NHL Rumor Mill – March 16, 2026

Check out the recent Canucks speculation in today’s NHL Rumor Mill.

THE HOCKEY NEWS: Jim Parsons wondered what the future holds for Brock Boeser with the rebuilding Vancouver Canucks.

Boeser is in the first season of a seven-year contract. Meanwhile, questions remain about the Canucks’ current core players. Leading up to the trade deadline, he stated that he is committed to the club and its direction, adding that he hopes to play a leadership role.

The 29-year-old winger was the subject of some speculation leading up to the trade deadline, which he laughingly downplayed. Nevertheless, Parsons noted that there was rumored interest from the New York Islanders and Boston Bruins amid reports he might waive his no-movement clause for the right fit.

Parsons claimed the Canucks weren’t aggressively shopping Boeser, but suggests their interest in keeping the veteran winger long-term isn’t as certain as his. They might consider moving him worthwhile if they get offers that could fetch a solid return.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Boeser’s $7.25 million annual average value for the next six seasons isn’t as difficult to move as teammate Elias Pettersson’s $11.6 million over the same period. However, the latter is two years younger than Boeser and has shown elite offensive skill.

Like Pettersson, Boeser’s no-movement clause gives him full control over his situation. There’s always a possibility he could agree to a trade, but it’s a slim one right now.

DONNIE & DHALI: CHEK-TV’s Rick Dhaliwal recently wondered why the Canucks didn’t move Teddy Blueger at the March 6 trade deadline.

Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin claimed he received no offers for the 31-year-old checking-line center. However, Dhaliwal expressed skepticism, noting that they had found a trade partner for David Kampf, who went unclaimed on waivers earlier this season and spent some time in the minors. He doubted that no one was interested in Blueger, who has Stanley Cup experience and is a better center than Kampf.

Dhaliwal believes the Canucks hope to re-sign Blueger, who is eligible for unrestricted free-agent status on July 1. However, it’s believed he’s interested in staying in Vancouver.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: As Dhaliwal observed, the Canucks need depth at center. Losing Blueger will only weaken them at that position. He won’t be an expensive re-signing for them.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – March 16, 2026

Oilers star Leon Draisaitl injured against the Predators, the Ducks take over first place in the Pacific Division, the Kraken regain the final Western wild-card spot, and more in today’s NHL Morning Coffee Headlines.

NHL.COM: The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Nashville Predators 3-1, but lost forward Leon Draisaitl as he left the game after the first period with an apparent injury. Draisaitl opened the scoring, and Connor McDavid collected three assists for the 33-26-9 Oilers, who hold third place in the Pacific Division with 75 points. Fedor Svechkov replied for the 29-28-9 Predators (67 points), who are four points out of the final Western Conference wild-card berth.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Draisaitl’s injury didn’t seem too bad, and he’s not expected to be sidelined long term. Meanwhile, McDavid sits atop the NHL scoring race with 114 points.

McDavid also called out the league over the wrist-slap suspension handed down to Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas for injuring Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews. While he understands that the department of player safety has a difficult job, he felt that the level of frustration around the league about the suspension process suggests there’s room for improvement.

Anaheim Ducks forwards Leo Carlsson and Troy Terry each had three points as their club overcame a 3-2 deficit for a 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. Cutter Gauthier tallied the winning goal for the Ducks (37-27-3), as they regained first place in the Pacific Division with 77 points. Nick Suzuki had a goal and an assist for the 36-20-10 Canadiens, who cling to third place in the Atlantic Division with 82 points.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Canadiens winger Cole Caufield scored his 39th goal of the season. He’s second to Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche, who leads all goal scorers this season with 44. Meanwhile, Canadiens forward Kirby Dach left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury. There was no word postgame regarding his condition.

Ducks center Mason McTavish was a healthy scratch from this game. He had two assists in his last 12 games.

The Seattle Kraken regained the final Western wild-card spot (71 points) with a 6-2 victory over the Florida Panthers. Kaapo Kakko had a goal and two assists while Bobby McMann was among five other Kraken players with a goal and an assist as they improved their record to 32-27-9. Vinnie Hinostroza and Eetu Luostarinen scored for the 33-30-3 Panthers.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: McMann had three goals and two assists for five points in his first two games with the Kraken. Meanwhile, the Panthers played without Sam Reinhart, who is sitting out their current four-game road trip recovering from an undisclosed injury.

