Another Surprising Predators Name Emerges As Trade Candidate
We've all heard Ryan O'Reilly's name frequently listed as a trade candidate from the Nasvhille Predators if they decide to make some more moves. Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, they, too, have had their names mentioned. But another notable player can be added to that list, according to insider David Pagnotta. Speaking on the DFO Insider, Pagnotta mentioned a certain top-four blueliner whose name has entered the fray. I've been told, a few teams have told me that Brady Skjei's name is...
Free-Agent Patrik Laine Heading West?
Patrik Laine is reportedly getting very close to signing a new contract, and he could be heading to sunny California in the process. According to multiple reports, the Los Angeles Kings have been in contact with Laine of late, and are considering offering him a contract. Pierre LeBrun on Early Trading about Laine: There are other smaller things that the Kings have batted around. I'm told they've talked about Patrick Laine, for example, who remains unsigned. Could he help their power play? I do...
Senators' Linus Ullmark leaves game injured against Panthers
A terrible scene in Ottawa on Wednesday night, as goaltender Linus Ullmark left the Senators matchup against the Florida Panthers with an injury. The incident occurred in the third period, as Ullmark look to suffer a lower-body injury. Hopefully it's nothing serious, and not the same ol' story, as Ullmark has a long history of not being able to consistently be available. While all the attention was on Brady Tkachuk coming into the game, Ullmark's been the true story of the Sens this seas...
Islanders GM Says “No Truth” To Defenseman Trade Rumors
New York Islanders GM Mathieu Darche shut down speculation about defenseman Scott Mayfield’s future on Wednesday, saying, “Those rumors, I can tell you right now, there’s no truth to any of those rumors.” The comment came a day after The Fourth Period reported Mayfield’s tenure on Long Island “might soon come to an end” if his lack of playing time continues. What Was Being Said Mayfield can’t make his way into the lineup on a consistent basis, has been limited to two games this season, and was...

The Detroit Red Wings continue to have trade talks about Simon Edvinsson with up to 10 teams, including the San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins , according to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun , even though interim GM Shawn Horcoff still wants to sign him. “Horcoff still wants to sign him and is still holding out hope there, but he continues to have trade talks,” LeBrun said on Tuesday’s Insider Trading. “There are up to 10 teams that continue to be involved in these talks, and I’m told the San Jose Sharks an...
Report: Jets Have Only 1 Hellebuyck Trade Offer Worth Considering
The Winnipeg Jets are working hard trying to trade goaltender Connor Hellebuyck before his suspension is lifted on Friday, and some interesting reports have surfaced about the ongoing trade negotiations. From the sounds of it, Jets' GM Kevin Cheveldayoff only has one serious offer he's considering. Darren Dreger: Re Connor Hellebuyck: As of [Tuesday], the only offer that Winnipeg, I wouldn't even say is considered, but seems to be consistent, is likely coming out of Carolina - Morning Show/McK...
Report: 6 Teams Pursuing Alexander Nikishin Amid $63 Million Contract Demand
Six teams have inquired about Carolina Hurricanes restricted free agent defenseman Alexander Nikishin, according to David Pagnotta’s The Fourth Period , but Carolina hasn’t found a deal that works for it. The Fourth Period reports the St. Louis Blues, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Islanders, Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers, and Seattle Kraken are “some of the clubs that have inquired,” so the list may not be complete. Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky continues to have trade discussions, an...
Brady Tkachuk Opens Up On Trade Request As He Returns to Ottawa
It hit out of nowhere (sort of) early this summer: Brady Tkachuk had asked out of Ottawa, and the Senators immediately granted his wish, sending him to join his brother Matthew with the Florida Panthers. As he got set for an outpouring of boos in what will be a hostile environment from the Ottawa fans in Wednesday night's game at the Canadian Tire Centre, Tkachuk was asked about his trade request, and he pushed back on his family's influence in his decision. "It was 100% my decision. I'm a big...
Red Wings Senior VP Says Larkin & Team Have 'Kissed & Made Up'
An intriguing twist on the Dylan Larkin affair is coming to us today from Detroit Red Wings legendary executive Jim Devellano. No, he's not running the team anymore, but he is the Executive VP and Alternate Governor, and let's just say he's on the "inside" of what's happening in Hockey Town. Devellano appeared on the Ozzy & Keats podcast this week, and said that all sides in this situation have "kissed and made up." He’s the godfather of hockey in Detroit. Jim Devellano isn’t running the...
Numbers Are Revealed in Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov Extension
We first heard about the possibility on Tuesday. Now the details are in, per two new reports, on the new extension in Boston for young Bruins forward Marat Khusnutdinov. It'll be a three-year deal with a $3.95 million AAV, according to Emilly Kaplan. That sounds like a nice, team-friendly contract considering where salaries have been going of late, even for non-stars. Big scoop by Weeksey. Believe the Marat Khusnutdinov extension in Boston is for 3 years x $3.95 million AAV. — Emily Kapl...
Buffalo Sabres Make Significant About-Face On Jack Quinn
Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Quinn found his name on the rumor mill this past offseason. In fact, several reports suggest that he was offered up as part of a trade package to the Winnipeg Jets for goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, around the time of the Draft in late June. But times have changed in Buffalo. Not that they don't still figure into the mix on a potential Connor Hellebuyck trade. But the fact that GM Jarmo Kekalainen has come out and sung Quinn's praises indicate that he likely won't ...
Reports: Dylan Larkin Outcome To Have Massive Impact On Quinn Hughes
With the report that Dylan Larkin has expanded his trade list to 10 teams, we all wait for the hammer to drop, and the Detroit Red Wings to finally pull the trigger. We've all known for some time now that the Minnesota Wild are on Larkin's preferred list (they were one of the original three teams on it). But now we hear that the New Jersey Devils have been added as an approved destination. That should directly impact the Quinn Hughes contract hold-up in Minnesota, according to repo...
3 Pittsburgh Penguins Expected To Be Traded This Season
The Pittsburgh Penguins are a team to watch on the trade market this season, and the flurry of moves could be starting sooner, than later. President Kyle Dubas is open to moving out some of his veteran players, and recent reports from Elliotte Friedman have certainly turned up the heat on trade talks. The Penguins are off to a tough start to the season, and even though they've recently been linked to Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, it's very unlikely to see Dubas add Hellebuyck, wh...
Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe Injured Vs. Blue Jackets
The Toronto Maple Leafs are holding their breath, as defenceman Jake McCabe left Tuesday night's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after taking a high-stick under the visor. Blue Jackets forward Kent Johnson wasn't paying enough attention to his stick after dumping the puck in the Maple Leafs end, and cut McCabe wide open on the play. The incident occurred late in the first period, the Blue Jackets were assessed a four-minute double minor, but the Maple Leafs couldn't capitalize. J...

