Can Maple Leafs Land a First-Round Pick For Bobby McMann?
The Toronto Maple Leafs keep circling the same deadline question with Bobby McMann. If he is really pushing for a number near $5 million per season on an extension, is this the moment to sell high, and can they actually squeeze a first-round pick out of a contender? On the JD Bunkis Podcast , Sportsnet’s James Mirtle left the door open, but made it clear the market is a lot messier than fans want it to be. Can Toronto really get a first for Bobby McMann? Mirtle’s read is that M...
NHL Trade Rumors: Robert Thomas Projected to Land With Top Eastern Contender
If 26-year-old Robert Thomas is to be had at the upcoming trade deadline, it will take a very high price to do it. One recent report from Elliotte Friedman indicated that a team will have to make the St. Louis Blues say to themselves, 'there’s no way we can say no'. Which team is ready to try to bowl over the Blues with a Thomas offer? According to insider James Mirtle of The Athletic, we should not count out the Carolina Hurricanes making Thomas their next 'big swing.' Some...
Rangers Trade Rumors: Vincent Trocheck Projected To Land With Central Division Contender
At this point, nearly half the teams in the NHL have been linked to top New York Rangers trade candidate Vincent Trocheck. We looked at 10 of his best fits earlier this week. But insider Chris Johnston of The Athletic has made a specific projection for the Rangers center's next destination. With the serious three-team battle going on in the Central Division—and for Trocheck's services—Johnston predicts the Minnesota Wild will win the sweepstakes for the two-way center. There’s no m...
4 Trade Targets Cited for Two Penguins' Deadline Needs
Wasn't this supposed to be an all-out tank year for the Pittsburgh Penguins? Not so much, as it turns out. The team is unexpectedly having a sensational season, sitting in 2nd place in the Metropolitan Division at 29-15-12 for 70 points. Yes, building for the future is still squarely in focus for GM Kyle Dubas. Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now tells us that " Multiple reports and confirmations to Pittsburgh Hockey Now indicate Dubas has been working the phones to uncove...
Flyers Have A Trade Deadline Problem
The Philadelphia Flyers are a team in a position that organizations don't want to be in. They're not good enough for playoffs right now as they sit eight points back of a playoff spot and have won three of their last 10 games, they're not bad enough for a top-5 draft pick to have a good chance at winning the lottery or getting a game-changer, and they don't have players to sell for any value. So they have to either dig deep and trade players with term to get something out of the season or stan...
High Cost If Oilers Want To Acquire Maple Leafs' Ekman-Larsson
The Edmonton Oilers are one of the teams linked to Bobby McMann of the Toronto Maple Leafs and that's a move that makes a lot of sense considering he's a pending UFA and Toronto is sitting six points out of a playoff spot. But there appears to be another that the Oilers may have interest in as well. David Pagnotta said, "The Leafs aren't trading (Ekman-Larsson) for Mangiapane and a pick. So, sorry, that's not going to happen. You're probably looking at something like an Isaac Howard in a deal ...
One Big Name On Blues Remains In Trade Rumors
Changes have to be made to the St. Louis Blues , and some definitely will, but the right players have to be swapped out. This is a team with some solid young talent, but there are still some younger players that may not be part of the future. Jordan Kyrou may be one of them. Nick Kypreos said, "Jordan Kyrou's been out there for the last little while. I also believe that he's open to looking at different scenarios on trying to win a Stanley Cup." At this point, the Blues may not be rebuilding, ...
NHL Rumors: Vincent Trocheck Linked To Atlantic Division Team
The Boston Bruins hit the Olympic break right on the playoff edge, and they look primed to buy this trade deadline. With the New York Rangers already moving Artemi Panarin and leaning into a retool, multiple reports have Boston on the watch list for Vincent Trocheck. Why Trocheck keeps popping up for Boston Since Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci left the picture, the Bruins have been chasing a true top-of-the-line option down the middle, and Trocheck fits the type coach Marco Sturm ...
