Latest Patrik Laine Update Has 5 Teams Still Interested In The UFA

Unrestricted free agent Patrik Laine is still unsigned a couple of weeks into the season. Some reports say that he hasn't been offered an actual deal yet, while others insist that he is being very picky about where he signs. Insider David Pagnotta appeared on the Hello Hockey podcast and suggested that there are five teams in the mix at this point.  As many have heard in recent days, the Calgary Flames seem to be around it, but Pagnotta names four other teams as well: Los Angeles Kings ...

Report: Flames & Maple Leafs Linked To Trade

The Calgary Flames and Toronto Maple Leafs could pull off a trade this season, and expect to see defenceman Zach Whitecloud included. The Leafs have been monitoring Whitecloud's future with the Flames since last summer, as trade talks engaged shortly after the free-agency period opened. Entering the third week of the season, the Flames have yet to win a game, and the Maple Leafs have a need on defence. Chris Tanev left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and is expected to miss multiple ...

Report: Connor Hellebuyck Considering Return To Jets?

With a website that's running a live second-by-second counter of how much money Connor Hellebuyck is losing by continuing to sit at home, it might not surprise you to hear that he's starting to consider whether it would be prudent for him to return to the Winnipeg Jets lineup.  The live counter, at hellebucks.com , now shows that the three-time Vezina Trophy winner has lost well about half a million dollars (at $38,660 a day, or 45 cents a second) as of Sunday night while under suspension...

Canadian Team Linked To Connor Zary Trade Interest

Connor Zary cleared waivers this past week in a surprising move by the Calgary Flames . No team was interested enough in taking a chance on the former first-rounder to take on his $3.775 cap hit.  So Zary is back in the American Hockey League with the Wranglers Friday night for the first time in three years. He scored a goal in his return there.  The Flames will be continuing their efforts to find a trade partner for Zary, and on that front, insider Elliotte Friedman has suggest...

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev Injured Vs. Avalanche

It's the same ol' story for the Toronto Maple Leafs, as just two weeks into the season, defenceman Chris Tanev had to leave a game injured. The rugged right-handed defenceman was hit awkwardly against the Colorado Avalanche, and appeared to have suffered an upper-body injury on the player, perhaps a separated shoulder. Here's the play in question: Tanev seems to get hurt on this play in the first period https://t.co/eNx8goax4y — Maple Leafs Hotstove (@LeafsNews) October 11, 2026 Tanev ...

5 Rangers' Trade Targets to Replace Igor Shesterkin

The New York Rangers will be without goaltender Igor Shesterkin for the season, after the Russian netminder hurt himself trying to make a save Friday night against the Washington Capitals. General manager Chris Drury is now tasked with trying to find a replacement in net for this season, as the Rangers are now without their two best goaltenders. There's been some talks about Jonathan Quick coming out of retirement, and while that's certainly a possibility, Drury could find a new goaltender on ...

4 Young Centers Named As Trade Targets For Red Wings In Edvinsson Deal

As the Simon Edvinsson situation drags on in Detroit (and Sweden), the Red Wings are still determined to sign the restricted free agent, but teams around the league are circling like vultures, hoping to grant Edvinsson his wish of "preferring" to be traded.  Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet has suggested that if Dylan Larkin is eventually traded, it could actually be that the return on an Edvinsson swap, if it happens, could bring the Wings the elite young center they're insisting on getting. That...

Dillon Dubé Out Of Blues Lineup For Extended Period

Tough break for St. Louis Blues forward Dillon Dube in his NHL comeback season. He suffered a neck injury on an ugly-looking fall head-first into the boards in the first period on Thursday night, and will be out at least eight weeks.  NEWS: #stlblues F Dillon Dube will miss 8 weeks after suffering a neck injury Thursday vs #SJSharks. https://t.co/97bC1RwF9K — NHL News (@PuckReportNHL) October 10, 2026 He was able to skate to the bench under his own power, and played the rest of the game, ...

Report: Jonathan Quick Could Come Out Of Retirement For Rangers

The New York Rangers were dealt a devastating blow on Saturday as they learned that Igor Shesterkin has suffered a season-ending injury . With that, New York's promising start to the season (4-2-0) could come crashing down if they don't find a solution between the pipes. Cue Jonathan Quick? According to insider Emily Kaplan, the 40-year-old Quick, who hung up the goalie pads after serving as Shesterkin's backup for the last three years, could come out of retirement—if the Rangers asked him.&nb...

