Report: New York Islanders Offered Patrik Laine A Chance To Revive His Career
The New York Islanders are serious about improving their power play. The team, which is led by general manager Matthieu Darche, is still on the hunt to improve its forward group. One player they took a shot at is a star who has waned in recent years, as Patrik Laine suffered through injuries and a short stint in the NHL/NHLPA Players Assistance Program while still a Columbus Blue Jackets player. Laine, originally a 2nd overall pick in 2015, is a sniper and has played 537 games in t...
Red Wings Have Expressed Interest In Eeli Tolvanen
The Detroit Red Wings are searching for scoring help, and one of the best wingers still available has become a target. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period on the DFO Rundown, the Red Wings have expressed interest in free agent forward Eeli Tolvanen, viewing him as an option to fill a role in their top-six. The interest stems from a clear hole in the lineup. Filling The Kane Void Detroit's need for a top-six winger grew after Patrick Kane departed for the Chicago Blackhawks. Pagnott...
Senators Linked To Three Forward Trade Candidates
The Ottawa Senators have spent the entire offseason searching for scoring help, and as training camp nears, a few names remain on their radar. Per The Hockey News , with Ottawa still looking to add a pure sniper, Brock Boeser of the Vancouver Canucks, Pavel Zacha of the Boston Bruins, and Kirill Marchenko of the Columbus Blue Jackets are the forwards who could fit the bill. GM Steve Staios has openly acknowledged the need, saying the Senators finished eighth in goals last season but lack a t...
Connor Bedard Makes Surprising Statement On Offer Sheet Possibilities Earlier This Summer
It's been almost a week now since restricted free agent Connor Bedard signed his big contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks. But after his draft class counterpart Leo Carlsson signed an $18 million AAV offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers, only to be matched by the Anaheim Ducks, many around the sport wondered if Bedard could be one of the next then-unsigned young stars to get a huge offer sheet. But the Hawks' star center set the record straight on that during an interview on Frid...
Should The Oilers Reunite With 'Apex Predator' Evander Kane?
The Edmonton Oilers have had a busy offseason, trading hard-nosed two-way defenseman Darnell Nurse and augmenting their goaltender depth with Devon Levi. The former two-time Stanley Cup contenders remain without edge: a player who can shoot, fight, and hit. They expected Trent Frederic to fulfill that role, as he had in Boston, but he couldn't perform up to expectations, as the once forty-point forward we saw under Jim Montgomery. Evander Kane That player was on the roster in 2022,...
Panthers Come To Terms With New Goaltender

Metropolitan Team Linked To Canadiens RFA Arber Xhekaj
There's been a lot of discussion this offseason about whether restricted free agent Arber Xhekaj would be returning to the Montreal Canadiens . It's unknown whether the rugged defenseman will have a regular role this coming season, which, so far, has made it difficult for the two sides to agree on a new contract. As a result, trade rumors have emerged. The latest of which has the Philadelphia Flyers showing interest in Xhekaj. Insider David Pagnotta noted on the DFO Rundown thi...
One Team Was Willing To Pay Bowen Byram $14M Per Year
Bowen Byram landed a massive payday this summer, and it could have been even bigger. Per Byram's agent Darren Ferris , one team went as high as $14 million per season during conversations about what the defenseman was seeking. Elliotte Friedman offered more detail on the 32 Thoughts Podcast , reporting that the offer would have been a four-year deal at a $14 million annual salary.

Canucks Ownership Wants $20M Cut From Payroll
The Vancouver Canucks ' rebuild has a dollar figure attached to it. Per Patrick Johnston of The Province , league sources told Postmedia that Canucks ownership has said it would like to reduce player payroll by up to $20 million compared to last season. Vancouver is already more than halfway there. Johnston noted the team is down roughly $12 million from where it finished last season, thanks to salary drops on existing contracts like Jake DeBrusk and Filip Hronek along with the departures ...
Former Stanley Cup Champion Jack Johnson Joins OSU Women's Hockey Coaching Staff
Jack Johnson 's career was riddled with controversy, as it was revealed that his family was stealing from him, to the tune of millions of dollars. That kind of story didn't stick around for long, for Johnson whose been a known competitor throughout his career. After abandoning the Columbus Blue Jackets the first time, he'd join the Pittsburgh Penguins, and as a journeyman, won his first Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022. Later, he'd find himself back in the Union Blue...
3 Toronto Maple Leafs Trade Candidates As Changes Continue
John Chayka has made significant changes to the Toronto Maple Leafs roster heading into next season, and it sounds like the new general manager is far from finished. Chayka continues to discuss trades with multiple teams, and there's a very good chance the Leafs make another move, or two, before the start of training camp in September. Chayka has already dealt Nick Robertson, Brandon Carlo, Joseph Woll, Simon Benoit, and let Matias Maccelli and Calle Jarnkrok walk. There's been plenty of chatt...
3 Detroit Red Wings Trade Candidates As Retool Continues
Steve Yzerman is out, but that doesn't mean there won't be significant changes to the Detroit Red Wings roster. While a search for a new general manager continues, once named, expect to see multiple moves ahead of next season. Here's three Red Wings that you can include on your trade radar: Dylan Larkin Easy one first as this is low-hanging fruit. Larkin and Yzerman didn't see eye to eye, but that doesn't mean Larkin is rescinding his trade offer. The Red Wings' captain wants out, and after mu...
Report: Canucks' Elias Pettersson Rejected Offseason Trade Offers
It's not secret the Vancouver Canucks are open to moving Elias Pettersson, but it turns out, the Swedish center hasn't been interested with the options presented to him so far this summer. Pettersson owns a full no-movement clause, and has full control over his own destiny. The Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the teams who have made a trade offer for Pettersson this summer, but again, he wasn't interested in waiving his no-movement clause. Josh Yohe: Everything I’ve heard suggests that Elias P...
Top Landing Spots For Free Agent Logan Stanley
Logan Stanley remains unsigned deep into the summer, and he stands as the top unrestricted free agent defenseman still available. The 28-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, setting new highs with nine goals, 17 assists, 26 points, and 128 penalty minutes across 76 games split between the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres after a March trade.

