Lightning Likely Going To Circle Back On Trade Target From Flames
The Tampa Bay Lightning may not have had the best start to the season, but they have proven themselves to be a powerhouse just past the halfway point in the season. As a top team in the Eastern Conference, they are going to be making additions and could go after someone they traded for at the trade deadline a number of years ago. Chris Johnston said, "Would it at all be surprising...just knowing the way the Lightning operate, if they circle back on a guy like Blake Coleman?" Unless the Calgary...
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs Could Trade A Goaltender
Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos just poured gasoline on the Toronto Maple Leafs rumor mill by floating that Toronto could turn its goalie depth into help elsewhere before the March trade deadline. With Joseph Woll holding the crease and reinforcements coming, Kypreos’ idea is to cash in from a position of surplus to chase a scoring winger or a defenseman. Why Kypreos has Toronto looking at its crease as leverage The heart of the chatter is Anthony Stolarz, largely because his situation checks e...

The Flames are believed to be trying to land this deal before the NHL Olympic break (Feb. 6 to 25) , with Elliotte Friedman noting the talks have ramped up again. James Murphy reveals Boston’s Andersson package Per Murphy’s reporting, the Bruins’ offer includes Lohrei and a 2026 first , and Boston has the amm...
Blackhawks UFAs: Insider Breaks Down Who Stays, Who Goes At Deadline
The Chicago Blackhawks have a slew of pending unrestricted free agents on their roster (six, to be exact), and we can expect to see them sell off a number of them. But not all. The list looks like this: Nick Foligno Jason Dickinson Ilya Mikheyev Connor Murphy Sam Lafferty Matt Grzelcyk "There's interest in these players, and there are teams interested to find out who's available," said insider David Pagnotta on the DFO Rundown . He says at least one of those names is more likely to ...
Oilers & Flyers Becoming Potential Trade Partners
When was the last time we could say that the Edmonton Oilers have goaltending depth to trade from? That seems to be the case right now, as Connor Ingram has impressed the team with his work since coming up in late December, and Tristan Jarry has returned to the crease as well after missing several weeks. They also have a smoking-hot prospect tearing it up at the AHL level. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Flyers could be in a bind between the pipes. Dan Vladar has been excellent as the No...
4 Teams Active In Advanced Trade Talks
The NHL's trade market is heating up in the middle of January, as several teams have a pretty good sense where they stand as a buyer or a seller. Several general managers are busy trying to make changes to their roster and it's expected we'll see a flurry of trades before the Olympic roster freeze in February. Right now, the biggest name on the market appears to be New Jersey Devils' defenceman Dougie Hamilton, who was recently scratched by the Devils, and is involved in several different trad...
Mitch Marner ready to battle the nerves vs. Maple Leafs
Mitch Marner is enjoying the new chapter of his life as a Vegas Golden Knight, but it's hard not to think about all the wonderful, and stressful memories that came from his tenure as a Toronto Maple Leaf. On Thursday night in Vegas, Marner will suit up against a bunch of his former teammates for the very first time. Marner met with the media ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, and admitted while he's uber excited to see how he does against his old bestie Auston Matthews, there's going to ...
Insider Links 4 Teams to Artemi Panarin Trade
The New York Rangers may have hit rock bottom with that ugly 10-2 loss to the Boston Bruins last weekend, but they haven't been able to stop the bleeding yet. They're now winless in five straight, and have just one win in their last nine. They're edging closer and closer to official "SELL" territory (if they aren't there already). The biggest name, of course, that GM Chris Drury could move, is pending unrestricted free agent—and Rangers top scorer—Artemi Panarin. It doesn't appear as if ...
Red Wings Need Top-6 Upgrade Ahead Of Trade Deadline
The Detroit Red Wings are a top-5 team in the NHL this season and are tied in second place in the Eastern Conference. It might finally be the year they turn things around and snap the nine-year playoff drought in a big way. The Red Wings have over $28 million in cap space, so there is so much room to add. Not only do they need a good defensive upgrade, they also need to address their forward group. Jeff Marek said, "A top-6 winger is what this team - I shouldn't say top-6 winger, a top-6 forwa...
