It came out nearly a month ago that defenceman Darnell Nurse had asked the Edmonton Oilers for a trade. Nothing happened for a few weeks, but then he expanded the teams where he was willing to accept a trade, and the deal finally came to fruition as Ryan Rishaug initially reported that Nurse was sent [...]
Overnight, depending on where you live, Pierre LeBrun reported that the Tampa Bay Lightning signed defenceman John Carlson to a two-year contract with an $8.5M average annual value. Carlson had 60 points in 71 games last season, splitting time between the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks. He turns 37 years old in January and has [...]
Yesterday was a busy day across the league, even if there weren’t many big free agents available. Let’s go through some of them. To start us off, the Toronto Maple Leafs traded winger Nick Robertson to Pittsburgh for a fourth-round pick. Over the last three years, he’s scored 1.09 goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5, [...]
The story with the Detroit Red Wings remains what the future of Dylan Larkin is with the team, and what any kind of trade return will look like. Until that bridge is crossed, there are still roster spots that need filling, and Pierre LeBrun reported that the Wings signed winger Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year [...]
On Monday night, the Vegas Golden Knights traded goaltender Akira Schmid to the Florida Panthers. The Panthers were in need for a pair of goalies, so Schmid knocked one domino down. On Tuesday afternoon, the second domino fell as the Panthers acquired goalie Jacob Markstrom from the New Jersey Devils. Markström is set to start [...]
With both Sergei Bobrovsky and Daniil Tarasov as unrestricted free agents, the Florida Panthers were loading up as a super team without a goalie tandem, or a goalie at all. That changed late on Monday night as the Panthers acquired Vegas Golden Knights netminder Akira Schmid for a third-round pick in the 2028 Draft. Schmid [...]
The NHL’s free agency period starts tomorrow, and while teams and players aren’t engaged in talks prior to the official opening of free agency (I type that while winking so hard I give myself a headache), there are usually a lot of key signings fantasy managers need to stay on top of. The team here [...]
The New York Rangers finished 29th in the NHL in the 2025-26 season, otherwise known as dead last in the East. That comes one season after finishing 22nd in the NHL. Their top three forwards will all be 33 years old for the 2026-27 campaign. They have two good defencemen. Knowing all that, the only [...]
The Buffalo Sabres have continued to overhaul their blue line. Following the trades of Bowen Byram and Michael Kesselring, they swung a swap with the Anaheim Ducks, nabbing defenceman Olen Zellweger for prospect Anton Wahlberg and a second round pick, per Elliotte Friedman. Zellweger is an RFA who needs a new contract, and he will [...]
We have reached the big day as the 2026 NHL Entry Draft takes place tonight in Buffalo, and by the time I finished writing this sentence, another top-10 pick was traded. Someone has to draft those players, though, and fantasy managers will want to get a headstart on who those players are, which is where [...]