Blue Jackets & Blackhawks Becoming Trade Partners?
The Columbus Blue Jackets hit the Olympic break playing their best hockey of the season, and that heater has flipped their trade deadline story from “sell what you can” to “how far can this go?” The Athletic’s Aaron Portzline reported that general manager Don Waddell wants to help the room, but the next few weeks will decide whether this is a real playoff push or just a hot stretch that forces a hard pivot. Blue Jackets trade deadline: buy now or protect assets Portzline’s read is th...
Insider: Edmonton Oilers' Deadline Plans Aren't What You Think They Are
With all the talk about the Edmonton Oilers' defensive struggles, and the team potentially looking for a top-4, 'Mattias Ekholm (circa 2023) type' addition to their blueline at the deadline, at least one insider feels that's just not going to happen. Frank Seravalli insisted in a recent appearance on the Kevin Karius Show ( h/t David Staples, Edmonton Journal), that the defense is not the front office's focus right now. Honestly, I don’t see it. And I believe, just in the conversations t...
3 New Jersey Devils Most Likely to be Traded
The pressure is on in New Jersey, as Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald is taking a lot of heat for how the team is playing this season. The Devils entered the Olympic break with a 28-27-2 record, and since Fitzgerald is committed to head coach Sheldon Keefe, he'll be turning to his roster to re-tool ahead of the Mar. 6 trade deadline. The Devils have already added Nick Bjugstad recently, and ever since they lost out on Quinn Hughes joining his brothers, it's become paramount for the team t...
Blue Jackets' Plans Leading Up To Trade Deadline Might Surprise You
The Columbus Blue Jackets' 2025-26 campaign wasn't going according to plan through the first half of the season. However, a seven-game winning streak that they carried into the Olympic Break has changed the course for the front office. Now, during this two-week break, instead of planning on which pending unrestricted free agents they'll be selling, the latest intel is that Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell and his staff will be keeping busy doing their best to re-sign ...
New Jersey Devils place Marc McLaughlin on waivers
The New Jersey Devils were busy on Wednesday, as the team announced they've waived forward Marc McLaughlin. The 26-year-old was put on waivers with the purpose to send him down to the American Hockey League's Utica Comets. We'll see if he clears by 2pm Thursday, as McLaughlin is now available to all 31 teams to claim, with the worst team in the league, Vancouver Canucks, getting first crack at making a claim. McLaughlin hasn't suited up for the Devils this season, after he suffered an injury d...
Edmonton Oilers & Toronto Maple Leafs emerging as trade partners
The NHL's trade deadline is set for March 6, and once the Olympic roster freeze is over in less than two weeks, don't be surprised to see the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs complete a trade together. Multiple reports have surfaced recently stating the Oilers and Maple Leafs are active in trade discussions, and have discussed multiple different scenarios. Their talks include one of Bobby McMann, Nic Roy, Oliver Ekman-Larsson or Scott Laughton heading to Edmonton. The Oilers are in the ...
Utah Mammoth Linked to Two Vancouver Canucks Trade Candidates
The Utah Mammoth are expected to be aggressive at the trade deadline. They're lurking in the weeds, waiting to pounce . The team holds down the first Wild Card berth in the Western Conference, but ownership wants more. There's no doubt they will be buyers by March 6th. The Mammoth could use an additional difference maker for their top nine, according to Thomas Drance and Harman Dayal in The Athletic . Over the past month or so, Utah has been utilizing both K...
All Options On The Table For Canadiens' Laine
The Montreal Canadiens have played well all season and were playing well heading into the Olympic break, but they are still expected to make at least one upgrade before the trade deadline that approaches quickly after the NHL games start back up. With limited cap space, someone is going to have to be moved out if the Canadiens want to get a larger deal done. The most likely candidate is Patrik Laine for a few reasons. Pierre LeBrun said, "I think there's a chance that his contract gets moved i...