Red Wings Dropped Ball On Acquiring Quinn Hughes
When Quinn Hughes was in talks to be traded from the Vancouver Canucks , there wasn't just one or two teams, Minnesota Wild and New Jersey Devils , that he would have liked to go to. At the very least, there was another, the Detroit Red Wings, that the star defenseman would have also been happy playing for until his contract is up. Elliotte Friedman said, "Hughes wanted to go to the Red Wings. They were one of the teams he was very interested in, but Steve Yzerman wasn't doing that without an ...
Oilers' Mangiapane Linked To Struggling Team Out East
The Edmonton Oilers have inserted Andrew Mangiapane back into the lineup for the last couple of games, and he still doesn't exactly seem to fit in. The third line of Jack Roslovic, Matt Savoie, and Isaac Howard was more exciting and had better chances. With that being said, the Oilers might be trying to get Mangiapane going to get something in return in a trade, but that isn't needed. There has been rumored interest in Mangiapane, as he is a middle-6 winger who can score and has a nasty side. ...
Flames Rumors: Update On Blake Coleman & Nazem Kadri Trade Talks
Calgary’s trade board is getting louder again, and insider Elliotte Friedman says the Nazem Kadri noise is still just noise, but Blake Coleman has legitimate traction around the league. On the 32 Thoughts podcast, Friedman said he has “nothing to add” on Kadri, while adding that there’s “a lot of interest” in Coleman, even if Coleman himself would be fine staying put in Calgary. Friedman’s read on Coleman interest Coleman’s name keeps coming up because he checks every contender box: ...
NHL Rumors: Philadelphia Flyers Making Trade Calls
Philadelphia Flyers goaltending has officially reached a tipping point, and Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff reports the club is now considering trade market alternatives if Samuel Ersson’s slide keeps costing them points. Ersson’s numbers have been rough over a two year sample, and this season has dipped to an .858 save percentage with a 3.33 goals against average. With the Flyers sitting in the thick of the playoff race, they cannot afford many more nights where the margin disap...
3 Rangers Most Likely To Be Traded By Deadline
The New York Rangers season went from bad to worse last weekend as they let the Boston Bruins put up a 10-spot on them, and now, all the attention has turned to GM Chris Drury, and exactly how he's going to handle his roster. The Rangers are last in the Eastern Conference and there's no doubt some big moves are coming for the blue shirts. They've had some injury troubles this season, including goaltender Igor Shesterkin, but it's certainly a disappointing season to this point on Broadway, as m...
Devils' GM Confirms Trade Talks Heating Up on 2 Players in New Jersey
The New Jersey Devils are open for business as general manager Tom Fitzgerald appears to be willing to do whatever he can to turn around their season, and perhaps, keep his job. Fitzgerald met with the media on Wednesday and opened up about how things are going for his team, some of their struggles with injuries, and most importantly, the ongoing trade talks around a couple of his veterans, including defenceman Dougie Hamilton and forward Ondrej Palat. “These are two respected players,” Fitzge...
Vancouver Canucks Working On Elias Pettersson Trade; 3 Teams Linked
The Vancouver Canucks have committed to a full rebuild and after moving captain Quinn Hughes, the attention has turned to forward Elias Pettersson. The Canucks have held trade conversations the past two seasons on Pettersson, and from all accounts, it sounds like these talks have advanced this season, and they are closer than ever to moving him. Pettersson, 27, is signed through the 2032 season at a whopping $11.6 million, and this season has a full no-movement clause. Word is the team has bee...
Former Maple Leafs D-Man Jani Hakanpaa Returns to the Ice, Signs New Contract
The Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jani Hakanpaa in the summer of 2024 despite a chronic knee issue. The big, physical defenseman managed to play in just two games for the Buds as he spent most of last season still recovering from his latest knee procedures. But it appears that all is well (or at least as well as can be) with the 6-foot-7 d-man's health, as he has signed a contract for the rest of the 2026 season—in his native Finland. Maple Leafs LEGEND Jani Hakanpaa has signed a one-year d...
