4 Free-Agent Destinations for Michael Bunting
Michael Bunting continues to be one of the better free-agent wingers left on the open market. The pesky forward is mulling over several offers, as he's certainly being patient with his decision on which team he's going to play for next season, and beyond. Bunting, 30, appeared in 61 games for the Nashville Predators last season before being moved to the Dallas Stars for their stretch, and Stanley Cup Playoff run. Bunting combined for 14 goals and 19 assists in 74 games, and also had one assis...
5 Landing Spots For Kraken Trade Candidate Shane Wright
For teams still in the market for a center, the pickings have become awfully slim around the NHL. The UFA market has been almost completely picked clean of any high-upside pivots. That's why teams are turning to trades to address their needs more and more this summer. Sure, Dylan Larkin is still out there, supposedly, but his three- or four-team trade list doesn't help the other 28 teams around the league. So, how about Shane Wright? The Seattle Kraken's 4th overall pick (2022 Draf...

Flyers' Extension Talks With Jamie Drysdale Hit A Speed Bump
Now that the Leo Carlsson thing is over with, the Flyers still have $29.5 million in cap space to work with this summer. And they've got at least two important extensions to get done asap.

Patrik Laine continues to be the biggest wild-card available on the free-agent market. Yes, he's going to have to settle for a one-year contract loaded with incentives, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty of interest in the former No.2 overall pick. Laine is reportedly discussing contract terms with a number of teams, including the Seattle Kraken, Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets, and New York Islanders. There's a lot of unknown to Laine's game as he only played a handful of games last seas...

Penguins & Stars Continue To Discuss Jason Robertson Trade
The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to pursue Dallas Stars superstar Jason Robertson in trade talks.

The Anaheim Ducks have until Friday to decide if they are matching the bombshell $18M AAV offer sheet the Philadelphia Flyers dropped on Leo Carlsson last week.
