The Detroit Red Wings are starting to realize they're far from contending, and can shift their trade focus to future considerations.

Arber Xhekaj becoming trade target of Metropolitan team
Some teams around the NHL have not gotten off to the starts they'd hoped for, and are already looking to make changes. We saw the Philadelphia Flyers sign unrestricted free agent Michael Bunting earlier this week to address their forward group.

David Pagnotta reported on the DFO Insider that Philly has had an eye on Montreal Canadiens enforcer Arber Xhekaj. Arber Xhekaj is a guy the...
'Out Of Left Field' Team Enters Hellebuyck Chase
Connor Hellebuyck is already down $156,000 after Wednesday night's contest for the Winnipeg Jets. He's surrendering $39,000 a game for his holdout while the Jets play on—undefeated—with two new goaltenders who are doing more than fine thus far. A stunning 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche has them at 3-0-1. The three-time Vezina Trophy winner wants a trade, but the Jets aren't going to just give him away. They're waiting for a return that will help them continue to win this season. The Ameri...
Canadiens May Be Showcasing Kirby Dach For Trade
Montreal moved Kirby Dach onto its second line this week, and analyst Pierre McGuire thinks the Canadiens could be doing it to put him in the shop window. McGuire said on The Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro that Montreal is "showcasing him going forward." "I think they're trying to expose Kirby at the highest level so that people might take an interest in him," McGuire said. An Injury Created The Opening Dach moved up because Ivan Demidov will miss two to four weeks with a lower-body inj...

Whitecloud's Price Could Climb Di Marco reported Tuesday that Flames s...
Penguins Say Another Roster Move Is Coming
The Pittsburgh Penguins traded forward Filip Hallander to Edmonton on Wednesday for left-shot defenseman Spencer Stastney, and assistant GM Jason Spezza says the roster shuffle isn't over. Spezza answered questions by email from the beat writers after the deal, and he confirmed that "a subsequent move will have to be made once Kuzmenko is activated off non-roster, but we have to get through the next two games and determine where our roster stands at that point before making any decisions." The...

3 trade targets proposed as Flyers focus on fixing blueline
The Philadelphia Flyers are off to a dreadful start to the season, being outscored 17-5 in four winless games. And while they added a bit of help on the offensive end with a free agent signing this week, there's still work to be done on the blueline. Several reports have them looking to add on the backline, preferably with size. Of course, if you're talking about size, 6'6" young star RFA Simon Edvisson would be "a great fit" in Philly, says insider Frank Seravalli. And they have been mentione...

The intrigue surrounding the Boston Bruins and pending unrestricted free agent Pavel Zacha continues to veer off in new directions. Last week, we heard that the player himself is in no rush to sign an extension .

Boston was quite interested in Kirill Marchenko before the Columbus Blue Jackets traded him to the To...

Panthers' Brad Marchand helped off ice after ugly collision
The Florida Panthers have been struck by some bad injury luck, and after captain Aleksander Barkov recently hurt his knee, Brad Marchand has also done the same. Marchand was driving to the net on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Kings and got tangled up in the worst way. Marchand was driving to the net in the second period and had his left leg buckle underneath him, and by his immediate reaction, unfortunately, this doesn't look good.

Other teams are watching how the Flyers use David Jiricek. Frank Seravalli reports that teams are monitoring the 22-year-old's deployment.

Sharks' Macklin Celebrini Misses Game With Lower-Body Injury
There's some cause for concern in San Jose, after Sharks' captain Macklin Celebrini took warmup, and then was a late scratch against the Dallas Stars on Monday night. Celebrini didn't play due to a lower-body injury, and he'll be reevaluated on Tuesday. The Sharks superstar is obviously their biggest piece of their lineup, and losing Celebrini for a long stretch would be very costly to their playoff chances. Celebrini's posted five assists through his first two games this season, and looks to...