Canucks' Trade Candidate Would Be Great Fit For Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers are looking for some bottom-6 help, but more specifically, a player who knows his role and is comfortable in his role. A third line center that fits these would be a very good add for the Oilers, and at the same time, be able to move Andrew Mangiapane to free up a roster spot and cap space for the rest of this season and next. The Vancouver Canucks appear to have a great trade target that the Oilers should be interested in, and that's Teddy Blueger. He is in the last year o...
Maple Leafs Rumors: Multiple Plans For Trade Deadline
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have an interesting week and a bit coming out of the Olympic break as they sit six points back of a playoff spot and have decisions to make about their roster for this season and in preparation of the future. This is seen as a transition year, the first without Mitch Marner, and attempting to build a more rounded team with the money. That hasn't really worked out, but they are still in the race if they have a strong finish to the season. According to Pierre...
NHL Rumors: Senators Still Buying At Trade Deadline
The Ottawa Senators could have easily leaned into caution ahead of the roster freeze, but the latest word around the league is they are still trying to buy, coming out of the Olympic break. Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reported that general manager Steve Staios would prefer to add rather than subtract once the Olympic break ends, even after Ottawa chose the status quo before the freeze. The target list is not bargain bin depth either, with league executives telling Garrioch...
NHL Rumors: New Team Interested in Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz
The Toronto Maple Leafs could consider themselves having a rare “too many goalies” problem with the emergence of Dennis Hildeby. That puts Anthony Stolarz in the rumor spotlight, and Philadelphia is right in the middle of it. That being said, it's more that the Maple Leafs really don't have much to dangle in trade talks that would fetch as much of a return as Stolarz might. Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos has been beating the drum that Toronto’s crease depth is a legit luxury, and that ...
Canucks Set High Price For Teddy Blueger
The Vancouver Canucks are a clear seller this season after the couple of moves already made earlier this season. They are going to continue moving what they can and one of the players that will be traded is Teddy Blueger, but the price might be a little high for some to hold onto interest and not shop around elsewhere, but just right for others. Thomas Drance reported, "Based on what I'm hearing about Teddy Blueger's market value, Vancouver is looking for at least a third-round pick." That's n...
10 Potential Trade Destinations for Vincent Trocheck
Vincent Trocheck is right near the top of most NHL trade boards as we get set to close in on the March 6 deadline. The New York Rangers are looking to sell, and Trocheck's gritty, two-way play, plus his reasonable cap hit of $5.625 for another three years, has many teams salivating about adding him. Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic has proposed a list of 10 potential trade destinations for Trocheck. And while the player does have a 12-team no-trade list to keep in mind, the inside...
Very Likely Oilers Will Be Able To Trade Forward By Deadline
The Edmonton Oilers have upgrades yet to do. Exactly where those will come remains to be seen, but there's a good chance at least one will come at forward. They are close to the salary cap, so ideally, the Oilers will be able to move out at least one body who hasn't lived up to expectations mixed with poor usage. Nick Kypreos said, "The Oilers continue to work the market for Andrew Mangiapane and should be able to find a partner by March 6, though the return isn't likely to be anything major."...
Minnesota Wild Still Very Interested In Upgrading One Position
Though the Minnesota Wild have made the biggest addition of the season (LA close with Artemi Panarin now) with Quinn Hughes, they are still interested in upgrading further. Their forward group isn't where they want it to be, and by trading for Hughes, they sent Marco Rossi and Liam Ohgren to the Vancouver Canucks . The Wild have had some solid performances this season by unexpected players and have a competent top-6, but definitely need more if they're going to compete with the likes of the Da...
NHL Rumors: Wild Reveal Asking Price In a Jesper Wallstedt Trade
The Minnesota Wild didn’t pay a king’s ransom for Quinn Hughes just to sit back and admire the view. Since that blockbuster, they’ve looked like a real problem in the West, and with a Central Division arms race staring them down, Bill Guerin is going to keep shopping for a true difference-maker down the middle. That is why the Jesper Wallstedt trade noise is slowly starting to gain more steam, and if the Florida Panthers ever got serious about it, the Wild would be looking for a pl...