Ottawa Senators winger Drake Batherson tallied twice, including the game-winner, in a 7-4 win over the San Jose Sharks. Brady Tkachuk, Fabian Zetterlund, and Warren Foegele each had a goal and an assist for the 34-23-9 Senators (77 points), who are three points behind the Detroit Red Wings for the final Eastern Conference wild-card berth. Tyler Toffoli and Mario Ferraro each had a goal and an assist for the Sharks (32-27-6), as they slipped one point behind the Kraken.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Sharks played without forward Alex Wennberg, who is nursing an upper-body injury.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bo Groulx scored twice for his first multipoint NHL game in a 4-2 upset of the Minnesota Wild. Anthony Stolarz kicked out 36 shots for the 29-27-12 Maple Leafs. Vladimir Tarasenko scored both goals for the Wild (38-18-12), who sit third in the Central Division with 88 points.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Before the game, the Maple Leafs signed goaltender Artur Akhtyamov to a three-year, $2.7 million contract extension.

The Winnipeg Jets kept their playoff hopes alive with a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. Haydn Fleury had a goal and an assist while Eric Comrie made 29 saves for the 28-28-10 Jets (66 points), who are five points behind the Kraken. Dalibor Dvorsky and Dylan Holloway scored for the 27-30-10 Blues.

Sunday NHL Rumor Roundup – March 15, 2026

Check out the latest on the future of Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews and the latest Blues speculation in the Sunday NHL Rumor Roundup.

QUESTIONS ARISE ABOUT AUSTON MATTHEWS’ FUTURE WITH THE MAPLE LEAFS

SPORTSNET: Elliotte Friedman reports Auston Matthews’ season-ending knee injury could “start the clock” on how the 29-year-old Maple Leafs captain feels about things in Toronto from the time the two sides touched base in February about his future.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Matthews suffered a season-ending knee injury on Thursday from a knee-on-knee hit by Radko Gudas of the Anaheim Ducks. A repeat offender, Gudas received what amounted to a slap on the wrist from the league in the form of a five-game suspension.

Friedman believes Matthews will now have more time to think about his situation. He expects the two sides to meet over the next couple of months to determine how everyone feels about Matthews’ overall future in Toronto.

The lack of reaction to Gudas’ hit on Matthews from the latter’s teammates drew plenty of criticism in Leafs Nation. Friedman believes that will have ramifications for the franchise’s future direction.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Matthews is signed through 2027-28. Whatever the Leafs do this summer will determine if he’s still with the franchise before that contract expires.

Matthews’ injury represents the lowest point in what’s been a miserable season for the Maple Leafs. Change is expected in the front office and behind the bench, and there could be more trades. However, their captain’s future will be the biggest question hanging over this team in the offseason.

THE LATEST BLUES MUSINGS

THE ATHLETIC: Jeremy Rutherford recently examined how a Robert Thomas trade could affect the growth of the St. Louis Blues’ young players.

The Blues entertained trade offers for the 26-year-old center before the March 6 deadline. He is signed through 2030-31 with an average annual value of $8.125 million and a full no-trade clause.

Rutherford expects the Blues could revisit the situation in the offseason, when they could find a suitable offer and eventually ask Thomas to waive his NTC. However, he wondered what effect moving Thomas might have on young wingers Dylan Holloway and Jimmy Snuggerud, whose upward development is crucial for the club’s future.

DAILY FACEOFF: Jeff Marek and Steve Peters recently discussed what the Blues’ plans might be for the offseason.

Marek believes a lot depends on what strides their young players make. How quickly promising Dalibor Dvorsky becomes a legitimate second-line center will determine a lot of what management does in the offseason. He also wondered what would happen to Pius Suter if Dvorsky proves himself as a top-six forward.

Jordan Kyrou was among the Blues believed to be available. Marek pointed out that there had been talk linking him to the New York Islanders. Marek wondered if the Washington Capitals might be interested.

