Wild Rumors: Top Center Trade Target Revealed

The Minnesota Wild have chosen to go for it for at least the next couple of years and are in the most competitive division (playoff teams) in the league. They are third in the NHL, but are also third in their own division behind the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars . The Wild signed Kirill Kaprizov to a massive deal in the offseason and acquired Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks not too long ago. With a strong defensive group and two very good goalies, they are set to compete, but cou...

Maple Leafs Still Looking to Add While Trading 2 Forwards

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a good place right now, and if things don't start to change for the better, there will be more changes, probably starting with the head coach and not just assistant coach Marc Savard. Toronto is one game over .500, sit second last in the Eastern Conference in a tight race where every team is at least .500, and are five points back of a playoff spot after their latest win. But the Maple Leafs have lost five of their past seven games and have been inconsistent ...

Report: Edmonton Oilers trying to sign Marc-Andre Fleury

The Edmonton Oilers have already made one goalie trade this season, and from the sounds of it, they're not done adding in their crease. Multiple reports have surfaced stating the Oilers have contacted Marc-Andre Fleury about coming out of retirement. Surprisingly, Fleury is open to joining a contender, this coming after he signed a one-week contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and retired as a Penguins during the preseason. The Oilers see Fleury as the perfect addition to Tristan Jarry, as t...

Canucks & Bruins Discussing Pre-Deadline Deal

The Vancouver Canucks are going to trade pending unrestricted free-agent forward Kiefer Sherwood before the deadline this season, and according to multiple reports, keep an eye on the Boston Bruins as the landing spot. Sherwood has Bruins written all over him considering his style of play, and the two teams have actually been discussing this move dating back to last summer. Sherwood's been on a tear this season, scoring 16 goals and 20 points in 36 games. He's averaging 17:29 of ice-time per g...

3 Surprising Names Expected To Be Snubbed From Team USA Olympic Roster

Team USA roster season is basically here, and the early buzz is already getting uncomfortable for some fans.  Michael Russo of The Athletic is expecting three names, having excellent seasons, to be on the outside looking in for the 2026 Olympics, with Cole Caufield, Jason Robertson, and John Carlson all trending toward a surprise snub. Why Cole Caufield and Jason Robertson might miss out The wild part with Caufield is it’s not about talent (obviously), it’s about the team's fit and th...

Islanders & Predators Emerging as Trade Partners

The Nashville Predators are headed for a fire sale this season and GM Barry Trotz is going to have to approach veteran Steven Stamkos on where he'd like his next chapter of his hockey career to be. The Preds are slowly creeping down the standings in the Western Conference, and Trotz is going to have no choice but to make a few moves. Stamkos started slow this year but has turned it on of late. He enters the Christmas break with 15 goals and 22 points in 36 games this season, and is playing 17:...

NHL Trade Rumors: Flames & Golden Knights Linked to Blockbuster

The NHL's trade market is frozen at the moment, but once the holidays are over, look for a slew of moves to come before the Olympic break. January's going to be a busy month of transactions, and one player you can expect to see traded is Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson. Andersson recently admitted the Flames haven't approached him about a contract extension, cemented the writing on the wall that a deal is coming. He's a pending UFA, having a monster season for the Flames, and is lik...

Insider Pitches Auston Matthews Trade To Western Conference Team

Auston Matthews trade talk is not a thing Toronto Maple Leafs fans ever wanted to take seriously, but the spiral has pushed it from internet noise into actual radio conversation.  On Sportsnet 590, Nick Kypreos flat out said it could be discussed as soon as this summer, and he tied it to one reality Toronto cannot ignore, the only way to truly change this era might involve touching the top of the roster. Auston Matthews trade talk is a summer conversation Kypreos made it clear he does...

Canucks Executing A 'Hybrid Retool'; Don't Expect These 12 Players To Be Traded

Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin made an appearance on Amazon Prime's intermission panel this week, and told the crew that his team is undergoing what he calls a 'hybrid retool.' What that really means is, from all accounts, don't expect a mass sell-off. In particular, 12 players are likely going nowhere.  Allvin said the Quinn Hughes trade with Minnesota brought them young players who are pieces for the future, but, essentially, ready to contribute now. Canucks GM Patrik Allvin jo...

‘Zero Doubt’ The Rangers Will Trade Artemi Panarin—Under Specific Circumstances

Despite a five-goal outbreak against the Philadelphia Flyers on the weekend, the New York Rangers have been struggling to score. They have four games of zero or one goal in their last seven, and currently sit dead last in the Eastern Conference with just 97 goals scored this season, in 38 games, going into Tuesday's action.  But their leading scorer, Artemi Panarin, might not be long for the Big Apple. A pending unrestricted free agent, he has had no extension talks since turning down a d...

Rasmus Andersson Has Specific Type of Teams In Mind For Next Destination

While pending unrestricted free agent Rasmus Andersson's future remains up in the air in Calgary, he is still one of the top trade candidates in the NHL. And while certain teams have been mentioned as likely landing spots, we're getting a little more clarity on where he'd be willing to sign an extension.  And while the d-man only has a six-team no-trade list, giving him limited say in the matter, where he does have a say, is where he'd be open to extending. Insider Frank Seravalli explain...

Toronto Maple Leafs won't be firing Craig Berube

The Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled this season and with the league's worst power play, decided to fire assistant coach Marc Savard. General manager Brad Treliving spoke to the media on Tuesday ahead of their afternoon affair with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and opened up about what could be coming next.  From the sounds of it, head coach Craig Berube's job is very safe, and regardless of the outcome this season, there won't be a coaching change in Toronto. Berube was apparently pissed of...

