Quick Rumor Hits on a Bunch of Players Who Could be on the Move This Offseason

Quick hits on Kypreos’ trade board. There are a lot of players who could be on the move this offseason

Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet: Trade board leading up to the draft, free agency, and the summer.

The Dallas Stars would match any offer sheet in the $12 to $13 million range for Jason Robertson. They aren’t interested in four first-round draft picks. If the Ottawa Senators wanted to offer him an offer sheet, they’d have to get in the $13.5 – $14 range.

Zach Werenski has two years left on his deal, and although his name has come up in speculation, the Columbus Blue Jackets don’t see this as a pressing issue just yet.

The San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Edmonton Oilers are looking for defensemen.

What Will the Carolina Hurricanes Do In Net?

There’s no indication that Connor Hellebuyck has asked for a trade yet.

If the Toronto Maple Leafs were to trade Matthew Knies, someone would have to overpay. Return would need to be two roster players and a draft pick.

Like Knies, the Philadelphia Flyers would need to be blown away with an offer for Owen Tippett.

Despite $9.25 million for four more years, teams are interested in Darnell Nurse. His preference is Philadelphia, but the Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas is looking muscle on D.

The Buffalo Sabres are shopping defenseman Bowen Byram, who could be looking at as high as $12 million on an extension.

Dylan Larkin may be looking to end up in Dallas. GM Steve Yzerman is looking for Larkin to expand his list.

Can the Dallas Stars and Jason Robertson agree on an extension around $12 million or will they look for a big trade package?

The Montreal Canadiens could revisit Jordan Kyrou, and the Penguins are also interested.

It’s not sounding like Morgan Rielly‘s no-movement clause will be an issue.

Re-signing Pavel Dorofeyev may cost the Vegas Golden Knights Tomas Hertl. The Minnesota Wild might have interest in Hertl as a center.

Top Vegas Golden Knights Prospects: Rankings, Analysis & Projections

Jake DeBrusk‘s no-movement clause won’t be an issue.

The Vancouver Canucks would want picks and prospects to Elias Pettersson.

The St. Louis Blues are still looking to move 33-year-old Colton Parayko, who has four years left at $6.5 million.

It’s not known if there will be a market for 36-year-old Jacob Markstrom after a down year and two years left at $6 million.

Will the New Jersey Devils have/want to retain some of Dougie Hamilton‘s $9 million cap hit for two years?

Devils Simon Nemec is offer sheet eligible, but no arbitration rights.

Clearing Adin Hill‘s $6.25 million for five more years may be a priority for the Golden Knights to re-sign Rasmus Andersson and extend Dorofeyev.

The Boston Bruins could move Pavel Zacha if they don’t like what he wants on a contract extension.

The Edmonton Oilers would be interested in Rasmus Ristolainen.

Mason McTavish is drawing interest, including the Senators. The Anaheim Ducks are looking to win. How many picks would they want in return?

The Penguins could look to move Rickard Rakell and Tommy Novak to change things up and shed some salary.

Sabres Jason Zucker ($4.75 million) and Jordan Greenway ($4 million) could be moved as they need cap space.

NHL Rumors: It’s Gone a Little Quiet, Are Things Brewing in the Background?

New York Rangers Alexis Lafreniere has no trade protection for one more season.

The Florida Panthers could use some cap space, and Evan Rodrigues is making $3.02 million on the fourth line.

Will someone finally offer the Rangers a comparable player for Braden Schneider?

Seattle Kraken’s forward Kaapo Kakko had a career high 44 points, but it’s unclear if there is a strong market for him.
