"My head's scratching, I can't believe they haven't got a deal done for him to stay in Florida at this point." That's what insider Kevin Weekes had to say about Panthers' icon Sergei Bobrovsky on TSN's Trade Centre Friday morning. The 37-year-old netminding legend has two Vezina Trophies and has backboned the Panthers' two Stanley Cup runs, but he's a pending unrestricted free agent, and there appears to be no deal on an extension in sight. That means a stunning trade could be coming tod...

Adam Fox simply said he’ll evaluate the Rangers’ future before committing to his own. That reasonable answer somehow ignited a full-blown panic across the fanbase. Maybe it’s time to take a breath.

As I write this, Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman has said the team is unlikely to make any more moves. But the team could still change by the time you read this. So chuck it out, take this with a grain of salt. As the Oilers have added Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson, and Colton…

With five straight 20-goal seasons, Utah Mammoth top line center Nick Schmaltz is expected to be one of the top available unrestricted free agents this summer—IF he makes it there. According to insider Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet , not only do the Mammoth not intend to trade their star pivot today, it doesn't sound like he'll make it to July 1 either: I am not expecting the Mammoth to trade Nick Schmaltz . I’ve heard there’s been positive movement in contract negotiations, and c...

Looks like we (almost) made it ♪ It’s Friday, March 6, and the NHL’s trade deadline is upon us. After 3:00 p.m. ET today, no more deals can be made.
Yesterday, the Florida Panthers traded veteran defenseman Jeff Petry to the Minnesota Wild for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. The pick becomes a fifth-round selection if Minnesota wins two playoff rounds and Petry plays in 50% or more of the Wild’s postseason games during those first two rounds.
The 38-year-old P...

The Carolina Hurricanes have been very active in trade discussions this week, and while they've been tied to landing a couple of big fish, one on defence, and one up front, it turns out they've been making trade offers which include disgruntled forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Elliotte Friedman: Not a coincidence Jesperi Kotkaniemi was back in the Carolina lineup on Wednesday night, but not convinced the Canucks will do it. (This would not be a Pettersson deal.) - Sportsnet (3/5) Kotkaniemi, 25, is...

Well, the Tampa Bay Lightning made their first move of the trade deadline. They placed Curtis Douglas on waivers with the intent to assign him to the Syracuse Crunch. It’s a move that some have been expecting for quite awhile, and perhaps the team felt that, with as many transactions flying around, it’s as good as time as any to try and slip the big man through. The move also opens up a roster spot and allows Douglas to participate in the AHL playoffs should he clear today at 2:00 PM.

You know you're a respected hockey player, when you don't even have formal no-trade protection on your contract, and are able to nix trades just based on a handshake agreement. That's certainly been the case for Nashville Predators center Ryan O'Reilly, as teams continue to call the Predators management brass about the former Conn Smythe winner, and O'Reilly continues to stand his ground and ask to stick around Nashville.

The Florida Panthers ugly losing streak reached four as a late comeback bid stalled in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
First Star Ivan Provorov opened the scoring with a power-play marker 5:08 into the action and then drew the secondary assist on Mathieu Olivier’s deflection goal midway through the second.
After Boone Jenner put the Blue Jackets comfortably ahead by three 1:41 into the third, the Panthers would put a scare into the home team before ultima...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are trying to make a huge splash ahead of Friday afternoon's trade deadline, but Kyle Dubas won't be selling the farm to make it happen. Rumor has the Penguins and St. Louis Blues are in trade talks involving Robert Thomas heading to the Pens. Dubas has stated he'd prefer to shift his core younger this season and next, and Thomas fits the bill as a 26-year-old in his prime, who is under contract through the 2031 season. Apparently the Blues wanted the trade package to s...
