Sharks Were ‘Not Convinced’ On Will Smith Extension? — Insider
One young player who is noticeably absent from the list of pending RFAs who have cashed in with massive extensions this summer is San Jose Sharks 21-year-old top-liner Will Smith. The burgeoning star was the 4th overall selection in the famed 2023 NHL Draft. Somehow, while the three bigger-named players above him have all scored huge new contracts, Smith remains unsigned heading into the final year of his entry-level deal this season. According to insider Elliotte Friedman , on The...
LA Kings' Proposed Trade Package That Could Land Alexander Nikishin From Hurricanes
It appears that Alexander Nikishin's days as a Carolina Hurricane are numbered. As a restricted free agent, he's asked for a trade . But there are two major hurdles to overcome: Satisfying the Hurricanes' ask in a trade package, and making Nikishin happy with a new contract that will likely be in the $9 million AAV or greater range. We heard earlier this week from Elliotte Friedman that the Los Angeles Kings are suitors for the big Russian D-man , and that there is mutual interest ...
Maple Leafs' Bobrovsky Apologized To McKenna For Ruining 'Rookie Lap'
Sergei Bobrovsky admitted he didn't even realize Gavin McKenna was going for a rookie lap before Tuesday's season opener, and has since apologized to the former No.1 overall pick. Only in Toronto this would be blown out of proportion as several members of 'Leafs Nation' have been screaming from the rooftops at their new goaltender. “I pretended like it was my first game, too," stated Bobrovsky after Friday's practice. Sergei Bobrovsky was so dialed in he still stepped onto the ice first ...

Brutal news for Seamus Casey and the New Jersey Devils . The team has announced that the budding young defenseman has undergone knee surgery and will be out well into December. He'll miss eight to 10 weeks. #NEWS : Seamus Casey recently underwent knee surgery and is expected to miss 8-10 weeks. #NJDevils | @AskPeterDavis pic.twitter.com/y44n6no231 — New Jersey Devils (@NJDevils) October 2, 2026 It's another tough blow for the 22-year-old, who, for the second year in a row, suffered an injury d...
Red Wings' Dylan Larkin Linked to Florida Panthers
The Florida Panthers are going to be without captain Aleksander Barkov for the foreseeable future, and naturally, Detroit Red Wings former captain Dylan Larkin is being heavily linked a potential trade target. Larkin's asked out of Detroit, is currently nursing a lower-body injury, and a lack of motivation, watching from the press box to start the season. Larkin has the Panthers on his trade wish list, so it will be interesting to see if talks intensify with Barkov expected to miss time. Larki...
Report: Maple Leafs in advanced trade talks
The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't not done wheeling and dealing, as it's been reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman that Leafs' GM John Chayka has been trying to flip forward Miles Wood. Wood was acquired by the Leafs in a seven-piece blockbuster that also included Kirill Marchenko and Elvis Merzlikins heading to Toronto, and Matthew Knies, Emil Andrae, Steven Lorentz, and a 2027 second-round pick, originally held by the Seattle Kraken, to Columbus. I think they were trying to flip Miles Wood...
Panthers' Barkov leaves game with lower-body injury
The Florida Panthers are holding their collective breath, as captain Aleksander Barkov left Thursday's game vs. the San Jose Sharks with an apparent leg injury. This is not what the Panthers wanted to be dealing with just a week into their season. The injury occurred during a Panthers man advantage midway through the second frame, and it was what looked like a very normal battle of the puck in the corner. Next thing you know, Barkov is down, and visibly frustrated, and walked himself to the dr...
Report: Rangers Emerge As Surprise Quinn Hughes Destination
Every conversation about Quinn Hughes' future has landed in the same place for well over a year: New Jersey, alongside brothers Jack and Luke Hughes. David Pagnotta thinks there's another way to read it entirely. Speaking on the DFO Insider podcast , Pagnotta set up the idea. "We all assume playing with the brothers," he said. "What about playing near the brothers?" Jeff Marek jumped in with the obvious follow-up, asking whether he meant the Rangers. Pagnotta didn't dispute it. "What a...
