Report Offers Major Updates On Zegras, Drysdale RFA Talks
With the Anaheim Ducks deciding to match their offer sheet for Leo Carlsson, the Philadelphia Flyers still have $29 million in salary cap space burning a hole in their pocket. They will be handing a chunk of that money to their two big remaining restricted free agents, Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale. But with both players having arbitration hearings set for the second half of this month, will they come to agreements before that or will they be letting a third-party decide? With more fi...

Former Sabres GM Kevyn Adams Back In NHL Team Front Office
Kevyn Adams' tenure as the Buffalo Sabres general manager ended in December after five years on the job and zero playoff appearances. But the team that he had assembled went on, immediately after he was fired, to a 36-9-5 record the rest of the season, winning the Atlantic Division and ultimately ending their 14-year playoff drought. Now, six months after getting his pink slip in Buffalo, Adams is back in an NHL front office, hired by the Sabres' division rival, Boston Bruins, as&n...

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson cashed in a lottery ticket from the Philadelphia Flyers that paid him an average annual value of $18 million. Signing the offer sheet set off alarms in Anaheim, as they had seven days to match the sheet and keep Carlsson in the Ducks colors.

Now, there are reports that Gauthi...
Former Maple Leafs RFA Nick Robertson Signs New Deal
Nick Robertson never got a real shot with the Toronto Maple Leafs. At least, that was his belief, leading him to ask out last year. That request finally came to fruition on July 1, when the new Leafs regime traded the restricted free agent to his former general manager, Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins. He had filed for arbitration, but the Pens & Robertson will avoid that by coming to an agreement today on a two-year deal. Nick Robertson and Pittsburgh have a settlement 2 x $3.25M...

Shane Wright's Preferred Destination Revealed
The Seattle Kraken continue to work with Shane Wright's representatives to get the beleaguered young center to a new destination. He's been on the trade block since before the deadline in March. To be clear, Wright does not have any trade protection, so he really has no say in where he goes next. However, we're learning that Wright himself appears to have a preferred destination. Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province tells us that the player wants to be dealt to the Vancouver Canucks...

UFA Patrik Laine A Solution To The Chicago Blackhawks Injury Woes?
The Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard will be out for the next four months, as he recovers from surgery on his left shoulder. This doesn't bode well for the team, which has been a bottom-dwelling organization before his arrival in 2024. Last season, the organization finished 31st in the league ( 29-34-14 ) and 8th in the Central Division; with no improvement in sight, they'll need help in the top six. One option available for the Blackhawks would be to augment the forward cor...

It was painful watching him try to answer a reporter's question about if he was considering his future with the team . Talk...
