NHL News and Rumors

Jack Eichel has STILL not undergone neck surgery making it very unlikely for him to be medically cleared for the regular season. - David Pagnotta

As of now, the Sabres would prefer to send Jack Eichel out west. - David Pagnotta

Ducks, Golden Kknights, Rangers, Blue Jackets, Flames all linked to Eichel - David Pagnotta

There has been no discussion at the NHL level about a team in Houston. I do not believe the NHL wants to abandon Arizona market. - Stars CEO Brad Alberts/Saad Yousuf

Quinton Byfield has a foot injury (day-to-day) - John Haven

Bozak is skating with Blues players in St.Louis. Blues would like to keep him. They have to move Tarasenko to clear cap space - Jeremy Rutherford

Edmonton is interested in Jake DeBrusk. Calagary is too (not as much as Edmonton). - Fluto Shinzawa

For now, the Starts don't appear to have interest in moving one of their goalies - Mike Heika

Scott Mayfield is a trade target for the Blues - Jeremy Rutherford

The likelihood of the Blackhawks trading Strome depends on the availability of Toews - Ben Pope


Oh just great. Nill is back to ruining the Stars yet again, this man can never do anything great.

Red Wings fans are nuts I swear. Look at the comments at your own risk.


They're literally the worst, you could give them McDavid for Larkin and Fabbri and a first and they'd refuse, since «StEvIe IsN't TrAdInG pIcKs», which ahs been completely debunked by the acquisition of Leddy (and DET fans said it would require assets for them to take him on) and Nedeljkovic.

It would be like if Florida would send down Knight. You don’t send your best f*cking goalie in the AHL, the only profits from that would be an instant Calder cup win.

Weird that Brassard went to Philly when they got no space for him. Surprised he didnt go to a team needing a 3c. Montreal or Minnesota comes to mind

Sabres aren’t trading Eichel at this point, he’d miss part of the season and his value in their eyes is probably too high
Makes sense, Bettman is too stubborn and Arizona is still a decent market
Really, Dallas has to move a goalie unless they want to run 3 G
Not sure why Lou would trade Mayfield

He's washed at center and he probably knows it. He's reuniting with the coach he worked best under.

Lidstrom and Chelios on defense is just unfair. Good luck scoring against that.

And this offense is just gross

Oh, and the Dominator

Then the isles would have to replace two defenseman. I’m not opposed to trading Mayfield but this late in the offseason it makes no sense.

Alright I need opinions on this mock trade.

Dallas gets: JVR 50% retained

Flyers gets: 2022 Dallas 2nd round pick and JVR’s contract completely off the books.

Buffalo gets: 2022 Dallas 3rd round pick, they retained half of JVR’s contract for the next two years.

Why this works for Buffalo?

They’re a team that won’t use the cap too much and is still a long way from competing so they get a 3rd round pick to help the re-build for 3.5 million of cap for the next 2 years. They also have 3 out of 3 retention spots open and the only two players that could get more than a 3rd retained are Olofsson and Miller, so that leaves one spot remaining which would be JVR.

Why this works for the Flyers?

They’ll need to get JVR’s contract off of the books for next year since they have Couturier, Giroux, Risto and Farabee to re-sign. The more they wait the more his value decreases so in return they get his whole contract off the books for a 2nd round pick which they could use to acquire a rental to replace JVR if they want to complete.

Why this works for Dallas?

They get their top 9 experienced scoring winger who’s affordable for the next few years for the same price they paid for Zucc who was 500k cheaper and was on a 66 point pace while JVR was on a 62 point pace, JVR has the extra year so that compensates it do that it makes them equal.

I need your guys opinions because as a Stars fan I can maybe be a little bit bias.
