NHL Trade Tracker – June 23, 2026
St. Louis Blues trade winger Jordan Kyrou to the Washington Capitals (NHL Images).
The St. Louis Blues trade winger Jordan Kyrou to the Washington Capitals in exchange for forward Connor McMichael, prospect forward Milton Gastrin, and a first-round pick (No. 16) in the 2026 NHL Draft. Kyrou waived his no-trade clause to join the Capitals.
The Ottawa Senators acquire winger William Eklund, forward Kasper Halttunen, and the rights to forward prospect Brandon Svoboda from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for the No. 9 pick in the first round of the 2026 NHL Draft. That pick originally belonged to the Florida Panthers.
The New Jersey Devils traded defenseman Simon Nemec and forward Maxim Tsyplakov to the Calgary Flames for conditional first-round picks in the 2027 and 2028 drafts, a second-round pick in the 2026 draft, and prospect defenseman Etienne Morin. Both conditional picks are top-10 protected.
Out of the three, the Kyrou seems the most interesting for both teams. A lot of trades this week so far using this years 1st rounders thrown about.
3 big trades in the league today following yesterdays blockbuster. Feel like the Ottawa/ SJ trade and the Caps/ Blues trade were solid trades for all 4 teams. Confused the NJ/ Calgary trade in that I thought NJ wanted a young NHL ready top 6 forward instead of the draft choices they got back in the trade for Nemec. Hope the action continues!
I doubt Armstrong will keep 4 first rd picks probably another move or two. I also think Binnington and Parayko get traded. Regardless the Kyrou trade frees up 8 million in cap space.
