'Nobody Believes' Canucks Got No Trade Offers for Teddy Blueger

What is up with the Curious Case of Teddy Blueger and the Vancouver Canucks ? GM Patrik Allvin said after the trade deadline that he got 'no offers' for the veteran shutdown defensive center. But there are some, like Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, who don't believe that for a second.  Blueger is a pending unrestricted free agent finishing up a very reasonable $1.8 million cap hit. He was expected to be one of the Vancouver sell-off pieces. But it didn't happen. Why? Could Teddy Blueger re...

NHL Trade Rumors: Philadelphia Flyers Making Offseason Goalie Trade

While the Philadelphia Flyers didn't make any significant changes ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, expect to see them much more active in the summer. There's been multiple reports the team almost moved defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen and was involved with several teams on advanced trade conversations, but unfortunately, weren't able to come to terms on a deal. That could certainly change this upcoming offseason. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , here was the details on Ristolainen...

Predators Turned Down 'Some Really Good Offers' for Steven Stamkos

The Nashville Predators had one of the more intriguing situations heading into the NHL trade deadline, with veteran stars like Steven Stamkos drawing serious interest from contenders.  Yet despite receiving plenty of inquiries, general manager Barry Trotz chose not to move the veteran sniper.  According to reporting from Kyle Morton of Daily Faceoff and comments Trotz gave to reporters after the deadline, the Predators turned down “some really good offers” for Stamkos while deciding ...

Sharks Don't Want to Give One Player a Long-Term Extension

The San Jose Sharks and Mario Ferraro are starting to look like a team and player heading toward a difficult decision.  Ferraro has made it clear he wants to remain in San Jose, and there is still mutual interest in continuing the relationship, but the bigger issue is the term.  The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta has said the Sharks are not interested in giving Ferraro the kind of long-term extension he is believed to be seeking. Sharks only want a short-term Mario Ferraro extensio...

Breaking: Radko Gudas Hit With 5th Career Suspension for Ugly Kneeing Incident on Auston Matthews

  Auston Matthews' agent calls it " laughable and preposterous". NHL Player Safety has suspended Radko Gudas for five games for his brutal, deliberate knee-on-knee hit that ended Matthews' season last night.

The #leafs just announced that Matthews is done for the season as a result of that hit. — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) March 14, 2026 Gudas was given a game misconduct and a five-minute majo...

Breaking: Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews to miss rest of season with MCL tear

The word has come down from the Toronto Maple Leafs following an MRI on Friday afternoon for captain Auston Matthews. He has a Grade 3 MCL tear plus a quad contusion and is done for the season.  Auston Matthews will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season with a grade 3 MCL tear and quad contusion. pic.twitter.com/FjZEvwPN31 — TheLeafsNation (@TLNdc) March 13, 2026 The injury was suffered Thursday night when Radko Gudas delivered a brutal high-speed knee-on-knee hit on Matthews.  Ac...

TRADE: Edmonton Oilers Pull Off Post-Deadline Trade With Vancouver Canucks

The NHL Trade Deadline passed a week ago, but teams were still able to make trades until today, though any players involved are not eligible to play for their new teams the rest of this season or playoffs. That means AHL players can still move. And the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks have pulled off a swap of forwards. 🚨 An AHL-level TRADE 🚨 To Vancouver: F Jayden Grubbe To Edmonton: F Josh Bloom Grubbe off to AHL-Abbotsford. Bloom to AHL-Bakersfield.  @InsideAHLHockey — Tony Androc...

John Carlson's Projected Extension Number With Ducks

It was a heartbreaking moment for John Carlson and the Washington Capitals — players and fans alike — when the 17-year Caps veteran was dealt at the trade deadline to the Anaheim Ducks.  "He was really crushed by being traded by the only team he's ever played for," said insider Pierre LeBrun on TSN Insider Trading . Many around town thought the franchise's all-time top defenseman should have received a better farewell than a middle-of-the-night voicemail to let him know he'd been traded. ...