Maple Leafs Looking To Add Due To Tanev's Injury
The Toronto Maple Leafs have surged back into a playoff spot and they are looking good. They have done that while dealing with injuries and a banged up defensive group. Chris Tanev is the key piece missing from the back-end, and it doesn't look like he'll be returning to action during the regular season, so an addition is in order. David Pagnotta said, "Chris Tanev's season is probably over, for the regular season anyways. They're going to look to see if they can make an addition on that back-...
Breaking: Canadiens Reward Alexandre Texier With Multi-Year Extension
Alexandre Texier has made a significant impact for the Montreal Canadiens since coming on board in late November. His $1 million 'bet on himself' signing with the Habs has paid off quickly, as Montreal has now signed the versatile forward to a two-year extension worth $5 million ($2.5M AAV). #GoHabsGo signed Alexandre Texier to a two-year extension: 2 years x $2.5 million = $5 million total. — Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) January 14, 2026 Texier had his contract mutually terminated by th...
NHL Rumors: Senators & Canucks Becoming Trade Partners; 4 Targets Named
The Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks met at Canadian Tire Centre in the nation's capital on Tuesday night (a 2-1 Ottawa win), but the Sens' president of hockey operations and general manager Steve Staios couldn't wait for that to get a look at several potential Canucks' trade targets. He also made a trip to Montreal the day before to get another look at Vancouver's assets. As Bruce Garrioch reported in the Ottawa Sun, Staios is "actively working t...
Canadiens May Be Out On Potential Acquisition From Flames
The Montreal Canadiens are still looking to upgrade further this season. They feel like they have as good a chance as any in the Eastern Conference and want to continue to build off of last season and the previous additions to make the team better. The Canadiens are dealing with injuries to Alex Newhook, Patrik Laine, Kirby Dach, and Jake Evans, so they have been hit very hard at center. To address this a little, Phillip Danault was re-acquired from the Los Angeles Kings , but he isn't having ...
3 Teams Pushing To Acquire Canucks' Sherwood
The Vancouver Canucks have lost eight games in a row and 10 of their last 111. The team sits dead last in the league and already traded away their franchise player in Quinn Hughes. There is no reason to think that more moves aren't coming soon with the way things are going. One of the biggest, even the biggest piece that the Canucks can trade is Kiefer Sherwood. David Pagnotta said, "Dallas has been in on it. Boston, Minnesota even prior to the Quinn Hughes move. There are others." There is no...
NHL Rumors: What Will the Maple Leafs Do With Bobby McMann?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are getting real production from a winger making just $1.35 million and now have to decide whether that value is worth paying for long term. At 29 and trending toward unrestricted free agency on July 1, Bobby McMann has made himself harder to ignore by producing like a top six piece, with 20 goals last season and 14 goals already this year while flashing the speed and edge that popped when he got a look higher in the lineup. Keep Bobby McMann and pay the new pri...
NHL Trade Rumors: Penguins Linked to Four Young Players
The Pittsburgh Penguins are keeping the buy and sell doors open at the same time. Pittsburgh Hockey Now’s Dan Kingerski leaned into that reality by flagging four young players Kyle Dubas should have on the radar as trade chatter heats up, all guys with pedigree, upside, and the kind of “change of scenery” appeal the Penguins have chased in recent years. Jakob Pelletier Kingerski’s list starts with Jakob Pelletier , a 2019 first round pick (26th overall) who is now in the Tampa Bay Li...
Former Vancouver Canucks Head Coach Rips Team
The Vancouver Canucks ' season has been bad, and is getting worse by the day. The Canucks are dead last in the NHL. But the bad vibes in Vancouver are nothing new in recent years, as former head coach Bruce Boudreau pointed out on TSN's First Up show this week. Boudreau was the Canucks bench boss for parts of two seasons, as recently as 2023. He's not surprised to see what's happening there today, given the culture that has surrounded the franchise. Over the past three years,...