Report: Predators Eyeing Three Canadiens Defensemen
The Montreal Canadiens ' crowded blue line has caught the attention of a team that, on paper, shouldn't need any more defensemen at all. Jeff Marek reported on the DFO Insider podcast that the Nashville Predators have shown interest in three Montreal defensemen: Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble, and Adam Engstrom. Nashville Is Looking Anyway The Predators currently have nine defensemen on their active roster, a number that would normally suggest a team with no real need. Marek's reporting su...
NHL Executives Flag Ryan O'Reilly As Trade Name To Watch
Ryan O'Reilly's situation in Nashville has been discussed before, but Elliotte Friedman's latest reporting won't make it go away anytime soon. In his September 29 edition of 32 Thoughts , Friedman revealed he'd asked two NHL executives separately which storyline around the league wasn't getting enough attention. Both independently pointed him toward O'Reilly. A Verbal Promise That's About To Be Tested O'Reilly, 35, is entering the final year of his contract at a $4.5 million cap hit, and he do...
Pending UFA Pavel Zacha & Bruins do not seem to be on same page
Trouble might be brewing in Boston over the future of pending unrestricted free agent Pavel Zacha. Insider Chris Johnston said on TSN's Insider Trading on Thursday that while the "anxiety" might not quite match what's going on in Minnesota with pending UFA Quinn Hughes, the Zacha situation is starting to get concerning, as it doesn't appear as if the two sides are on the same page as far as when and how to get an extension done. There is a similar situation playing out in Boston with cen...
With Korpisalo Injured Rangers Recall Goaltender Dylan Garand
It was thought that Rangers ' goaltender Dylan Garand wouldn't clear waivers, but he slipped through to the AHL's Hartford Wolfpack with no issue. But with the latest news surrounding the New York Rangers camp, the team recalled the goalie after placing backup netminder Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve today . He was diagnosed with a lower-body injury, and it wasn't announced because the source to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity. Korpisalo, who was signed as a free ...
'Jabs going back & forth' as Red Wings' Edvinsson leaves town amidst contract impasse
The situation surrounding unsigned RFA Simon Edvinsson is starting to deteriorate in the Motor City. According to insider David Pagnotta, things are getting a bit testy as the Detroit Red Wings & Edvinsson's camp continue to jostle over the terms for a new contract. We've learned that Edvinsson has left Detroit, and headed overseas. " Today we find out he's skating with Frolunda, his old club team in Sweden. Uh-oh. That's a bomb," Jeff Marek pointed out to Pagnotta on the DFO Insider. &n...
Sabres Extend Defenseman Louis Crevier With A Four-Year Deal
The Buffalo Sabres have signed a future piece in their defense today with blueliner Louis Crevier. Crevier was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. The trade helped shore up the Blackhawks blueline and bottom six, with Jordan Greenway and Bowen Byram, in return for Crevier and two draft picks (2026 4th and 45th overall) . The Quebec-born defenseman was originally selected 188th overall in the 7th round of the 2020 NHL Draft and has played a total of 134 NHL games, all of them...
Anaheim Ducks Hand Out History-Making Contract to Tristan Luneau
It seems that Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks have learned their lesson. They're geting way out ahead of the game now, making sure to lock up a young talent long before it becomes an offer sheet issue. And in doing so, they've made history. The Ducks have locked up 22-year-old defenseman Tristan Luneau to a $43.2 million extension—six years at a $7.2 million AAV. It's the largest contract in NHL history for a player with as little as 14 career games played. Anaheim is extending young ...
Report: Ducks Fended Off Huge Pavel Mintyukov Offer Sheet To Re-Sign Him
It appears that the Anaheim Ducks were an offer sheet target this offseason for not just Leo Carlsson. After that whole drama, GM Pat Verbeek and the Ducks had to deal with the possibility of a rival team trying to swoop in on Pavel Mintyukov, another of their coveted restricted free agents, on another huge offer. According to David Pagnotta , speaking on the DFO Insider, they had to move fast to lock in their young D-man, a recent top-10 overall pick. There was an offer that...
