Because Patrik Laine has spent most of season on IR, his next contract can be incentive laden and bonus structured (low base salary) which one would think would be appealing to his next team. But first he needs a fresh start. Let’s see if a team takes him before the deadline for a test drive (1/2)

It wasn't an easy decision, but Colton Parayko decided not to waive his NTC for a trade to Buffalo.
Trade with Sabres will not be happening.

As one team exec said to me this morning, it's definitely a sellers' market right now. Prices are sky high for the buyers. Not an over abundance of players available, either.

Love the Nicolas Roy fit in Colorado and I think Toronto got a solid return.

I wouldn't label the Capitals as pure sellers despite the Dowd trade to Vegas. My understanding is that Washington is trying to do a bit of both, buying and selling, over the next 27 hours or so. Easier said than done but let's see where the Caps end up tomorrow.

On the Steven Stamkos front, my understanding is there's 3-4 teams in the East that have reached out to Nashville over the last few days. I don't think there's a firm trade offer on the table yet, but teams inquiring to be sure.

Dowd, 35, has one more year on his deal next season at a $3 million cap hit. A respected leader in Washington.

digest the decision at hand. That's not to say it couldn't go to tomorrow, but I would imagine leaving some wiggle room time-wise for that decision would be part of things here. (2/2)

The trade deadline isn't until tomorrow but today feels mighty important on the Robert Thomas trade watch. Because as a reminder, as per his full no-trade clause, any deal needs his blessing. As we've seen with other players with those clauses this past week, a player needs time sometimes to (1/2)

remains well positioned to take another wing at Robert Thomas. Or look at something else. (2/2)

As good a haul by the Flames for MacKenzie Weegar as it was, two things can both be true at once, it didn’t put a dent in Utah’s very top assets. The Mammoth didn’t trade away any of their top-5 prospects and still have their first-round picks for this year and next. Which is to say, Utah (1/2)

The other player going to Edmonton is Colton Dach

Blackhawks would be retaining 50 percent on Dickinson in this trade. There’s also another player going to Edmonton.

Tyler Myers and Jamie Benn were junior teammates in WHL Kelowna in 2007-08 and 2008-09, so reunited all these years later.

Details: Tyler Myers to Dallas for a 2nd Rd pick in '27 and a 4th RD pick in '29.
Plus Vancouver is retaining 50 percent on remainder of Myers contract which makes him a $1.5-million player this year and next.
