Report: Maple Leafs Open To Trade Offers On Everyone Except Auston Matthews
According to TSN's Chris Johnston , the Toronto Maple Leafs roster could look very different next season. Johnston reports that the Maple Leafs are talking to other teams regarding trades and have made it clear to opposing teams, they're open to just about anything, just don't ask about captain Auston Matthews. “One of the things I’ve been told by other teams with the Leafs, is that the message that’s come out from their front office is that they’re willing to discuss any players on thei...
One Big Hangup Looms For Canucks' Coaching Frontrunner Manny Malhotra
It's sounding more and more like the Vancouver Canucks are leaning towards in-house candidate Manny Malhotra to take over as their new head coach. But we're hearing that there could be one big hangup that looms over that potentiality. The Canucks decided to move on from former coach Adam Foote, firing him this week after they finished with the team's worst record of this century. The franchise was also disappointed on NHL Lottery Day, as they fell to the third pick in next month's draft....
A Proposed Sabres/Jets Blockbuster Trade for Connor Hellebuyck
The Buffalo Sabres had a great run this season. A first place finish in the Atlantic Division, their first time back in the playoffs in 15 years, and a run to Game 7 overtime of the second round. But one area that began to spring leaks as the postseason wore on was between the pipes. "Their two main guys had been leaky in the playoffs, and specifically, Ukko-Pekka Luukkanen," Jeff Marek said on Daily Faceoff Live. He then went on to propose swinging a bold blockbuster that could fix that...
Wild 'Badly' Want to Re-Sign Michael McCarron, But Pending UFA May Decline
Free agent centers don't exactly grow on trees in the NHL these days. Especially ones that are the size of trees. 6'6", 230-pound Michael McCarron is a pending UFA, and the Minnesota Wild "badly want to re-sign him." But they might not get the chance, says insider Michael Russo in The Athletic. While the Wild have cap space and badly want to re-sign him, McCarron almost certainly could make more on the open market since it just takes one team to throw a boatload of cash and term his way....
3 Edmonton Oilers Trade Targets This Summer, Inc. Jordan Kyrou
The Edmonton Oilers have a critical offseason, as they face, effectively, one more year to show Connor McDavid that they can put a Cup winner around him. Next summer, he'd be heading into his pending UFA year, and that could be the end of the line for him in Edmonton if they haven't made huge strides. To that end, insider Jeff Marek joined Daily Faceoff Live to discuss some of the moves that the Oilers should look to make this summer. And he says Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues shoul...
Are the Ducks' Primed To Move Former 30-goal Scorer Frank Vatrano?
The Anaheim Ducks Frank Vatrano made the best of his opportunity in Orange County to become an All-Star during the 2023-24 NHL season. He'd set himself apart from a team that was struggling in the beginning of its rebuild, scoring 37 goals and 60 points playing a full 82-game season. It wasn't long before the Ducks found themselves relying on his veteran presence in the lineup for secondary scoring as young talent poured into the lineup, including Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gau...
Landing Spots for Red Wings' Sebastian Cossa
The Detroit Red Wings fell short of the playoffs this season, and as a result, the Yzerplan is in question. As a team that started off hot at the beginning of the year, and ended the regular season 41-31-10, and 6th in the Atlantic Division. A fall from grace that earned backlash from the fans and disdain for general manager Steve Yzerman's "Yzerplan" , which fell apart at the seams. The team will need to sell in order to get more "win-now" pieces, and one player who could n...
Simon Nemec Trade Rumors Rule The Day For The Devils
Does he or doesn't he want out? The Simon Nemec trade buzz has picked up again big-time on Thursday, with two conflicting reports leaving New Jersey Devils fans confused. A report out of Nemec's home country of Slovakia indicated that the pending RFA defenseman wanted out of New Jersey. A trade for Šimon Nemec in the NHL is more real than ever, even considering that such speculation has been circulating around him for a long time. The translation of the article goes on to say...
