Montreal Canadiens & Philadelphia Flyers Linked To Interesting Trade

The Montreal Canadiens are a team to watch on the trade market, as GM Kent Hughes knows his team is close to being a Stanley Cup contender, and with the need for another top-six forward, insert the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers are struggling this season and are one of the league's worst teams. They have a bunch of underperforming players on their roster, and GM Daniel Briere has no choice but to make some drastic changes to his roster. While there's certainly a couple of untouchables, Porte...

Blue Jackets trying hard to trade Voronkov

Amid a slow start, Dmitri Voronkov's days in Columbus appear numbered. He was a healthy scratch twice over the weekend, and reports indicate that the Blue Jackets are continuing to actively listen to trade offers for the 26-year-old Russian. He's a pending unrestricted free agent, in the final year of a two-year contract. The Fourth Period reports that GM Don Waddell is looking to use the former 23-goal scorer as trade bait, and is having conversations with a number of clubs.   It i...

This is a make-or-break week for Connor Hellebuyck. The holdout Winnipeg Jets goaltender has been on suspension since the beginning of the season for not reporting to training camp after his trade request went unfulfilled all summer. But his suspension is coming to an end on Friday, per CBA rules , and his paychecks will start up again.

Maple Leafs Not Looking For 'Band-Aid Solution' To Defensive Woes

The somewhat promising start to the season for the Toronto Maple Leafs has been handed a big blow over the last week. Three straight losses and they once again find themselves in last place in the cut-throat Atlantic Division.  The trade rumors are flying once again, as the team has made it clear, from all accounts, that they are looking to bolster the blueline. But the latest report from Elliotte Friedman is that we should not expect a "band-aid solution", or the trade of a top asset wit...

Report: Penguins Ready To Trade Veteran Forward

The Pittsburgh Penguins may finally be ready to move on from one or more of their much-sought-after veterans, after a couple of seasons of rumors.  According to insider Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Night Hockey, the Pens are ready to scale up their youth movement.  Pittsburgh has made it clear they would move a veteran forward for draft picks or prospects to give their younger players more opportunity, as they continue to transition to a younger roster. The "veteran forward" he's re...

Gavin McKenna Opens Up About Chat With Jim Hiller Over Benching

The Gavin McKenna benching for half a game has been all the rage around Leafs Nation the past couple of days. Media and fans alike have come out to question head coach Jim Hiller for why the heck the No. 1 overall pick, who was on a four-game point streak, was nailed to the bench for almost two periods to finish the game on Thursday night.  But the two have apparently talked and hammered it out, with McKenna saying he was told it wasn't because of his play, and that he learned a lot from ...

NY Rangers Eyeing Nearby Rival For Goalie Fix

With Igor Shesterkin out for the season, the New York Rangers are trying to address their goaltending situation by doing their due diligence, scouring the league for who might be available.  Insider Elliotte Friedman has reported that they're likely going to try to find someone with only a bit of term left on their deal, as Shesterkin will be back next year will still have six years left on his contract.  He also reported on NHL Network that they've got their eye now on a nearby New ...

The Detroit Red Wings take on the San Jose Sharks tonight, and before action starts, they have made a roster move. The team placed depth defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker on waivers .  Bernard-Docker has been a depth option for the Red Wings and has played 63 games for a team that has struggled to find itself in postseason action, even with the rebuild taking shape.  The Red Wings signed the blueliner to a two-year, $1.6 million contract , which expires at the conclusion of the 2027-28...

Report: Flyers In Tough Spot To Trade Travis Konecny

The 2026-27 Philadelphia Flyers have been historically bad under head coach Rick Tocchet. With a 0-6-3 start to the year, they look bad.  Tocchet's inability to start the year with a winning record hasn't helped him this week, as he's had multiple gaffes and has arguably mistreated future NHL superstar Matvei Michkov. In addition to his slow start, needless to say, fans are unhappy, and the team has scheduled time with Tocchet and the fans to smooth over the angst that has been apparent.&...

NHLTR Mock Trade: Red Wings' Dylan Larkin to The Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens are experiencing a window of contention, and general manager Kent Hughes is motivated to keep that open as long as possible.  It could be a sign of desperation to trade younger talent for a "win-now" piece like Dylan Larkin, but it could be construed as Hughes having his thumb on the pulse of the fandom that chanted "We Want Larkin" at a recent Habs game.  What stands between a trade between the Canadiens and Red Wings is Larkin's trade list, which hasn't expan...

Based on conversations with team sources, the sense is that forward P...

Latest On Canadiens' Pending UFA Josh Anderson & Extension Talks

Pending UFA Josh Anderson is off to a red-hot start to the season, and has cemented himself as a key veteran leader on the up-and-coming Montreal Canadiens.  Now in the final season of his seven-year deal with a $5.5 million AAV, Anderson is primed for an extension.

Red Wings' GM Sets Asking Price For Dylan Larkin Trade

Detroit Red Wings interim general manager Shawn Horcoff has the tall task of trying to trade Dylan Larkin, and according to TSN's Darren Dreger, it sounds like Horcoff has set his asking price.

Dreger feels Horcoff will be looking for three or four pieces for his skilled center. Darren Dreger: Re Dylan Larkin trade request/Red Wings: Three or four pie...

Maple Leafs head coach in hot water after benching Gavin McKenna

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Jim Hiller benched Gavin McKenna for the second half of the Leafs matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night, and frankly, many people across Leafs Nation are wondering what the hell happened.
