Oilers Lose Devon Levi To Injury, Oilers Fans Distraught
The Edmonton Oilers have won eight of the last nine games, and Connor McDavid is on an otherworldly, historic streak. But yet, not all is well in Oil Country. We learned on Friday that the season-long succession of injuries has expanded once again, this time with starting goalie Devon Levi going on the shelf. According to @EdmontonOilers Head Coach Mike Babcock… Tristan Jarry will start tomorrow. Says the Oilers will be calling up someone (I assume Matt Tomkins)… As Devon Levi missed pra...
Quinn Hughes, Dylan Larkin continue to be linked to New Jersey Devils
Are the New Jersey Devils trying to form a super team?

Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Nick Bjugstad, prospect Alex Command and two draft picks went to Winnipeg, and now everyone is wondering - what's next? Insert, Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings, and Minnesota Wild defenceman Quinn Hughes. Let's start wi...
Report: Red Wings Scouting Canadiens, Still A Chance Larkin 'Changes His Mind'
Now that the Connor Hellebuyck deal is done, Dylan Larkin once again takes center stage as the next NHL star on the trade block (at his request). And while we heard this week that his expanded 10-team trade list still doesn't include the Montreal Canadiens , insider Pierre LeBrun says we shouldn't close the door on that just yet. On TSN's Insider Trading, LeBrun said there's still a chance that the former Red Wings captain reconsiders his 'No Canadian Teams' stance, at least as far as Mo...
Jets GM Cheveldayoff Reveals How Hellebuyck Deal Finally Came Together

The New Jersey Devils were the surprise winners of the sweepstakes, coming on strong in the final hours. Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff met with the media to discuss the four-month process and how difficult it is to trade a starting goaltender. "Very comfortable with what we accomplished here. Certainly wish I could have done it four months ago." Kevin Cheveldayoff on the return the Jets got...

Stars Set Timeline For Jason Robertson's Contract Talks
Dallas Stars GM Jim Nill says he plans to start contract talks with Jason Robertson around December 1, and he wants the winger focused on the season until then. “I’m going to wait until probably around the first of December,” Nill told NHL.com’s Tracey Myers , adding, “I don’t want any distraction.” Robertson signed a one-year, $12 million contract on July 21 to avoid arbitration, and he can’t sign a long-term deal until January 1, 2027.

Bruins Trying To Move $9 Million Defenseman
Boston Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju declined to say whether he has requested a trade, according to the Boston Globe , a few weeks after Elliotte Friedman reported that Boston is trying to find him a new home. Asked by a Globe reporter last Thursday if he and fellow waived Bruin Mikey Eyssimont have asked for trades, Jokiharju said, “It’s just, you know, if you ask most people that question, they’ll go in one direction.” Eyssimont said, “I’m not focused on anything but my game and playin...
Flames' Asking Price For Maple Leafs Trade Target Emerges
The Calgary Flames could be looking for “an A-level prospect, a high draft pick, or some combination of the two” in return for defenseman Zach Whitecloud, according to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , who named the Toronto Maple Leafs as a possible suitor. Pagnotta spoke on The Leafs Morning Take, saying, “Maybe it’s a first-round pick and a lower prospect or whatever. But it’s not a low price for Zach Whitecloud because of his capabilities and also the cap hit factoring in.” Why The Pr...
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' Oilers Season Debut Starts 'Critical Experiment'
The Edmonton Oilers host the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday night in a heavyweight battle of two of the best teams in hockey this season. The game should be a great barometer for the Oilers on how real this start is for them. But it will also mark the beginning of a 'critical experiment' for the team, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will make his season debut in this one, having missed the first nine games of the 2026–27 season after suffering a lower-body injury during a practice o...
Penguins & Maple Leafs Linked To Interesting Trade
Keep an eye on the Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto Maple Leafs, as these two teams could be doing some business together on the trade market this season. Penguins president Kyle Dubas is open to trading just about everyone on his team outside Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang. Dubas is trying to make his roster younger, while still competitive, but he also has some pending free-agents, who are going to draw interest from contending teams. As of right now, the Penguins don't at all ...
Report: Canadiens' Top Prospect Michael Hage 'untouchable'
If the Montreal Canadiens are to make a trade happen in the future, the Atlantic Division team has decided it won't be parting with any of its futures. That includes their top prospect and 21st overall selection in 2024, Michael Hage. Hage is a current Michigan Wolverine, and would be one player teams in the NHL target if a big name like Dylan Larkin would come into purview. But according to Frank Seravalli, Hage is 'untouchable'. Frank Seravalli about the Habs: To be clea...
Red Wings Changing Focus On Trade Return for Larkin and/or Edvinsson
The Detroit Red Wings have said all along that if they're going to trade Dylan Larkin, they want comparable NHL assets in return. Now with Simon Edvinsson entering trade talks as well, the team has had to reconfigure what it's looking to do with its roster and its future. To that end, insider Elliotte Friedman said on 32 Thoughts the podcast on Thursday that the Wings are changing their focus on what sort of trade return they're looking for. The one thing I think they are doing, an...
Replacement Emerges as Canadiens Get Tough Suzuki Injury News
The Montreal Canadiens learned on Thursday that they'll be without their captain and top-line center Nick Suzuki for two to four weeks after an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game. He's the latest name to add to the growing Habs injury list. How will the Canadiens survive without their leading scorer and No. 1 center? For now, it appears that his job centering the first line will go to Oliver Kapanen. Oliver Kapanen replacing Nick Suzuki at centre on #Habs No. 1 line at practice this m...
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.

According to multiple reports, the Los Angeles Kings have been in contact with Laine of late, and are considering offering him a contract.

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.

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.

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...
