Ovechkin Opens Up on Retirement Talk
It's been hanging out there all season long—Will he or won't he? The thought of the legendary Alex Ovechkin hanging up the skates has been plaguing the Washington Capitals and hockey fans everywhere. He was asked about it again, point-blank, in an interview that airs today on the Capitals pre-game show. Alex Ovechkin sat down with John Walton to discuss his plans to take time after the season to reflect and consult with his family before determining his future this summer. Catch their fu...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Kraken's Jared McCann
After losing each of their last five games and nine out of their last 10 contests, the Seattle Kraken's playoff hopes are essentially crushed. With how poorly they are finishing off the season, it would not be surprising if they make multiple changes to their roster this offseason. One player on the Kraken who should be watched as a trade candidate is forward Jared McCann. The 29-year-old forward has been in the rumor mill before and will be entering the final year of his deal in 2026-26...
Top 4 Priorities for New Devils GM This Offseason
The New Jersey Devils are currently engaged in a search for a new head of hockey operations and general manager after letting Tom Fitzgerald go earlier this week. Whoever they bring in will have a whole lot of work ahead of them in getting this team back on track. The Devils have now missed the playoffs in 11 of the last 14 years, since their last Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 2012. Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com has suggested a list of top priority items that the...
3 Philadelphia Flyers Potential Offseason Goalie Targets
The Philadelphia Flyers should be looking to add another backup or 1B goalie this offseason. Samuel Ersson has struggled as the team's backup this season, as evidenced by his .867 save percentage and his 3.15 goals-against average in 31 games this season. Due to this, let's look at three goalies who the Flyers should consider targeting this summer to form a strong tandem with Dan Vladar. Stuart Skinner, Pittsburgh Penguins If the Penguins do not re-sign Skinner, he is a...
3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Evander Kane
With the Vancouver Canucks rebuilding, it is unlikely that forward Evander Kane will be back with them next season. The 34-year-old winger is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and should generate interest if he hits the market. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to sign Kane this summer. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning should be looking to add to their forward depth this offseason. Their bottom six could use a boost, and Kane would provide the...
Maple Leafs Make Controversial Hiring In GM Search
The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't hired a new GM yet, but they've already managed to create controversy. Toronto retained Neil Glasberg and The Coaches Agency to help run the search for their next head of hockey operations, and people noticed something almost immediately: Sunny Mehta, Florida's assistant general manager and one of the more talked-about candidates for the job, is a Glasberg client. The same person managing Toronto's search also represents one of the people being consi...
Could Red Wings Trade Alex Debrincat If They Miss the Playoffs?
The Detroit Red Wings are in serious danger of missing the playoffs for the tenth time in ten years, and the question of what comes next is already starting to surface. Matt Marchese brought it to Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet's The FAN Hockey Show this week: if Detroit misses the postseason again and decides something has to change, would they consider moving Alex DeBrincat? "The hardest thing to do in this league is score," Friedman said. "The first thing you do when you trade a guy l...
Report: Maple Leafs to trade Morgan Rielly
Expect some big roster changes for the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, and it starts with defenceman Morgan Rielly. The longest-tenured Maple Leaf has been all over the place this season, and has been one of the many reasons Toronto hasn't reached expectations. Rielly's inconsistent play defensively has led to several turning points in games, and with a much needed culture change on deck for the Maple Leafs, reports have surfaced stating the team is ready to move on. Nick Kypreos: Re Morgan R...
Avalanche's Nazem Kadri leaves game vs. Blues with upper-body injury
Talk about terrible timing for the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs were taking on the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night, and center Nazem Kadri took a shot off the hand, and had to leave the game with an upper-body injury. Colorado won the game 3-1 over the Blues, but Kadri left in midway through the game, and now the team is holding their breath that his hand, wrist, or finger isn't broken. Losing Kadri two weeks before the Stanley Cup Playoffs would be a massive blow to the Avs' dressing room. He...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Blues' Jordan Binnington
The St. Louis Blues started their re-tool this season, and heading into this offseason, expect to see major changes continue for their roster. Whether it's Doug Armstrong in charge, or Alex Steen, the Blues are changing up the core of their roster, and we've already seen Colton Parayko almost dealt, Justin Faulk and Brayden Schenn moved, and in the offseason, expect to see goaltender Jordan Binnington moved. Binnington, 32, has one year left on his contract at $6 million AAV. He owns a 10-team...
Canucks To Trade Jake DeBrusk This Summer
Back at the trade deadline, Jake DeBrusk told anyone who'd listen that he wasn't interested in being part of a rebuild. He wanted out of Vancouver, and the Canucks were trying to oblige. Unfortunately, at the time, there was no interest around the league. It's quite likely that will change in the summer. Teams that are looking for an offensive boost in their middle six will look at that $5.5 million cap hit, and figure that's about as reasonable as it gets in the new cap environme...
Shocking Update on Senators' Injured D-Man Thomas Chabot
It was only a week and a half ago that the Ottawa Senators got devastating news for their playoff push: Defenseman Thomas Chabot was expected to be out six-to-eight weeks with a broken arm. But in a stunning update on Tuesday, Chabot was there on the ice at practice with the Sens. Thomas Chabot is at practice for the first time since breaking his forearm. He’s wearing a yellow non-contact jersey. pic.twitter.com/mobISDfDh2 — Alex Adams (@alexadamsBTP_) April 7, 2026 Sure, he was we...
Sheldon Keefe Says His Job is on the Line At Season’s End
The New Jersey Devils no longer have a president of hockey operations or general manager, but that hasn't stopped the team from leaving head coach Sheldon Keefe believing that his job is seriously in jeopardy. Of course, the speculation that Keefe could be done shouldn't come as any surprise after this poor Devils season. But now the head coach has admitted that he'll be under the gun as soon as the season ends. Sheldon Keefe confirms he’s been told he’ll be under evaluation at sea...
LA Kings To Bring In NCAA Leading Goal Scorer This Summer
The Los Angeles Kings have improved slightly of late in the goal-scoring department, but despite the addition of Artemi Panarin, putting the biscuit in the basket is still something the team will be looking to improve on significantly for next season. To that end, they have announced that they are bringing in college hockey's top goal-scorer from the 2025-26 season. Free agent Hayden Stavroff of Dartmouth will be at the Kings Development Camp this summer, as reported by Mayor's Man...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Maple Leafs' Max Domi
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to look much different to start next season, and veteran forward Max Domi is one of the Leafs prime trade candidates. Domi has been inconsistent as ever since he's joined the Maple Leafs, working hard to find a secure role within the lineup, but essentially, Craig Berube hasn't been able to find him a permanent home. Domi's inconsistencies are going to lead to a trade this offseason, even with Domi holding a 13-team no-trade clause. The versatile veteran has t...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly
There's a culture change coming for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and in order to make the drastic changes they need in the dressing room, the team is going to need to move on from defenceman, Morgan Rielly. Rielly's the longest tenured Maple Leaf and with a new general manager, and possibly a new head coach coming in this summer, look for Rielly to be approached about waiving his no-movement clause. Word is Brad Treliving and Rielly spoke at the end of last season in their exit interview and Treli...
3 Offseason Trade Destinations for Canucks' Elias Pettersson
The Vancouver Canucks are officially in a rebuild and will be a big team to watch during the offseason because of it. One of their biggest trade candidates is forward Elias Pettersson, as it is no secret that the 27-year-old is in need of a change of scenery. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire the former 102-point center this summer. Detroit Red Wings The Red Wings desperately need another top-six center, so they could be a team to watch when it comes...
3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Sergei Bobrovsky
Sergei Bobrovsky is one of the most notable pending unrestricted free agents heading into the summer. While the 37-year-old has had a rough 2025-26 season, he should still generate interest this offseason if he hits the free-agent market due to his incredible resume. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to sign Bobrovsky this offseason if the Florida Panthers do not re-sign him. Edmonton Oilers The Oilers certainly would be a team to watch if Bobrovsky ends up...
3 Boston Bruins Offseason Top-Six Winger Targets
The Boston Bruins should be looking to add at least one top-six winger to their roster during the offseason. It is clear that they could use more skill in their top six, so it could be a busy summer for the Black and Gold. Because of this, let's look at three wingers who the Bruins should strongly consider targeting during the offseason. Brock Boeser, Vancouver Canucks With the Canucks being in a full rebuild, the possibility of Boeser being moved during the summer is certainly the...
Islanders & Pete DeBoer Open Up on Shocking Signing: 'Out of Left Field'
It was quite the shock on Easter Sunday, when the New York Islanders pulled a rabbit (Easter bunny?) out of their hat, and replaced head coach Patrick Roy with longtime bench boss veteran Pete DeBoer. With only four games to play, the Islanders will have to make up a one-point deficit to get back into playoff positioning, either in the Metropolitan Division or a Wild Card spot. And with DeBoer reporting for his first day on the job on Monday, he opened up about the stunning t...
Devils & Tom Fitzgerald Part Ways