After falling short on Marchenko, Islanders to take another 'Big Swing'
The New York Islanders "tried very hard" in an attempt to land the big fish, Kirill Marchenko. They were beat to the punch by the Toronto Maple Leafs, who also, incidentally, beat them Wednesday night, 2-1, in the Isles' opening game of the season. But as Pierre LeBrun tells us in The Athletic , general manager Mathieu Darche is not done trying to improve his team. Not by a long shot. Darche is still trying to take another 'big swing.' Much has been made of the Montreal Canad...
Canucks' Brock Boeser Named Prime Trade Candidate
The Vancouver Canucks are in the midst of a rebuild, and veteran winger Brock Boeser continues to be a prime trade candidate to be shipped out. Boeser's no stranger to trade rumors, but this season feels much different in Vancouver. Nick Kypreos: Re Canucks: Brock Boeser may be in the most difficult predicament; He needs to find ways to get the puck in the back of the net, build his trade stock back up, and position himself to be a trade candidate between now and the deadline in March - Sports...
Top-3 Edmonton Oilers Trade Candidates Entering 2026-27
The Edmonton Oilers are going all-in this season, as it's Stanley Cup or bust. With Connor McDavid having just two years left on his current contract, and with Mike Babcock now behind the bench, the pressure is turned all the way up in Oil country. Oilers general manager Stan Bowman has some trade assets to work with this season, as it's expected the team will look to upgrade their top six, while also landing a top-four defenceman. In net, the Oilers have three goalies currently on their depth...
Report: Canadiens Still Hunting For Another Blockbuster
The Montreal Canadiens wanted Kirill Marchenko badly enough to make him their top priority all offseason. Missing out on that hasn't changed what they're looking for next. Pierre LeBrun spoke on how hard Montreal pushed during TSN's Insider Trading . "While the Leafs were on Marchenko the entire off-season in terms of trying to get him out of Columbus, I can assure you they were not the team that phoned Columbus the most often," LeBrun said. "That would be the Montreal Canadiens. From th...
Report: Flyers Keeping Tabs On Stanley Cup-Winning Defenseman
The Philadelphia Flyers have a new name on their radar after missing out on Kirill Marchenko. Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco reports Philadelphia is keeping an eye on Calgary Flames defenseman Zach Whitecloud as it continues looking for size on the back end. "A defenseman with a similar archetype of Zach Whitecloud of the Calgary Flames is something the Flyers would be looking for," Di Marco wrote, adding that the search for defensive depth isn't currently a top priority for the team. ...
Report: Wild's Jesper Wallstedt Could Become Historic Offer-Sheet Target
Jesper Wallstedt's path to restricted free agency next July has opened up a question that's never happened before. Daily Faceoff's Jeff Marek raised it on a recent episode of The Sheet, speaking on it as part of a conversation about whether goaltenders are about to get left behind in the NHL's salary explosion. "The threat of the offer sheet is always the big one," Marek said. "Jesper Wallstedt is a restricted free agent next July with arbitration rights. A goalie has never been offer sh...
Report: John Chayka & Maple Leafs 'Not Done Yet' Wheeling & Dealing
The blockbuster Kirill Marchenko/Matthew Knies deal on the night before the season opener certainly has the hockey world buzzing. But according to Darren Dreger on TSN Overdrive, "They may not be done yet." GM John Chayka and the Toronto Maple Leafs are still out there trying to make a significant deal.

Report: Nikishin turned down this 8-year lowball offer from Hurricanes
Alexander Nikishin remains on the sidelines. A restricted free agent without a contract. He wants a massive new deal after a strong rookie season. Reports over the course of the offseason initially had the Russian blueliner looking for a new contract with an AAV of at least $8 million. But after the Zeev Buium signing in Vancouver at a $9.38 million AAV, it's thought that Nikishin's price went up. The Carolina Hurricanes , however, are not on the same page with regard to the value of the...