Oilers Rumored To Still Acquire Another Big Piece

The Edmonton Oilers have flipped a switch on their season and have stormed to two points back of the division lead. Late November and into early December is generally where the Oilers start to play well and climb the standings, but this season, they have already made a couple of trades prior to doing so. The Oilers acquired Tristan Jarry and he is undefeated, but injured, and also brought in Spencer Stastney, who looks great on defense. David Pagnotta said, "(Jarry) is signed next season. This...

Report: Multiple teams reached out with contract offer to Marc-Andre Fleury

The NHL's goalie market is so razor thin, teams are still reaching out to non-active goaltenders trying to convince them to come back. There's been multiple reports that Marc-Andre Fleury has heard from a number of teams about the potential of an NHL comeback. Probably not surprising but hearing that some teams have checked in on Marc-Andre Fleury to see if there’s any chance at all he would consider playing again. Again not surprised teams with goalie needs would want to check on it. — Pierre...

NHL Rumors: Trade Chatter To Pick Up Around Morgan Rielly

The Toronto Maple Leafs keep trying to steady the ship, but the spiral is continuing it's downtrend.  After a brief stretch of points in early December, they slid again, and the noise around real change is back to full volume. Insider David Pagnotta thinks that is when Morgan Rielly’s name starts circulating more often, because a move of that size is one of the few ways Toronto can actually change the feel of this team. Morgan Rielly trade talk could pick up fast Blaming the coaching ...

Stunning Number Of Teams Have Reached Out To Flames About Blake Coleman

The Calgary Flames are not rushing anything with Blake Coleman, but the phone has not stopped ringing.  Insider Frank Seravalli says 20 teams have already checked in on the veteran winger. If Calgary decides to move him, the market is going to be loud. Blake Coleman trade buzz is bigger than expected Seravalli’s note is especially interesting because Coleman has drawn more early interest than Nazem Kadri, even with Kadri being the bigger name. The simple reality is that Coleman is eas...

NHL Rumors: Analyst Guarantees Avalanche Trade To Bolster Specific Area

Colorado’s sitting first overall and playing like a team that knows exactly who it is.  That said, the chatter around the league is pretty clear. The Colorado Avalanche are still expected to go get another defenseman before the March 6 trade deadline. The Denver Post's Corey Masisak’s reporting basically frames it as a near lock. Colorado’s been dominant, but the playoffs always find the weak link, and the Avalanche don’t want to be the team scrambling after an injury in late February.&...

4 Players Linked To Islanders Amidst Surprising Season

Not many thought that the New York Islanders , the season after trading their number one defenseman, would be in a playoff spot at Christmas and six games above .500 almost halfway through the season. But here we are with a new young phenom in Matthew Schaefer, some skilled players stepping up, and a solid supporting cast. If the Islanders stay in this position in a tight Eastern Conference race, they will be looking for upgrades. The New York Post already connected four names to them, saying,...

3 Center Trade Targets Revealed For Avalanche

The Colorado Avalanche are a dominant force in the NHL this season with a record of 26-2-7. Regardless of how good they are, upgrades make sense as other teams in contention for the Stanley Cup are going to be bringing in players and getting better and this isn't a season that can go to waste. The Avalanche have the strongest top of the division in the NHL with the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild also clear Stanley Cup contenders this season. So the spot in their lineup that looks like the mos...

LA Kings Turned Down Offer Of Established Secondary Scoring Center for Danault

 The Los Angeles Kings were hoping to make a real 'hockey trade' for disgruntled veteran center Phillip Danault. They wanted, preferably, another center back in the deal. In the end, they sent Danault to the Montreal Canadiens for a second-round draft pick.  But there was an offer on the table from another team of an established young center who's been a viable secondary scorer on multiple occasions. The Kings turned it down.  David Pagnotta explained on Daily Faceoff's DFO Rund...

Minnesota Wild & Philadelphia Flyers Linked to Pre-Deadline Trade

The NHL's trade market is currently on a holiday roster freeze, but once the Christmas break is over, keep an eye on the Minnesota Wild and Philadelphia Flyers. The two teams have been linked multiple times to a trade together this season, and most recently from Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff .  Di Marco sees the Wild having interest in Flyers injured forward Tyson Foerster, who is currently recovering from surgery and is expected to be out for the rest of the season. Foerster is young...

Nashville Predators GM Rejecting Trade Offers

The Nashville Predators are avoiding sell mode as long as possible this season. Don't expect to see general manager Barry Trotz pulling the trigger on any big trades. The Predators enter the Christmas week with a 15-16-4 record, and are five points out of a wild-card position. While there's been tons of talks around the futures of Steven Stamkos, Michael Bunting, and Jonathan Marchessault, Trotz spoke with The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun and put some water on the burning hot trade rumors. Ryan O'...

NHL Trade Rumors: LA Kings making trade offers for top-six winger

The Los Angeles Kings found Phillip Danault a new home, and word is, general manager Ken Holland is far from finished. Rumor has the Kings have been calling teams to see which of their top-six forwards are available, and at what price. The Kings want to add an impact forward, and with Anze Kopitar retiring, know they can handle a big contract with term longer than this season. Kopitar is owed $7 million AAV this season. The Kings received a second-round pick in 2026 for Danault, originally the...
