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. The thing is, Knoblauch still holds that job (as of Wednesday evening). In fact, he has a three-year extension that doesn't even kick in until next season . The Oilers are now getting dragged through the mud for their handling of the situation. Jason Gregor wrote in OilersNation that ...
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? He shared duties with Arturs Silovs for much of the season after getting traded to Pittsburgh, and was outplayed by him in a timeshare during the Penguins' six-game first-round playoff loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. But overall, Skinner has pl...
7 Coaches Linked to Maple Leafs Head Coach Position
The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to make headlines off the ice as the team announced on Wednesday they've fired Craig Berube from his head coaching position. Now, John Chayka and Mats Sundin get to bring in a fresh perspective behind the bench and hopefully the players will respond next season. There's been several names already linked to the Leafs bench, including Bruce Cassidy, who recently tried to interview with the Edmonton Oilers, but was denied by the Vegas Golden Knights, who still hav...
First Intriguing Name Emerges As Strong Candidate For Next Maple Leafs Head Coach
The dust hasn't yet settled on the firing of head coach Craig Berube Wednesday morning, but we're already hearing of a notable name being attached to the Toronto Maple Leafs' new opening behind the bench. Insider Elliotte Friedman tells us on Wednesday that former Leafs assistant and current Abbotsford Canucks head coach Manny Malhotra is now a prime candidate for the Toronto job. I did have a couple of candidates say to me that the Leafs wouldn't be afraid in trying an up-and-comer, a first t...
Surprising Factor Helped Lead To Ryan Johnson's Pending Hire as Canucks GM
The rumors emerged yesterday that Vancouver Canucks' valued assistant GM Ryan Johnson will be named the new general manager (or whatever title they land on). The announcement should be coming anytime now. We're getting more details now on the impending hiring on Wednesday, as we hear that it's a three-year deal for Johnson, and that he'll be working under the Sedin twins in the front office. But another surprising detail came from Insider Rick Dhaliwal, who tells us that John...
Toronto Maple Leafs Fire Head Coach Craig Berube
The Toronto Maple Leafs fired head coach Craig Berube, ending a two-year tenure that produced an Atlantic Division title in its first season and a 28th-place finish and first playoff miss since 2016 in its second. New general manager John Chayka made the announcement in a statement issued by the club. "Craig is a tremendous coach and an even better person," Chayka said. "This decision is more reflective of an organizational shift and an opportunity for a fresh start than it is an evaluatio...
NHL Rumors: Oilers Linked To Two Trade Targets
The Edmonton Oilers lost to the Anaheim Ducks in six games in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the organizational autopsy that followed has identified two recurring problems that GM Stan Bowman needs to solve this summer. The blue line needs a right-shot defenseman with size, and the goaltending needs an answer beyond the current group. Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Sun identified two trade targets he believes Bowman should pursue to address both. Michael Kesselring -...
Minnesota Wild Prospect Returning To Play In Sweden
Oskar Olausson is heading back to Sweden . Mattias Persson and Johan Svensson of Expressen reported that the Minnesota Wild pending restricted free agent is in the final stages of negotiations with SHL club Frolunda HC, and EliteProspects confirmed the transaction was officially posted. It is a return home for the 23-year-old Stockholm native and prospect whose NHL development has taken one of the more winding roads in recent draft history. Selected 28th overall by the Colorado Avalanche...
Penguins, Malkin working on contract extension
It sounds like Sidney Crosby and the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins are getting their wish. After their season ended after their first-round defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers, Crosby and the rest of the Penguins went public with their thoughts on Evgeni Malkin's future. With the Russian forward's contract expiring this season, there's been plenty of speculation about Malkin's future in Pittsburgh. However, on Tuesday, Kyle Dubas released a statement and made it clear the organization would lo...
NHL Trade Rumors: Flyers listening to trade offers on Matvei Michkov
The Philadelphia Flyers have some big decisions to make this offseason, and they include what to do with former top prospect Matvei Michkov. This season Michkov and head coach Rick Tocchet did not see eye to eye and the promising young forward was in and out of the lineup all the way through the Stanley Cup Playoffs. At just 21 years old and another year left on his entry-level contract, the Flyers are reportedly listening to trade offers this summer, and Michkov could be used to move up the N...
Charlie McAvoy To Miss Start of Next Season With Lengthy Suspension

In Surprising Update, Momentum Changing for Canucks New Hockey Ops Dept.
From all reports as of late Monday night, the Vancouver Canucks were leaning in the direction of Evan Gold as their new general manager. Now new insider information on Tuesday afternoon is that there's "momentum" behind the Canucks leaning towards their current assistant GM Ryan Johnson—for a "head of hockey operations" role. We will see where this goes over the next day or so, but hearing momentum is moving in Ryan Johnson’s direction for Vancouver’s head of hockey operations. Nothing is done...
Report: Oilers Denied Permission To Talk to Top Head Coaching Candidate
The indications of Kris Knoblauch's impending demise as Edmonton Oilers head coach have reached another level, as a report on Tuesday suggests that the Oilers have asked the Vegas Golden Knights for permission to speak to their ex-head coach Bruce Cassidy. Vegas has denied permission for Edmonton, however. League sources say #Oilers have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes. To this point, sources say @GoldenKnights have with...

