market could steer clubs to the RFA set as a means of adding impact to their NHL rosters. To that end, Rory Boylen of Sportsnet offered up seven players who could be candidates to be offer sheeted. But it should be noted that the stakes (i.e. compe...