Latest News Makes Scott Laughton's Return to Maple Leafs Unlikely
Scott Laughton was thrilled to be headed to his hometown team when the Toronto Maple Leafs dealt for him at the 2025 trade deadline. But after a full calendar year, he was sent to the Los Angeles Kings at this year's deadline, though with the thought that maybe he could return this summer as an unrestricted free agent. As it turned out, Laughton quite enjoyed his time in LA, as his ice time was boosted by two minutes a game with the Kings. Accordingly, his production went up, and he was ...
NHL Rumors: Favorite Emerging To Become Canucks Next Head Coach
The Vancouver Canucks fired head coach Adam Foote and his entire coaching staff Tuesday, ending a one-year tenure that produced the worst record in the NHL at 25-49-8 and a 58-point season that left the franchise searching for answers at every level. The organizational reset under new GM Ryan Johnson, with co-presidents Daniel and Henrik Sedin overseeing the larger picture, is now complete enough that a new coaching hire is the last major piece of the rebuild's foundation. And Johnson did ...
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs To Pursue Trades For Two Defensemen This Summer
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not done reshaping their roster after firing Craig Berube and naming John Chayka as GM. The blue line is next. David Pagnotta confirmed that Chayka is expected to pursue trade discussions involving both Morgan Rielly and Brandon Carlo this summer, with the defensive corps overhaul described as a top organizational priority. "Augmenting the blue line is a priority for Chayka, and he insinuated moves to the defensive corps are on the horizon," Pagnotta wrote. "W...
Maple Leafs Netminder Joseph Woll Linked To Philadelphia Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers are among the teams looking to upgrade their goaltending situation this summer. While career backup Dan Vladar provided more than they could have hoped for in a starting role this season, Samuel Ersson left plenty to be desired as his understudy. Philly is looking for a new tandem partner for Vladar. While the Flyers are open to locking up Vladar if the price is right (he has one year remaining on his deal and is eligible for an extension July 1), they are fully a...
3 Landing Spots Named for UFA Jacob Trouba
When the New York Rangers decided it was time to move on from their captain, Jacob Trouba, midway through the 2024-25 season, it was the Anaheim Ducks' gain. Adding a veteran leader with a punishing physical presence to their blueline turned out to be the next step in the team launching itself out of its rebuild and into serious playoff contention. But after a year and a half there, Trouba is now an unrestricted free agent. He's coming off an $8 million AAV over the past seven years, and...
Insiders Update Vegas' Plans With Bruce Cassidy
It's Bruce Cassidy's 61st birthday today. But he's no closer to being gifted a new job in the NHL. It was leaked last week that the Vegas Golden Knights denied the Edmonton Oilers permission to speak with their fired head coach (who is still under contract) for Edmonton's vacancy behind the bench. Now it's being confirmed by insider Andy Strickland on the Cam & Strick podcast that the Golden Knights also denied the Los Angeles Kings permission to talk to Cassidy. Is Vegas being pet...
Huge Update on Cale Makar Ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Final
The status of Colorado Avalanche superstar defenseman Cale Makar had everyone in Denver on edge for the past week, after his injury in the final game of their second-round series. Today, head coach Jared Bednar confirmed the news: Makar will NOT play in Game 1 Wednesday night. Makar will be out for Game 1 tonight against Vegas 👀 pic.twitter.com/ZPM5YJnrX9 — Spittin' Chiclets (@spittinchiclets) May 20, 2026 But the news is not all bad for Avalanche fans, as Bednar calls him day-to-day and says ...
4 Rival Teams Linked to Top Pending UFA Alex Tuch
Alex Tuch spoke to the media today at the Buffalo Sabres exit interviews following their crushing Game 7 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Tuch has become the focus of attention around Buffalo now, as he is potentially the top pending unrestricted free agent on the market, and his future is unclear. "Obviously, the next month or so, I have to make some decisions," Tuch told the media. He also said that extension talks were put on hold during the playoffs, but GM Jarmo Kekalainen has onc...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews Linked to 3 Teams
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka was flying down to Arizona to meet with captain Auston Matthews and if the two can't get on the same page on the team's direction this offseason, Matthews is expected to ask for a trade. The Leafs captain wasn't committal to anything during his end-of-season media availability, with his infamous quote stating 'I can't predict the future', even though he's under contract for two more seasons. It caught a lot of people off guard in Toronto, and now...