Larkin's original list was just three teams, including the Vegas Golden Knights, Minnesota Wild, and Florida Panthers...
Red Wings Hold Face-To-Face Meeting Amid Major Trade Standoff
Simon Edvinsson, his agent, and Detroit Red Wings interim GM Shawn Horcoff met face-to-face over the weekend, but according to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun , nothing was resolved. “I can confirm that Edvinsson and his agent, J.P. Barry, met face-to-face with Red Wings GM Shawn Horcoff over the weekend, sort of all laying their cards on the table,” LeBrun said Tuesday on TSN’s Early Trading. LeBrun said he doesn’t get the sense any resolution came out of the meeting, and that he would “stop short of say...
Sabres GM Addresses Blockbuster Goaltending Trade Rumors

Speaking on WGR 550 in Buffalo, Kekalainen said, “We believe in our goaltending. They had really good numbers last year. They were good for us, all three of them.” “Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is a really good goaltender and has a lot to give to the Buffalo Sabres and he’ll be a big part o...
Report: Flyers Forward Travis Konecny Linked To Mammoth
Under the Rick Tocchet regime, the Philadelphia Flyers are under scrutiny from fans for their poor performance and treatment of Matvei Michkov. The atmosphere surrounding the Flyers camp is one of precarity, as the team is 2-6-3 to start the regular season. In addition to the bad press thanks to Tocchet's coaching philosophy of giving fourth-line grinders like Noel Acciari top-line minutes compared to skilled forwards like Michkov, the team has explored trades with the Utah Mammoth...
Report: Flyers Eyeing Blockbuster Trade With Kraken
Winning two straight games has made the Philadelphia Flyers ’ roster math more complicated, and according to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco , a team source says something is eventually going to “have to give” with the crowd of wingers.

Di Marco wrote that there’s no indication at this time that K...
Report: Islanders Close to Trading RHD Scott Mayfield
The New York Islanders are expected to be making a trade in the coming days, and don't be shocked to see right-handed defenceman Scott Mayfield involved. According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta , it's starting to sound like the beginning of the end for Mayfield on Long Island: Scott Mayfield can’t make his way into the New York Islanders’ lineup on a consistent basis and it appears the veteran defender’s tenure on Long Island might soon come to an end. Mayfield, who turned 34 last wee...

Report: Devils' Brenden Dillon Invoked No-Trade Clause To Reject Trade
New Jersey Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon is on the outs at the moment, having been healthy-scratched for the past three games, with a fourth coming Tuesday night. Will the Devils look to trade him? Apparently, they tried that last season, but Dillon invoked his full no-trade clause. That has reverted to a 10-team no-trade list in the final year of his contract this season at a $4M cap hit. Elliotte Friedman reported on The Fan Hockey Show this week, “He has some protection and I...