3 Potential Trade Destinations for Predators' Steven Stamkos

The Nashville Predators remain a team to watch on the NHL's trade market, as general manager Chris MacFarland has made a whopping 10 trades since he took over in June. The Preds GM has made it clear as day and has been very direct to his veterans, if the team struggles this season and isn't securely in a Stanley Cup Playoff spot, there will be a complete tear down. Pierre LeBrun: Re Predators: Here’s what I will infer, I think Chris MacFarland was pretty direct with [the veterans]...that if th...

Jets' Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck A Target For The Rangers?

Rangers starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin suffered a lower-body injury last night. The prospect of losing their top goaltender after a disappointing 3-1 loss to their divisional rivals, the Capitals, is tough to bear. The injury occurred during the second period after challenging a shot on goal by the Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois; he skated back into the crease where his skate hit the post, causing him to fall to the ice in pain, favoring his leg. The Russian goaltender has been a reliable pi...

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin Suffers Lower-Body Injury

The New York Rangers are holding their breath, as goaltender Igor Shesterkin suffered a lower-body injury on Friday night, and had to be helped off the ice, unable to put any weight on his leg. Shesterkin left in the second period of the game against the Washington Capitals. The Rangers would go on to lose the game 3-1, but losing Shesterkin for a long period of time could be very detrimental to their Stanley Cup Playoff chances this season. Igor Shesterkin went down with a leg injury and had...

Alex DeBrincat Called ‘A Perfect Match’ For Edmonton Oilers

As the Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson situations continue to play out in a chaotic start to the season for the Detroit Red Wings , questions have begun to arise about the future of Alex DeBrincat as well.

Nashville Predators GM Very Open About Trade Direction

Nashville Predators general manager Chris MacFarland has been very busy on the trade market, making nine moves since taking the job, and there's certainly more on the way. MacFarland has made it loud and clear to his players, if you win, we stay the course, if you lose, we'll continue to blow up the roster and move out some more vets. The Predators pulled out a win in Montreal on Thursday night, and it's obvious there's a few veterans on expiring contracts that are appealing to other teams. T...

Report: Bruins & Red Wings Discussing Blockbuster Trade

According to multiple reports, the Bruins have interest in Red Wings defenceman Simon Edvinsson, and there's also been talks about a mega-deal including Dylan Larkin.

Report: 3 Big Names Are Potential Trade Candidates For Nashville Predators

It was a tough collapse Wednesday night in Toronto for the Nashville Predators. After skating out to a 3-0 lead, the Preds lost their footing, and the Maple Leafs soared back for a 5-4 overtime victory. Nashville has just seven goals total in their three games (and four of them came in last night's loss). Should the team start to question their direction as the season moves along, it's quite possible that new president of hockey operations and general manager Chris MacFarland could p...

Leafs' Auston Matthews Happy For Mitch Marner's Success In Vegas

Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner spent almost a decade playing together with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and even though Marner turned his back on the franchise, Matthews was still very happy to see Marner's success in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Vegas Golden Knights. Marner and Matthews are set to faceoff for the first time this season, and Matthews was asked about Marner leading the league in postseason points last season. It's obvious the two remain very close off the ice, and have still...

NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs reject multiple trade offers

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to be a team to watch on the NHL's trade market. General manager John Chayka has been busy since he took over revamping the roster, and there's certainly more moves to come for the Leafs. However, don't expect to see Easton Cowan traded, as the former first-round pick has moved up the lineup, taking over for Gavin McKenna on Toronto's second line, and despite tons of trade interest, the team won't be moving Cowan anytime soon. Elliotte Friedman: Re Easton Cowan...

One More Jets' Veteran Could Be Asking Out This Season

No one wants to throw water on the tremendous start that the Winnipeg Jets have had this season. They're one of the best stories of this young NHL campaign, getting off to an unbeaten 3-0-1 start with two new goalies playing lights-out in place of their All-Star holdout, Connor Hellebuyck. But there's one other Jets veteran who might not want to be a part of the team for the entire season, according to a report by Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast.   I think the only other thin...