The Blues still require a right-shot defenseman. He thinks the Montreal Canadiens would’ve made sense for any type of Robert Thomas deal, because they have the right-shot blueliners that the Blues would covet.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Doug Armstrong will be handing over the general manager role to assistant Alex Steen at the end of this season, though he’ll remain as president of hockey operations. Armstrong will have input, but it will be Steen’s show.

Thomas said he remains committed to the Blues, that he was never approached about waiving his no-trade clause, and doesn’t want to be moved. He has full control over this situation. Management can continue listening to offers, but we don’t know what it will take to convince Thomas to waive his clause.

Kyrou is in the same situation as Thomas. He’s in the first season of his eight-year contract with the same AAV and a full NTC.

Nevertheless, we can expect to hear their names floating around in the offseason rumor mill. The same applied to goaltender Jordan Binnington, who has a year left on his contract with a 12-team no-trade list.

NHL Rumor Mill – March 14, 2026

Predators forward Steven Stamkos drew plenty of interest at the trade deadline, plus the latest Rangers speculation in today’s NHL Rumor Mill.

TEAMS CALLED ABOUT STEVEN STAMKOS AT THE TRADE DEADLINE

THE TENNESSEAN: Alex Daugherty reported Tuesday that Nashville Predators general manager Barry Trotz indicated he received “a lot of calls” about Steven Stamkos before last week’s trade deadline.

Trotz cited Stamkos’ performance as the reason why the 36-year-old forward garnered plenty of interest in the trade market. “He’s hot, and he’s got to stay hot because we’re in a playoff race,” Trotz said.

Stamkos had a slow start to this season, but he picked up his production in December. As of March 13, he leads the Predators with 31 goals, sitting 17th in the league.

Trotz said he turned down some “really good offers” for Stamkos. However, the veteran forward has a full no-movement clause in his contract, and told reporters before the trade deadline that he didn’t intend to waive it.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Stamkos publicly stated twice that he wouldn’t waive his NMC, but that didn’t stop teams from making inquiries. He could become the subject of offseason trade rumors, especially if Trotz’s successor decides to take a more aggressive approach to retooling their roster.

THE LATEST RANGERS SPECULATION

THE ATHLETIC: Vincent Z. Mercogliano believes that securing a substantial trade package for Vincent Trocheck will remain a priority for the New York Rangers. They attempted to move the 32-year-old center before the trade deadline, but couldn’t find any suitable offers.

Mercogliano cited sources from around the league claiming GM Chris Drury sought a forward with top-six potential as the centerpiece of the deal. Draft picks will also likely be part of a Trocheck trade, but the bigger concern is adding players who can have a more immediate impact on the roster.

Drury was reportedly negotiating with playoff teams like the Minnesota Wild, Carolina Hurricanes, and Boston Bruins. However, they were reluctant to part with any active roster players of consequence. That could be less of a barrier in the offseason.

Trocheck carries a 12-team no-trade list for this season. On July 1, it drops to 10 teams.

Mercogliano also considers defenseman Braden Schneider as a player to watch this summer. Trade discussions took place before last Friday’s deadline and could continue in the offseason.

The Rangers will continue to explore the trade value of winger Alexis Lafreniere, but they’re hesitant to sell low on the 2020 first-overall pick. He’s struggled over the past couple of seasons, but his performance has improved lately.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Unless one of the Rangers’ bigger stars asks to be moved, Trocheck remains their best trade chip. Some observers believe they missed a golden opportunity to move him at the trade deadline while his value is high. However, a solid performance over the remainder of this season should ensure that he remains a valuable trade commodity.

Schneider seems more likely to move this summer than Lafreniere. The latter’s improved performance in recent weeks suggests the 24-year-old winger is worth retaining as part of their rebuild.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – March 14, 2026

The Kings defeat the Islanders, the Blues upset the Oilers, Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews is done for the season as Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas is suspended, and more in today’s NHL Morning Coffee Headlines.

