Edmonton Journal columnist David Staples floated the idea of the Oilers pursuing winger Alex Formenton, arguing his market value has cratered enough to make him a bargain option for a cap-strapped team.

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 buzz has been on and off ever since.

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.

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. ...

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...

Quinn Hughes to the New Jersey Devils is the hottest rumor in hockey at the moment, and funny enough, it's nothing new.