NHL Trade Rumors: Flyers to Target Two Goalies in Trade Talk

The Philadelphia Flyers didn't make a move to upgrade their goaltending at the trade deadline. But that doesn't mean they won't be looking to do that this offseason.  Certainly, they're more than happy with the performance of Dan Vladar as the starter this season, but the continued shaky performance of the backups has led the team to consider how they'll move forward in the crease for next season.  Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , and  Kevin Kurz of The Athletic have both writ...

NHL Rumors: Panthers Working On Extensions for Two Players

The Florida Panthers did not make the splash many expected at the trade deadline entering the season. Instead of moving pending unrestricted free agents, Florida kept both Sergei Bobrovsky and A.J. Greer , with TSN's Pierre LeBrun indicating the club is now working on extensions for both players.  Panthers general manager Bill Zito made the team’s stance clear after the deadline, calling Bobrovsky “part of our franchise” and “part of our core,” while saying Florida wants to keep him. Se...

Maple Leafs Willing to Consider William Nylander Trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs may be approaching a crossroads that few expected just a year ago.  Amid a disastrous 2025–26 season and growing frustration inside the organization, reports suggest the team was at least willing to consider trade conversations involving William Nylander before the deadline.  The idea alone would have been unthinkable maybe even a year ago, but as losses pile up and the standings worsen, even Toronto’s core stars may no longer be viewed as untouchable. Willi...

Auston Matthews Injured, Gudas Ejected After Intentional Knee-on-Knee

  Auston Matthews was forced out of the Toronto Maple Leafs game against the Anaheim Ducks Thursday night after a brutal knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas.  Radko Gudas received a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for kneeing Auston Matthews.

NHL Trade: Red Wings & Lightning Swing 2-for-1 Trade (Yes, Really)

 Yes, we know the NHL trade deadline passed last Friday at 3:00pm Eastern. But trades can still be made with the restriction that p layers acquired after the deadline are  ineligible to play in any remaining regular-season games or the Stanley Cup Playoffs  for their new team. With that, the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning completed a trade of three AHL players. TRADE: #LGRW acquire F Michael Milne and F Wocjiech Stachowiak from #GoBolts for D Ian Mitchell — NHL News (...

Latest on Alex Tuch & Sabres Extension Talks Revealed

With each new pending UFA signing an extension, the smile grows larger for Alex Tuch of the Buffalo Sabres. With the extension signed by Nick Schmaltz with the Utah Mammoth this past week, Tuch is all alone as the top star forward available on the UFA market this summer. By a long shot. He can essentially write his own ticket.  But the Western New York-born Tuch, in his heart, wants to stay where he is, especially with the insane heater the Buffalo Sabres have been on for the last few mon...

Artemi Panarin's gut-wrenching announcement after trade to Los Angeles

  When forward Artemi Panarin signed in New York, he was one of the premier free agents in 2019. Leaving the Columbus Blue Jackets after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first-round, he was highly coveted, and he chose to seek greener pastures after all was said and done.  His friend Sergei Bobrovsky would exercise his rights to escape to Florida. The difference between the two is that Bobrovsky has two Stanley Cups to his name, while Panarin has nothing but disappointment to ...

Calgary Flames Sign Top College Free Agent

The Calgary Flames got themselves a nice addition to their pipeline on Thursday, signing top U.S. college free agent Tyson Gross—a hometown kid. The Calgary Flames have signed the most sought-after college free agent, Tyson Gross. The 23-year-old centre is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound Calgary native who was captain at St Cloud State. He sits top 20 in scoring in the nation and will make his NHL debut before season’s end. The… — Eric Francis (@EricFrancis) March 12, 2026 Gross, 23, is a 6'3" center wh...

Trade Deadline Aftermath: Corey Perry Did a 180 Last-Minute on Kings

We had heard in the days leading up to the trade deadline that pending unrestricted free agent Corey Perry wanted to stay in L.A. He did not want to be a trade deadline casualty and was willing and hoping to sign an extension for next season. The Kings seemed to be on board with that.  But then, seemingly out of the blue, Perry was traded at the 11th hour, just before the deadline hit last Friday, to the Tampa Bay Lightning .  So what happened?  According to insider David Pagnot...

