4 Potential Trade Destinations for Rangers' Vincent Trocheck
The New York Rangers are once again shopping Vincent Trocheck. The two-way center was taken out of the lineup last season, that's how engaged the trade talks were, however, no deal was struck, and Trocheck awkwardly finished the season in New York.

Some feel there could be most of the Canadian teams includ...

Nashville, by contrast, has barely moved publicly despite conducting a wide-ranging interview process behind closed doors. The Predato...

4 Dallas Stars Trade Candidates To Make Room for Jason Robertson Contract
The Dallas Stars are licking their wounds after getting ousted in the first round, far below their high expectations for this season. But they have another big battle to face this summer, in how to find the cap space and re-sign 40-goal scorer and restricted free agent Jason Robertson to a new deal. Rumors have Robertson wanting Mikko Rantanen money (i.e. $12 million AAV), while the Stars have apparently stopped well short of that in their last offer. The Stars have just about $11M in ca...
Breaking: Edmonton Oilers Finally Make Decision on Kris Knoblauch
It was an uncomfortable situation going on in Edmonton, to say the least. When word got out that the Oilers had asked for permission to speak with top available coach Bruce Cassidy—while their own head coach was still employed—it became an untenable situation. The Oil have finally put Knoblauch out of his misery, and on Thursday morning word has dropped that they have officially "relieved him of his coaching duties." He got the word last night. The Edmonton Oilers have relieved Kri...

Blue Jackets Received Enormous Trade Interest In Charlie Coyle
Charlie Coyle had options. Lots of them. Don Waddell made that clear when he announced that the Columbus Blue Jackets had signed the veteran center to a six-year, $36 million extension through the 2031-32 season. "I've had probably 10-12 calls in the last couple of weeks about what our plans were with Charlie and would we consider trading his rights," Waddell said. The answer was no every time. Newly re-signed #CBJ Charlie Coyle joined the show to talk about his team's head coach Rick ...
Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb Handed Suspension
The Vegas Golden Knights have managed to get by without a top-line forward in Mark Stone the past couple of games. Now they'll have to go into Game 6 of their series with the Anaheim Ducks without a top-four defenseman in Brayden McNabb. He's been suspended by the NHL for one game for driving Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Poehling into the boards, with the puck nowhere near him. Brayden McNabb has been SUSPENDED for Game 6 as a result of this hit on Ryan Poehling during Game 5 pic.twitter.c...
Oilers Destroyed All Over NHL For Their Handling of Cassidy/Knoblauch Affair
Kris Knoblauch has been left twisting in the wind after the news leaked this week that the Edmonton Oilers asked for—but were denied—permission to speak to Bruce Cassidy about their head coaching job.

NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs' Matthews Linked to Utah Mammoth
The next month for the Toronto Maple Leafs could be their most important in roughly 10 years. Freshly minted general manager John Chayka is set to meet with Auston Matthews over the course of the next two weeks to try and convince the Leafs' captain to return to Toronto next season. With Craig Berube fired, it certainly opens up a clean slate for the organization, even though Chayka admitted he didn't consult with any of the players on the decision. If Matthews isn't interested in heading back...
UFA Goaltender Stuart Skinner Linked to Atlantic Division Team
If Sergei Bobrovsky doesn't make it to July 1, Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Stuart Skinner will be one of the top netminders set to be on the free agent market this summer. But will his next job be as a starter or a backup, or something in between?

But overall, Skinner has pl...
