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...
NHL Rumors: Wild Could Revisit Blockbuster Trade in Offseason
The Minnesota Wild walked out of the trade deadline with more depth, more grit, and one very important piece still in the organization: Jesper Wallstedt. For weeks, Wallstedt’s name hovered over Minnesota’s search for a top-six center, with the club linked to bigger swings up front, but Bill Guerin ultimately chose not to cash in one of the organization’s biggest future assets for a deadline splash. Instead, the Wild added around the edges with players like Bobby Brink, Nick Folign...
Trade deadline aftermath: Canadien's Patrik Laine next steps
On the list of 2026 unrestricted free agents (UFA), we find Patrik Laine. Selected 2nd overall in 2016, he was lauded as one of the best prospects to land in the NHL and in Winnipeg. In 2021, Laine was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets with former teammate Jack Roslovic to get a fresh start after an unhappy tenure with the Winnipeg Jets. The Blue Jackets sent Pierre-Luc Dubois and a 2022 third-round pick to the Jets, retaining part of his salary. He'd find himself at anoth...
Robert Thomas 'Most Likely' Gets Moved This Summer, 6 Destinations Listed
Despite the multitude of rumors at the trade deadline, Robert Thomas wasn't moved. The player himself spoke out on Monday, telling Jeff Marek on The Sheet that he was never asked to waive his no-trade clause. However, that doesn't mean the St. Louis Blues won't try again after the season. In fact, according to insider Pierre LeBrun, in The Athletic , a trade is 'most likely' to come this summer. Alex Steen officially takes over for Doug Armstrong as GM of the Blues on July 1. Whether Rob...
Trade Deadline Aftermath: 2 Islanders Dangled in Deals, One Blocked Trade with NTC
The New York Islanders made a big addition at the trade deadline, landing veteran center Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues in an 11th-hour deal just before the 3pm ET buzzer. Schenn had to be convinced by GM Mathieu Darche & head coach Patrick Roy, however, to waive his no-trade clause before the deal was consummated. The Islanders, as it turns out, didn't have the same luck with their own player, forward Anthony Duclair. According to insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , h...
Significant Update For Aleksander Barkov & Panthers
For the first time in the 2025-26 season, Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov has taken the ice with his teammates for practice. In a non-contact jersey, yes, but this is a huge stepping stone for Barkov, who hopes to return before the end of the season. Looks like he's sticking around 👍 https://t.co/xb7g49Uzxp — Jameson Olive (@JamesonCoop) March 10, 2026 It's too little, too late for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, however, who currently sit in 14th place in the Ea...

Senators Jake Sanderson's Week-to-Week Injury Revealed
The Ottawa Senators have been hit with a brutal blow at the worst possible time, as top defenseman Jake Sanderson is now out week to week with what head coach Travis Green initially called an upper-body injury. Now, according to Jimmy Murphy of RG.org , he believes Sanderson is dealing with a separated shoulder after crashing hard into the boards on a hit from Brandon Montour in Saturday’s win over the Seattle Kraken . Hearing #GoSensGo defenseman Jake Sanderson’s injury is a separated s...
Insider Reveals Maple Leafs-Canadiens Blockbuster Almost Happened
Rumors of a rare rivalry blockbuster surfaced after the NHL trade deadline, and Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos says Matthew Knies may have been right in the middle of it. According to Kypreos, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens held serious discussions about a potential deal that would have sent shockwaves through the league.

Insider Reveals 'Realistic Time Frame' For Brady Tkachuk To Decide on His Senators Future
It's been a couple of years now that people around the sport have questioned how long Brady Tkachuk will remain in Ottawa with the Senators . Rumors hit a fever pitch again after the Olympics, when the Team USA Gold Medal winner returned to play games in Canada and was met with boos and negative reactions around the country north of the border. The Senators' captain vehemently denied any ill-feelings and professed his love for the team. But according to insider Pierre LeBrun in The Athle...
Breaking Interview: Robert Thomas Reveals Exactly How Far Things Got at Deadline
One of the most talked about players at the trade deadline was the St. Louis Blues' star first-line center Robert Thomas. The 26-year-old was notably one of the big-name players that GM Doug Armstrong was willing to trade in his attempted big sell-off. But Thomas has five years left on his eight-year deal, and owns a full no-trade clause. He appeared on Monday on The Sheet podcast with insiders Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski to tell us all just exactly how close he came to being dealt (hi...
Tristan Jarry Clashing With Oilers Teammates
It appears that Tristan Jarry has once again not been endearing himself to his Edmonton Oilers teammates. Elliotte Friedman noted on his 32 Thoughts podcast Monday morning that " There's a lot of talk out there about Jarry got into it in practice with some of his teammates ." Noted Oilers insider Bob Stauffer originally revealed that, on his Oilers Now podcast on Friday. “There’s some extraneous things that have me quite concerned with Tristan. I can read be...
Parayko Wasn’t the Only St. Louis Blue to Block A Trade
The St. Louis Blues were supposed to be the focus of the trade deadline. Big-name star players were going to be sold off to the highest bidder... Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, Colton Parayko, Jordan Binnington, Pavel Buchnevich, Justin Faulk, Brayden Schenn, and the list goes on. As we now know, only Faulk & Schenn got moved, and those just barely made it in under the wire, and at least one of them almost didn't happen. So why didn't more trades take place? Yes, GM Doug Armstrong was aski...
NHL Rumors: Sharks GM Shoots Down 1-for-1 Trade Rumor
The San Jose Sharks found themselves tied to one of the louder post-deadline rumors in the NHL, but general manager Mike Grier wasted little time shutting it down. Following the trade deadline, speculation swirled that the Sharks had offered William Eklund to the New Jersey Devils for defenseman Simon Nemec . Grier on how much the #SJSharks went after #NJDevils Nemec: “That wasn't really, I think that was more kind of, I don't know, Twitter stuff or whatever, whatever it is. It's somewhe...
Shocking Reason Why Canucks Didn't Trade Kane or Blueger
The Vancouver Canucks made a handful of moves at the NHL trade deadline, but two names many expected to be dealt never moved: Evander Kane and Teddy Blueger . While Vancouver traded players like David Kampf and Lukas Reichel for late-round picks, the veteran forwards surprisingly remained on the roster. The reason, according to general manager Patrik Allvin , was pretty simple and unexpected. According to The Athletic's Thomas Drance , the Canucks never received a single formal t...
NHL Rumors: Devils to Move Simon Nemec for Top-Six Scorer
The New Jersey Devils could be one of the most aggressive teams this offseason, and Simon Nemec may be the centerpiece of a blockbuster move. According to reports from Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic and James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now , the Devils are open to moving the former No. 2 overall pick if it helps significantly upgrade their top-six forward group. New Jersey explored that possibility before the trade deadline but ultimately held onto Nemec after their high asking ...
Report: Brayden Schenn Almost Vetoed Islanders Trade
No-trade clauses became the big topic of discussion around and after the trade deadline this year. And for good reason. It's become exceedingly apparent that there are a whole lot of them around these days. And teams want to see something done about it eventually. Additionally, there were also plenty of vetoed trades that seemed to stymie a lof of the action we normally see at the deadline. Colton Parayko said no to the Buffalo Sabres ; Tyler Myers vetoed a trade to the Detroit Red Wings...