RECAPS OF FRIDAY’S GAMES

NHL.COM: Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar scored to move within one point of Marcel Dionne’s franchise points record in a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders. Trevor Moore and Adrian Kempe also scored, and Darcy Kuemper stopped 21 shots for the 27-23-15 Kings, who moved into the final Western Conference wild-card berth with 69 points. Emil Heineman scored both goals for the 37-24-5 Islanders, who remain in third place in the Metropolitan Division with 79 points.

Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar (NHL Images).

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Dionne has 1,307 regular-season points while Kopitar has 1,306. Kopitar leads the franchise with 1,504 regular-season games and 858 assists. With 17 games left in the regular season, Kopitar has plenty of time to set the Kings’ points record.

The St. Louis Blues overcame a 2-0 deficit to upset the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on an overtime goal by Robert Thomas. Cam Fowler had a goal and an assist while Joel Hofer kicked out 36 shots for the 27-29-10 Blues, who are 6-0-1 in their last seven contests. Kasperi Kapanen and Connor McDavid replied for the Oilers (32-26-9), who sit third in the Pacific Division with 73 points.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins missed this game for personal reasons. The Oilers placed Colton Dach on long-term injury reserve.

HEADLINES

TORONTO SUN: Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews will miss the remainder of this season with a Grade 3 tear of his medial collateral ligament in his left knee, the result of a knee-on-knee hit by Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas on Thursday.

The NHL’s department of player safety suspended Gudas for five games.

THE ATHLETIC: Matthews’ agent, Judd Moldaver, called Gudas’ suspension “laughable and preposterous.”

“This decision results in a further loss of confidence in the disciplinary process for all players,” Moldaver said. “Players and fans deserve better. The player safety department should be suspended.”

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Moldaver is correct. Gudas went out of his way to deliberately injure an opponent. He had been suspended four times before this incident, and he received a slap on the wrist for ending Matthews’ season.

The so-called “department of player safety” has been a joke for years. Players like Gudas contribute nothing to the league. He and his ilk are an embarrassment, and have no place in a supposedly professional league.

Sadly, this is just more of the same from a league with a “player safety” department that lets perpetrators off lightly for deliberately injuring opponents.

NHL.COM: The Ottawa Senators will face the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2026 NHL Global Series in Germany. The two-game regular-season series will be played in Dusseldorf on Dec. 18 and Dec. 20.

THE DENVER POST: Colorado Avalanche defenseman Brent Burns tied Keith Yandle for the second-most consecutive games with 989. Burns, 41, reached that mark during Thursday’s game against the Seattle Kraken.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Phil Kessel holds the NHL Ironman record with 1,064 regular-season games.

BUFFALO HOCKEY BEAT: Sabres winger Alex Tuch (day-to-day, lower-body injury) could return for Saturday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, defenseman Mattias Samuelsson could miss that game with an undisclosed injury.

MONTREAL HOCKEY NOW: The Canadiens made a minor-league trade that will have implications for their goaltending. On Friday, they acquired goaltender Hunter Shepard and forward Jake Chiasson from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Riley Kidney.

Shepard will be reporting to the Canadiens’ AHL affiliate in Laval. That means that recently recalled goalie Jacob Fowler will likely remain with the Habs for the rest of this season.

RATINGS.COM: Speaking of Fowler, he had an interview with Marco D’Amico before the Canadiens recalled him. The 21-year-old netminder spoke about his 10-game tenure with the Habs earlier this season and was hoping to return to the club as soon as he could.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: With Samuel Montembeault struggling and no help coming from the trade market, the Canadiens need someone reliable to share the goaltending duties with Jakub Dobes. Fowler played well in his return on Thursday with a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.

SAN JOSE HOCKEY NOW: The San Jose Sharks recalled goaltender Laurent Brossoit from their AHL affiliate. Starter Yaroslav Askarov suffered a lower-body injury before Thursday’s game against the Boston Bruins. The injury isn’t considered serious or long-term, but it’s uncertain if he’ll be ready to return for Saturday’s game against the Canadiens or Sunday’s matchup with the Ottawa Senators.

THE MERCURY NEWS: Speaking of the Sharks, they signed forward Ty Dellandrea to a two-year, $3.25 million extension.
