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.

He's playing out the final season of his four-year, $7.875 million deal he signed with the Wings back in 2023. He'll be looking ...

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
The NHL's trade market is heating up, and the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings are in the middle of it all. 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. The Bruins are loaded with young NHL talent and have a couple of top prospects who are pushing for regular minutes within Boston's lineup. The Red Wings were holding firm for immediate impact players, but have since soft...

The rumors connecting unrestricted free agent Vladimir Tarasenko and the Florida Panthers continue to make the rounds. Now, insider Pierre LeBrun has dropped some intriguing updates on the unsigned Russian forward's situation. Tarasenko continues to work out in South Florida, and we know he had a nice little run with them down the stretch in 2024, helping the Cats to a Stanley Cup title. According to LeBrun, speaking on RDS NHL Round-Up , the Panthers did indeed make the six-time 30-go...
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...
Red Wings Changing Trade Focus In Recent Talks
The Detroit Red Wings are starting to realize they're far from contending, and can shift their trade focus to future considerations. Speculation is brewing that the Red Wings front office has changed their tone of late, and is open to different trade packages for former captain Dylan Larkin, and restricted free-agent defenceman Simon Edvinsson. Sportnet's Frank Seravalli reports, the Red Wings are active in trade chatter, and could see some top prospects and draft picks coming back in return: ...
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. But as we've also mentioned, the blueline is something the Flyers are also looking to bolster. 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...
Report: Flames' Asking Price Climbing For Coveted Defenseman
The Calgary Flames are hearing from other teams on three players, and according to Daily Faceoff's David Pagnotta and Anthony Di Marco , the one drawing the most attention is also the one Calgary seems least eager to move. Pagnotta discussed Connor Zary, Zach Whitecloud, and Morgan Frost on Wednesday's Daily Faceoff LIVE , with the Flames off to a rough start after losing their first three games by a combined score of 16-3. 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...
Oilers Interested In Bruins Top Prospect Matthew Poitras
While the Boston Bruins may not be selling , the team has garnered interest in top prospect Matthew Poitras. It had been reported by Frank Seravalli, that the Oilers had checked in on the team's latest promotion to the team, after demoting former fourth-line center Sean Kuraly to the 13th forward on the team. Poitras had a short look in the NHL last season, playing three games and scoring one goal, spending the majority of the year honing his skills in the AHL with the Providence B...
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...

Report Reveals Bruins Tried To Trade Pavel Zacha
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 . However, the latest report, from Pierre LeBrun in The Athletic, is that the Bruins already tried to trade him before the season began, and they have concerns about an extension. Boston was quite interested in Kirill Marchenko before the Columbus Blue Jackets traded him to the To...
NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs shopping veteran defenceman on trade market
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka hasn't been shy making bold moves to upgrade his roster, and after a season-eve blockbuster to land Kirill Marchenko, it sounds like the Leafs GM is looking to upgrade his blueline. There's been growing speculation around the league that Chayka has been making trade calls looking for a mobile defenceman in his prime, and has been offering veteran blueline Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a package that likely also includes 19-year-old prospect Tinus Luc K...