Breaking News: NHL Reverses Forfeiture of Senators 1st-Round Pick for Dadonov Trade

The Ottawa Senators are breathing a big sigh of relief today, as the NHL has announced that the team will no longer lose their first-round pick in the 2026 Draft over the Evgenii Dadonov trade controversy of a few years back. Instead, the penalty has been revised so that the Sens will receive the 32nd and final pick of the first round and are not eligible for the Draft Lottery to change that position. They cannot trade that pick, and they will also pay a $1 million fine. #NHL announces that it...

Bruins Passed on Vincent Trocheck Trade Over Asking Price

Trade buzz tied Vincent Trocheck to the Boston Bruins leading up to the deadline, but the deal never got close to happening.  The reason has now become clear that the New York Rangers simply asked for far too much.  According to Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe , Rangers general manager Chris Drury placed a steep price on the veteran center, a cost that ultimately pushed Bruins GM Don Sweeney to walk away. Sullivan on how everything went down with Vincent Trocheck at the deadlin...

NHL Rumors: Surprising Development On Dougie Hamilton Trade Talks

For all the trade noise surrounding Dougie Hamilton before the deadline, the New Jersey Devils reportedly were not actually pushing him out the door.  That was the big takeaway from James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now after a chaotic few weeks of speculation, because despite Hamilton’s name showing up on trade boards and in league chatter, Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald said he did not have the veteran defenseman on the market at all.  Fitzgerald said teams called assuming ...

Blackhawks' Kevin Korchinski the next piece off the board?

  The Chicago Blackhawks weren't that active during the trade deadline. Instead of moving off key pieces, they traded veterans like Nick Foligno (to the Minnesota Wild), Jason Dickinson (to the Edmonton Oilers), plus two prospects: Aidan Thompson and Colton Dach.  However, when we turn to other players languishing in AHL Rockford, we notice that Kevin Korchinski is one prospect who had a cup of coffee in the NHL but hasn't been able to break through since.  Korchinski has played...

Nick Schmaltz Comes Off The Market With 'Mammoth' 8-Year Extension

Scratch yet another name off the list of notable unrestricted free agents this summer. The Utah Mammoth have signed top-line center Nick Schmaltz to an eight-year extension worth $64 million ($8M AAV).  STAYING IN UTAH 🦣 The Mammoth have signed Nick Schmaltz to an eight-year extension ✍️ pic.twitter.com/5m9ogxI2Ds — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) March 11, 2026 It seems like a bit of a team-friendly deal for a top-line center these days, especially taking into consideration that Schmaltz would ha...

NHL Rumors: Roman Josi Prepared to Ask Out Of Nashville

The Nashville Predators sold off a bunch of pieces ahead of the trade deadline last week, all of them pending unrestricted free agents. And while the really big names didn't go, they tried their darndest to deal off Jonathan Marchessault as well.  Meanwhile, the Preds are just one point back of a playoff spot, trailing the Seattle Kraken for the second Wild Card spot, while the LA Kings and San Jose Sharks are right there with them as well. It sounds like the sell-off while chasing a post...

Significant Development In Goal for Canadiens

It sounds like Sam Montembault's days as a Montreal Canadiens netminder are coming to an end. Youngster Jacob Fowler had a ten-game cameo earlier in the season, and he proved he belonged with a .902 save percentage and a 2.62 goals against average with one shutout. Now, the top Montreal Canadiens goaltending prospect has been called back up to the big club. And reports are that it's not just an 'emergency callup.' Les Canadiens ont rappelé le gardien Jacob Fowler du Rocket de Laval. The Canadi...

NHL Rumors: 3 Other Teams Were in on Bobby McMann

The trade deadline may be over, but new details continue to emerge about how wide the market was for Bobby McMann .  The former Toronto Maple Leafs winger ultimately landed with the Seattle Kraken , but according to The Fourth Period’s Dave Pagnotta , several other teams were aggressively trying to land the power forward before the deal was finalized. McMann became one of the most sought-after rental forwards on the market, but in the end, Seattle stepped up with the winning package, se...