Mitch Marner's Agent Blasts Maple Leafs
His first year with the Vegas Golden Knights went pretty well, including an outstanding playoff performance that saw him lead the entire Stanley Cup playoffs with 29 points in 22 games. A performance that should have put to rest the narrative of being a playoff choker. But one year after he left town, Mitch Marner's camp is still coming at the Toronto Maple Leafs organization and its fans. In a newly released interview on the PuckPedia podcast , Marner's agent Darren Ferris blasted...
Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud's Next Contract Projected At Huge Number
The next wave of the St. Louis Blues forward group is taking shape, and Jimmy Snuggerud is looking like the best of the bunch. The 22-year-old former first-rounder had an outstanding rookie season, finishing 5th in Calder Trophy balloting and making the NHL's All-Rookie First Team. But his 21 goals, 51 points and +16 rating in 70 games aren't the only big numbers surrounding Snuggerud. The young forward with the heavy shot is going into the final year of his entry-level contract, and is curren...

Senators & Flyers Linked To Offseason Trade
The Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the busiest teams throughout this offseason, and while trade talks have quieted down of late, it sounds like if general manager Daniel Briere is going to pull off a trade, it could be with an Eastern Conference team. According to Anthony DiMarco of Daily Faceoff , the Flyers and Senators have been linked recently in trade talks and there's potential for a deal between the two clubs to transpire. Rasmus Ristolainen could be involved, and don't be s...
Matthew Schaefer 'In No Rush' To Become Islanders' Captain
Matthew Schaefer, the next captain of the New York Islanders? Not so fast. The Calder Trophy winning defenseman isn't in any rush to wear the 'C' on Long Island, after Anders Lee signed with the Utah Mammoth this summer, and vacated the leadership position. Schaefer's not concerned at all with filling Lee's leadership role. "It would be such an honor (to be captain)," Schaefer told NHL.com at the 12th annual Smilezone Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lionhead Golf Club on Monday. ...
Top Landing Spots For Free Agent Eeli Tolvanen
Eeli Tolvanen remains a free agent deep into the offseason, and is probably one of the five best players still available in the pool. The Seattle Kraken opted not to re-sign the winger, letting him hit the open market on July 1 after he posted 12 goals and 36 points across 78 games while adding a heavy, physical element. The 27-year-old's size and a dip in his shooting percentage last season are among the factors that have kept him unsigned, but his even-strength scoring remains a legit asse...
Jason Robertson Signs One-Year Deal; Sets Up 2027 Free Agency
The Jason Robertson saga is over, at least for the next 12 months. The Dallas Stars announced that they have signed the restricted free agent winger to a one-year contract carrying a $12 million average annual value, avoiding an arbitration hearing that had been scheduled for Saturday. "Jason has been a cornerstone of our franchise since he was drafted in 2017," Stars GM Jim Nill said. "A dynamic and skilled player, he has been one of the league's top offensive threats since making his NHL d...
Free-Agent Vladimir Tarasenko Linked To 4 Teams
Vladimir Tarasenko is still without a contract for next season. The free-agent forward has yet to sign on with another team and remains as one of the best options available for top-six production. Tarasenko isn't the player he once was as a St. Louis Blue, but last season with the Minnesota Wild, the Russian winger posted 23 goals and 47 points in 75 games, and another five points in 11 Stanley Cup Playoff games. According to Julian Gaudio of The Hockey News, Tarasenko is a potential fre...
A Huge $4.7M Gap In Arbitration Filings By Blue Jackets & Jet Greaves
25-year-old Jet Greaves made himself into a legitimate starter in the NHL this past season, starting 53 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets , and posted a .908 save percentage.

The Blue Jackets have filed at $2.8 million, while the Greaves camp has filed at $7.5 million. The hearing is set for T...
Flyers GM Looking To Add 'Big-Time Player' For Power Play
The Philadelphia Flyers were stymied in their attempt to land top young center Leo Carlsson after the massive $18M AAV offer sheet they signed him to was matched by the Anaheim Ducks. But that, apparently, does not mean that GM Danny Briere is done trying to make a splashy move. In fact, he told the media recently that he'd still like to land a "big-time player" to bolster the power play: Daniel Briere on potentially adding a big-name player to improve the Philadelphia Flyers' power play...