Shocking Offseason Destination Named for Toronto Maple Leafs Captain Auston Matthews
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in turmoil, as the team's culture has been on display, and it's horrid. A captain unprotected, a sophomore NHL player ( Matthew Knies ) chirping at a former fourth-line center, and general manager Brad Treliving getting fired. The situation continues to degrade, as speculation rises about where captain Auston Matthews, a Gold Medal winner with Team USA in Milan-Cortina, could land next in the NHL. Matthews' entire career has been spent with the To...
Brendan Shanahan Linked to ‘Best Fit’ Eastern Conference Team For Next Gig
Brendan Shanahan has been biding his time since being let go by the Toronto Maple Leafs from his job as team president one year ago. He joined the NHL’s hockey operations department in an advisory capacity and has served as a Hockey Canada consultant. But he's still anxious to get back to leading a team's hockey operations, and according to Arthur Staple of The Athletic, the New Jersey Devils are the "best fit" if they look to bring in a new boss man. "The guy that's out ther...
5 Notable Teams in the Running for Free Agent Hobey Baker Favorite TJ Hughes

Hughes was also named one of the three Hobey Hat Trick finalists, for a chance to be named the Hobey Baker Award winner as the top NCAA player of the year.

Two Intriguing Names Emerge for Maple Leafs GM Opening
The names are flying fast and furious for the front office openings in Toronto. The latest word from insider Elliotte Friedman is that we shouldn't expect Doug Armstrong to be leaving St. Louis to take a position with the Maple Leafs . "The timing isn't right," the insider reports on his 32 Thoughts Podcast. But he does name two other intriguing candidates whom he has heard are possibilities. I think they want to try something a bit different... One name I do think is g...
