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. ...

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 .

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’

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.

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...
Former NHL Goalie Suggests Hellebuyck Could Sit Out The Season
The Connor Hellebuyck situation drags on, after he made his trade request public this past week. The Winnipeg Jets were notified months ago, but nothing has transpired as of yet. Former NHL netminder Martin Biron, now an analyst on TSN, says he wouldn't be surprised if the three-time Vezina Trophy winner sat out the whole season if the Jets don't grant him his trade wish. Martin Biron suggests that G Connor Hellebuyck would be willing to sit out the entire 2026-27 season if h...
Free Agent Calle Jarnkrok Signs Deal For Upcoming Season
Calle Jarnkrok's return to Sweden is finally happening, after two separate rounds of denials over the past year. Per Swedish outlet Expressen , the deal with Brynas IF of the SHL is now confirmed. The 34-year-old spent parts of four seasons with Brynas earlier in his career before crossing to North America in 2013. Rumor That Refused To Die This has been a long time coming, even if it kept getting shot down along the way. Swedish outlets first reported back in December that Jarnkrok ...
Oilers' Goaltending Plan In Jeopardy, Reopening Old Trade Target
The Edmonton Oilers thought they'd fixed their goaltending problem when they signed Frederik Andersen in free agency. An offseason training injury just reopened the entire situation, and Montreal Canadiens goalie Samuel Montembeault is right back on Edmonton's radar. Per The Hockey News' Karine Hains , the Oilers have been linked to Montembeault again after confirming Andersen will miss training camp with an injury suffered during offseason training. Edmonton entered the summer wit...

Adam Fantilli remains without a contract for 2026-27, but Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell isn't sweating the calendar. Training camp opens September 16, giving Waddell just over two weeks to finalize a new deal. Asked about the timeline, he sounded unbothered. "No, not at all," Waddell told Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch . "We're in communication. There's a little difference of opinion right now, which is normal, and I'm confident that we'll have him done before training camp...
Red Wings' Dylan Larkin Linked to Mammoth
Dylan Larkin still hasn't put the Utah Mammoth on his trade list. According to The Hockey News' Ryan O'Hara , that might not matter for much longer, because the argument for sending him there keeps getting stronger. O'Hara laid out the case this week, arguing a Larkin trade to Utah "may make more sense than ever" given how far the Mammoth have pushed to win now. Utah has spent the offseason loading up with veterans like Anders Lee and Vincent Trocheck, and Trocheck already shares h...
Blue Jackets GM Opens Up On Marchenko Trade Talk
The Kirill Marchenko trade rumors have been simmering all summer, after a report emerged at the draft that he wouldn't be extending his contract past the upcoming final year of his deal. Several teams popped up as potential suitors , but the Columbus Blue Jackets said they weren't rushing to trade him.
