Insider Predicts How Cutter Gauthier Stalemate Ends With Ducks
After a huge miscalculation over the past year left the Anaheim Ducks holding the $18 million bag with Leo Carlsson, their attempts to sign fellow top-liner and restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier have hit a huge bump in the road. With Carlsson now earning $18M on his new pact, Gauthier—he of the 41 goals this past season—is looking for his cut of the pie, too. And it will have to be a huge, tasty slice. It doesn't sound like he'll settle for anything less than $15M or more on any longish-te...
Report: ‘Good Chance’ Marchenko Still Lands With Canadiens
The Kirill Marchenko-to-Montreal rumors were hot earlier this summer, soon after word leaked about the Russian forward not being interested in sticking around Columbus after the final year of his contract this season. The buzz has been on and off ever since. Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell opened up on the whole affair this past week, and said he won't be pushed into any trade unless it's a trade that helps the Blue Jackets. But Tony Marinaro of The Sick Podcast has opened up the...
Brad Marchand Takes Shot at Tim Stutzle's Potential Captaincy
If the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers weren't considered rivals before this season, expect to see the heat turned up to 1000, as these two teams have no other option but to hate each other now. With Brady Tkachuk, the Senators former captain demanding a trade to his brother Matthew in Florida, it's left a vacant 'C' in Ottawa. Turns out, the Senators are working through the motions right now of naming a new captain, and one player who's in the conversation is Tim Stutzle. Yes, the very s...
Another Wild Story Surfaces About Evander Kane in San Jose
Evander Kane is still without a contract for next season, and frankly, of late, none of the attention has been on Kane's new deal, and has been solely focused on wild stories that continue to surface online. Former NHLer, and former San Jose Sharks teammate of Kane's, Kurtis Gabriel, continues to make his rounds with wild stories about what Kane was like to play with. However, this time around, nobody saw this one coming. Gabriel was sick of Kane trying to defend himself with his upcoming 'rec...
Breakout Free Agent Defenseman Remains Mysteriously Unsigned
Nick Blankenburg has spent the last two years proving he belongs in the NHL. So far this offseason, that hasn't translated into a contract. The 28-year-old right-shot defenseman remains unsigned less than a month before training camps open, despite coming off the strongest two-year stretch of his professional career. Entering free agency, AFP Analytics projected him for a two-year deal worth roughly $4 million annually. It's now clear he won't come close to that number, if he signs...
Blue Jackets Still Have No Broadcast Deal As Season Approaches
With training camp just weeks away, the Columbus Blue Jackets remain the only club in the NHL that can't tell fans how to actually watch their games this season. The team's own "How to Watch" page currently offers nothing beyond an email sign-up form. Team vice president Todd Sharrock said in late August an announcement was expected "hopefully by Labor Day," which falls on September 7, just over three weeks before Columbus opens its season October 1 against Buffalo. Collapse That's Been Buildi...
Flyers Have Surprising Plan For Jett Luchanko This Upcoming Season
The Philadelphia Flyers spent the entire offseason without solving their center depth, and their own top prospect at the position isn't even getting a shot to help fix it. Per The Athletic's Kevin Kurz , the plan right now is for Jett Luchanko to spend the full 2026-27 season with AHL Lehigh Valley rather than push for an extended look on Philadelphia's NHL roster. Trevor Zegras, who spent time at the position late last season, is the one being handed the job in training camp instead. ...

Anaheim Ducks to retire Ryan Getzlaf's No.15
Ryan Getzlaf will be remembered forever as an all-time great Anaheim Duck, and now his number will be draped from the rafters. The Ducks announced on Tuesday the team will be retiring Getzlaf's No.15 on January 30, 2027 at Honda Center ahead of Anaheim's matchup against the Nashville Predators. And it's been announced that just two nights earlier in Anaheim, the Ducks will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2007 Stanley Cup Championship team. Getzlaf is strongly considered the best Duck of...

Proposed Blockbuster Trade Would Send Hellebuyck To Carolina Hurricanes
Could the Stanley Cup champions land themselves the best goalie in hockey? A new proposed blockbuster deal would send Winnipeg Jets' disgruntled netminder Connor Hellebuyck to the Carolina Hurricanes . Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff has suggested that the Canes are one of the few top suitors for the three-time Vezina Trophy winner with a package of assets that could actually pull it off. His proposed trade would look like this: Carolina Hurricanes receive: Connor Hellebuyck Winnipeg J...
St. Louis Blues Prospect in Coma With ‘Zero Chance of Recovery’
A tragic story for the St. Louis Blues and 21-year-old prospect Matthew Mayich. The Arizona State University player is in a coma with "zero chance of recovery" after collapsing during what The Athletic called a "military-style" team workout. College Hockey News has spoken to Matthew Mayich's family's attorney, Rob Carey. He confirmed Mayich has "zero chance of recovery" and that Carey is conducting his own investigation to determine next steps. He criticized Arizona State's handlin...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Jake DeBrusk
Jake DeBrusk had a tough 2025-26 season. He went public late in the season and admitted that playing on a rebuilding team is not his idea of a good time. A trade has been in the offing ever since, though it's been relatively quiet on that front during the summer. But now that hockey season is fast approaching, a DeBrusk trade will be back on the menu for the Vancouver Canucks at some point. However, as noted by Thomas Drance of The Athletic this past week, his trade value is not at...
Calle Jarnkrok Says Maple Leafs Experience Drove Him To Head Overseas
' I thought, 'What the h*ll is happening now?' Those were the words of Calle Jarnkrok describing the turbulent nature of his final season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, as he struggled with the reality of being an afterthought in the team's lineup plans. Jarnkrok was interviewed in a Swedish publication and talked about how his experience in his final year in Toronto helped to drive the decision to head back home, overseas. 'Two years ago I couldn't play at all. But last year ...