Report: Maple Leafs' Nick Robertson Requested a Trade
Nick Robertson made it very clear during his exit interview that it's time for his next NHL chapter. According to sources connected to the Maple Leafs, Robertson was very transparent during his exit interview, informing the folks he met with that he feels a change of scenery could be exactly what he needs at this point of his career, and he prefers to be traded at some point this offseason. This isn't the first time Robertson asked out, as former GM Brad Treliving tried to ship him to Columbus...
Report: Pending UFA Michael McCarron to the Vancouver Canucks
Michael McCarron is apparently heading to Western Canada once free agency opens. There's been multiple reports from several sources, including The Athletic stating the pending free-agent forward will be signing a multi-year deal with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1. The most recent linkage came from Thomas Drance, who had this to say about the connection: The rebuilding Canucks should use July 1 to break the wage scale for players. How do you catch up to 31 other NHL teams, and out-accumulate ...
NHL Free Agency: Mason Marchment to the Pittsburgh Penguins?
Get ready to see Kyle Dubas try to reunite with Mason Marchment. Dubas admits that over the course of his time in hockey, Marchment is the only player who got away from him, and now the Pittsburgh Penguins president has a chance to land Marchment in free agency. Expect to see the Penguins make a multi-year lucrative offer to the pending free-agent forward the first day they're able July 1. Dubas will likely replace Anthony Mantha with Marchment in the Penguins top six, even though Mantha had a...
3 Trade Destinations for Sabres' Devon Levi
Devon Levi was the prized piece the Buffalo Sabres received when they traded Sam Reinhart to Florida in 2021. He was the goaltending prospect who was supposed to anchor the franchise's future between the pipes for the next decade. That plan has changed. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported the Sabres are now shopping Levi, and Jeff Marek went further on Coming In Hot , stating that the relationship between the organization and their former top goalie prospect is effectively o...
NHL Rumors: Blackhawks Linked to Three Trade Targets This Offseason
The Chicago Blackhawks finished 29-39-14 for 72 points, dead last in the Central Division and 31st overall in the NHL standings. Connor Bedard has established himself as a franchise center, posting new career highs in goals, assists, and points despite playing on one of the league's worst rosters around him. The rebuild has produced draft capital, cap space, and a prospect pool that analysts consistently rank among the best in the sport. What it has not yet produced is the impact forward...
Winnipeg Jets Urged To Submit Offer Sheet To Top Restricted Free Agent
The Winnipeg Jets need to improve this offseason significantly, particularly if they're going to keep all-world goaltender Connor Hellebuyck happy. After the season, he called the team's performance this year "unacceptable" and he's now become a trade target for some hopeful teams this summer. One of the Jets' most urgent needs is a top-six scorer, and to that end, Murat Ates of The Athletic says that a controversial, yet legal, route might be their best option. We’ve s...
Wild GM Bill Guerin's Bold Statement "Nobody in this game is untouchable"
The Minnesota Wild , under head coach John Hynes, made it to the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. He dragged a team that general manager Bill Guerin constructed. Guerin traded for defenseman Quinn Hughes , but he wasn't the final puzzle piece to lead the Wild to a Stanley Cup. The Wild are a team built with plenty of skill and size, but their 3.27 goals for per 60 were unable to defeat a Colorado Avalanche team that's played consistent hockey with (3.63 gf/60) ...
Vancouver Canucks Make Head Coaching Decision on Adam Foote
Now that the Vancouver Canucks have a new general manager in place in Ryan Johnson, and new presidents of hockey operations in the Sedins, it was time to deal with the head coaching situation. And the front office trio has decided that Adam Foote is not the man to lead them forward. Insider Darren Dreger reports that Foote will not return. The Vancouver Canucks continue to make changes. Sources say Adam Foote has been let go as Head Coach. Other changes to the coaching staff also being m...