Wild's McCarron Calls Out Avs' John Manson After 'Dirty' Butt-End
Things are getting chippy between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche. The Avs took Game 4 on Monday night in what was a very testy affair. It included Avalanche defenceman Josh Manson butt-ending Wild forward Michael McCarron, and needless to say McCarron didn't hold back or mince his words. Manson and McCarron got tangled up along the half boards in the first period of Game 4, and Manson delivered one of the dirty butt-ends you'll ever see. He was assessed a four-minute double minor on...
4 Players Linked To Devils If They Trade 12th Overall Pick
The New Jersey Devils held a 2.5 percent chance of jumping to second overall in the Draft Lottery. It did not materialize. They are locked in at 12th overall for the June 26 draft in Buffalo, which means they will not have a shot at Gavin McKenna or Ivar Stenberg, the two players at the top of the class. What they do have is a first-round pick in a draft tier that is valuable as trade currency, a clear and well-documented need for top-six winger help, and a new general manager in Sunny M...
NHL Rumors: Flyers Expected To Make Forward Trade This Offseason
The Philadelphia Flyers were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round, four games against the best defensive team in the playoffs, and the result exposed two things that have been true about this organization all season. The goaltending and the wings are legitimate. The center position needs work. Flyers centers combined to score four goals across ten playoff games this spring. That needs to be fixed before this team becomes a true contender. Sam Carchidi of The Hockey News...
Mitch Marner's Playoff Production Confirms The Worst for the Maple Leafs
Mitch Marner has played in the Vegas Golden Knights system for only a short while after his trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs. After being traded for depth forward Nic Roy, he signed an eight-year, $12 million average annual value deal with the Golden Knights. Coming off a 102-point season in 2024-25, there were questions of whether or not he could replicate his production in Vegas under Bruce Cassidy's system. Now the former Maple Leafs forward, and Selke-Trophy candidate,...
Sharks' William Eklund Becoming Trade Candidate This Summer
Many eyes around the NHL are on the San Jose Sharks and their second overall pick in next month's draft. We all know that they're desperate to land a top-flight defenseman this offseason, and there just happens to be one near the top of the draft. Chase Reid is a 6'2" mobile, puck-handing offensive defenseman who would be an excellent quarterback-type blueliner to team up with Sharks' superstar center Macklin Celebrini for many years to come. However, while Reid is the ...
Sportsnet Takes Heat After Posting AI Pic of Canadiens Nick Suzuki & Family
The Montreal Canadiens and Nick Suzuki have put up fierce resistance to the Buffalo Sabres in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. In game three, the Canadiens put a damper on the hopes the Sabres rode into the second round, hanging six goals on Alex Lyon. Nick Suzki tallied an assist in the victory that night, providing a primary assist on Alex Newhook's goal at 15:14 in the third period against the Sabres. That goal was the Canadiens' sixth of the night and sealed...
Report: Maple Leafs rejecting Matthew Knies trade offers
Brad Treliving almost traded Matthew Knies from the Toronto Maple Leafs shortly after signing him to a six-year contract extension. Now, Treliving is out of a job, and all signs are pointing to Knies staying long term in Toronto. There were multiple reports in March leading up to the trade deadline that Treliving was involved in trade discussions with the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, and Utah Mammoth on Knies, but the talks fizzled out last minute. Meanwhile, John Chayka has now tak...
Report: Senators & Blues Discussed Colton Parayko Trade
Colton Parayko didn't want to join the Buffalo Sabres, what about the Ottawa Senators. Reports have surfaced that both teams have been in contact to discuss the parameters of a Parayko trade, but as we know, his no-trade protection could be a big hurdle. Parayko, 32, is signed through the 2030 season at $6.5 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause that doesn't go down to just 15 teams for two more summers. Bruce Garrioch: The Citizen reported that the Senators kicked tires on Colton Parayko; ...

Maple Leafs part ways with Shane Doan
The shake up in the Toronto Maple Leafs front office continues. After John Chayka and Mats Sundin were brought in to man the ship, there's been several Leafs executives who have fled, and on Monday, the team announced that they've parted ways with Shane Doan. Shane Doan and the Leafs have parted ways. His deal was expiring June 30. Sounds like a mutual decision. Doan was brought in by former Leafs GM Brad Treliving. Doan recently interviewed in Vancouver. We’ll see where Doan ends up but he’s ...