Report: Buffalo Sabres Pushing Hard to Acquire Connor Hellebuyck
Connor Hellebuyck wants out of Winnipeg and from multiple sources close to the situation, there's starting to see some traction in trade talks, specifically between the Jets and the Buffalo Sabres. Yes, these two teams should have just got this deal done weeks ago at the NHL Draft back in June, but that wasn't the case at all, and now talks have been revisited. From one insider, it sounds like the Sabres are pushing hard to get a deal complete before training camps open. David Pagnotta: ...
3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Vladimir Tarasenko
The 2026-27 NHL season is just around the corner, as the calendar has flipped to September, and training camps are just days away. Veteran winger Vladimir Tarasenko is still sitting without a contract for next season, and don't expect that to last much longer. The 34-year-old winger will be inking a new deal and attending an NHL training camp, as he's one of the most talented forwards left on the open market. Tarasenko is coming off a 23-goal season, posting 47 points in 75 games for the Minne...
Devils Fans Getting Excited at Potential of Quinn Hughes Joining
Quinn Hughes to the New Jersey Devils is the hottest rumor in hockey at the moment, and funny enough, it's nothing new. When Hughes was with the Vancouver Canucks, president Jim Rutherford went public with Hughes' desire to join the New Jersey Devils eventually, to suit up with his brothers Jack, and Luke. Been writing and speaking about this very quote all summer. Jim Rutherford said the thing out loud that he wanted to play with his brothers. What is most important? Only Quinn Hughes knows. ...
Flyers GM Confirms No Extension Talks With Pending Free Agents
While several NHL teams are racing to lock up their own pending free agents before a key deadline, the Philadelphia Flyers aren't among them. Asked by RG's Andrew Knoll whether there'd been any progress on new deals for Matvei Michkov or Rasmus Ristolainen, GM Daniel Briere didn't leave much room for interpretation. "There's nothing going on at the moment," Briere said. "I'm sure along the way, at some point, there will be discussions, but not at the moment." Two Names On The Clock P...
Evander Kane Called Out By Ex-Teammate: 'Pure Narcissism'
Evander Kane doesn't have an NHL contract for next season, and a former teammate's comments this week aren't going to make finding one any easier. Kurtis Gabriel, who played alongside Kane in San Jose during the 2020-21 season, ripped into his former teammate on the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast with Sheng Peng . "It's disgusting to me that a player can be talented and do that routinely and still have a job," Gabriel said. "Someone like that kiboshes the whole mentality of the locker room....
Why An Elias Lindholm Trade For The Bruins Could Be Difficult
Elias Lindholm was sold to Boston Bruins fans as a " Patrice Bergeron " style center after being signed by general manager Don Sweeney in 2024. Despite that characterization, Lindholm has been a disappointing presence in Boston. Signed to a seven-year, $7.75 M average annual value deal, the Bruins counted on Lindholm to be the top-center in the organization. But after exiting the Calgary Flames organization, his star has waned. Year 3 The 2026-27 season will be Lindholm's thi...
Wild GM On Quinn Hughes Ongoing Contract Talks: 'Quinn Might Be After Different Things'
Minnesota Wild fans look away. Wild general manager Bill Guerin attended the Minnesota State Fair on Monday, and answered a few questions related to Quinn Hughes' contract extension, and how Cale Makar's recent extension with the Colorado Avalanche could impact Hughes' next deal. It was very obvious from Guerin's comments, things aren't going as planned with advancing towards an extension. The relationship is good between me and Quinn and his agent. There’s no tension. Communication has been g...
Potential Zachary Bolduc Extension Projected By Insider
The Montreal Canadiens appear to be closing in on a new contract with restricted free-agent forward Zachary Bolduc, with an extension expected to be finalized before the team reports for training-camp physicals on Sept. 16. According to Sportsnet’s Eric Engels , there is no indication that a deal is imminent today, the two sides seem pretty relaxed about the situation, and the holdup isn't causing any consternation on any fronts. The 22-year-old winger is coming off his entry-level deal ...
Connor Hellebuyck's Sole Focus: 'Winning A Stanley Cup'
The Winnipeg Jets have never been able to make some serious noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs since Connor Hellebuyck joined the team back in 2015-16, and now the Vezina and gold medal winning goaltender has asked out. Hellebuyck has one thing on his mind, and that's adding to his resume, winning a Stanley Cup, and he's made that clear for months. Hellebuyck was very candid during his exit interview at the end of last season, and even back then it was obvious that the writing was developing o...
Filip Hronek Speaks Out On His Canucks Future
The Vancouver Canucks are deep into a full tear-it-down-to-the-studs rebuild. But their No. 1 blueliner is still around, and Filip Hronek—with six years remaining on his eight-year deal—fully intends to keep it that way. An absolute bargain these days, at a $7.25 million cap hit, Hronek would be heavily in demand if the Canucks were ever to consider trading him. But that request won't be coming from him, as told to David Alter of The Hockey News . We like the city, and obviously the fans...
Report: Is Arber Xhekaj Himself Holding Up A Potential Extension With Canadiens?
Montreal Canadiens restricted free agent Arber Xhekaj is still unsigned, only a couple of weeks before training camp opens. But while most of us felt that it was the team that was for some reason holding back on a reasonable offer, Eric Engels of Sportsnet suggests that it could actually be the Habs' tough guy himself who is reluctant to sign. Engels explains : I believe fair-value contract options are on the table for Xhekaj, but I also think he’s concerned about locking hims...
