NHL Rumour Report: Trade Deadline Rumours (UPDATED)


Follow along for the latest NHL trade deadline rumour updates!



Monday 4:40 PM ET: Things starting to wind down on trade deadline day. Still a few trades trickling through and plenty more rumours to track. Next big day on the schedule is free agency in July, but the rumour mill never stops as teams (particularly non-playoff teams) pivot into offseason mode. Stay tuned! 

Monday 4:20 PM ET: Reports confirming that Jake DeBrusk's trade request still stands after signing a 2 year extension. Couldn't find a fit before the deadline. He'll be moved in the offseason most likely.

Monday 4:15 PM ET: Sounds like a bunch of trades in the queue. A bunch of complicated trades holding everything up.

Monday 2:20 PM ET: Vegas looking to move out money still. Reilly Smith, Evgenii Dadonov are possibilities. Looking for goalie depth.

Monday 2:20 PM ET: Leafs exploring goalie trade market.

Monday 1:15 PM ET: Rickard Rakell bidding war continues to heat up. This could be the Avs backup plan if they lose out on Copp, but the Penguins, Bruins and Rangers are also kicking tires. The Kings could be interested as well, but there's some doubt about Anaheim dealing him to a divisional rival, even in a rental market situation.

Monday 12:25 PM ET: Andrew Copp watch is on. Avalanche still the team to beat, but the Bruins and Rangers are among the teams in the mix.

Monday 12:10 PM ET: I'm still not convinced Jake DeBrusk is going to be a Bruin beyond 3 pm. Bruins open to moving him, but could keep him for a playoff drive and trade him in the offseason.

Monday 12:00 PM ET: Things going cold in Vancouver? Some chatter that big trade chips like Conor Garland and Brock Boeser may be deals that wait until the offseason. Teams continue to kick tires on Garland.

Monday 11:30 AM ET: Keep an eye on Vegas forward Reilly Smith. They've tried to avoid trading him for months, but they may need to use his cap space to shore up a few needs.

Monday 11:25 AM ET: Wild win the Fleury Derby, and now they are rumoured to be trading goalie Kaapo Kahkonen.

Monday 10:25 AM ET: Though he's more likely an offseason move, keep an eye out for Jeff Petry. Dallas and Philadelphia are possibilities, but there's no urgency here.

Monday 9:55 AM ET: The most likely big name Canucks forward on the move today continues to be Conor Garland. Pittsburgh, Boston and LA are three teams to watch.

Monday 9:50 AM ET: How's this for a darkhorse trade candidate: Ducks goalie John Gibson. There's always rumours around him and he's welcome to a change of scenery. Is this the year he finally moves?

Monday 8:45 AM ET: Jets holding out for a first rounder for Andrew Copp. He's definitely moving, but will a team like the Bruins or Avalanche pay up?

Monday 8:15 AM ET: The key in a Marc-Andre Fleury trade happening is the price dropping. Will it happen, and does Fleury actually want to move? Still some buzz around the Leafs. The Capitals are OUT on Fleury. Wild as a darkhorse?

Monday 8:10 AM ET: Colin White is generating a bit of trade buzz out of Ottawa. He's had a rough go and a bad contract, but perhaps this is a bad contract swap with another team situation.

Monday 8:00 AM ET: DEADLINE DAY. Buckle up!

------------------------------

Sunday 11:35 PM ET: Habs forward Artturi Lehkonen generating a lot of trade buzz today, but asking price is very high - includes a 1st round pick. The Kings and Rangers are possibilities.

Sunday 11:25 PM ET: Viktor Olofsson trade sounding unlikely before tomorrow, but the Sabres are open to offers. Could be an offseason deal instead.

Sunday 11:05 PM ET: Still keeping a close eye on Tyler Bertuzzi. Still lots of smoke that 'something is up' with Bertuzzi and the Red Wings. But GM Steve Yzerman is notoriously good at keeping trade rumblings from getting out.

Sunday 11:00 PM ET: The big wildcard tomorrow is Jakob Chychrun. The Coyotes are still listening, but this could spill over into the offseason if they don't get blown away by an offer. Kings, Blue Jackets, Blues and Hurricanes could figure heavily into things tomorrow.

Sunday 10:25 PM ET: Add Dallas to the Nick Leddy mix. Pittsburgh is also rumoured.

Sunday 10:20 PM ET: With the Jets looking like sellers, there's a bit of buzz around pending UFA center Paul Stastny. Boston could be a fit.

- Sunday 10:00 PM ET: The Kraken aren't done after dealing Mark Giordano. Joonas Donskoi, Jeremy Lauzon and Carson Soucy all likely to move.


- Sunday 9:10 PM ET: Lots of buzz around the Blue Jackets. Fielding offers on Max Domi and Joonas Korpisalo. As a darkhorse trade candidate, Vladislav Gavrikov is generating some interest, but Columbus is only doing that for a big haul similar to the return for Ben Chiarot.

- Sunday 7:00 PM ET: The Bruins are trying to trade Jake DeBrusk. Although many wondered if Boston would hold onto him for a playoff run, it sounds like they are trying to get something done before the deadline. No guarantees, but with the forward market a little thin Boston is looking to capitalize.

- Sunday 6:10 PM ET: Still no deal between Nick Paul and the Sens, and there' a pretty good chance that the Sens starting shopping him soon. The Rangers, Oilers, Bruins, and Avalanche are among the interested teams.

- Sunday 6:05 PM ET: The Mark Giordano trade to Toronto is now complete. Word around the league is that this was very much a family decision; Giordano is from the area. And if it works out in Toronto, there's mutual interest in a short term extension.

- Sunday 4:15 PM ET: The Fleury situation is fairly fluid, but right now it doesn't feel like he's getting traded. Minnesota and Washington are waiting to hear if Fleury is willing to join either teas - but it's not looking likely. A team like Pittsburgh or Vegas could probably convince him to move, but neither of those scenarios seem likely at this point.

- Sunday 3:50 PM ET: Max Domi trade traction is picking up. Rangers, Capitals, Avalanche, Bruins in contention.

- Sunday 2:00 PM ET: The Coyotes are expected to trade Johan Larsson before the deadline.

Sunday 1:40 PM ET: Andy Greene and Cal Clutterbuck both sitting tonight for the Isles, and both likely traded before the deadline.

- Sunday 1:30 PM ET: James Reimer trade buzz is picking up steam. The veteran Sharks netminder has another year left on his deal. The Leafs had interest, but I don't think they're the frontrunner/most interested team. Capitals, Golden Knights, Wild and Devils among teams shopping for goalies.

- Sunday 1:20 PM ET:  Leafs defenseman Travis Dermott is all but guaranteed to move before the deadline. The Canucks are one of the rumoured landing spots. Toronto has kicked tires on Tyler Motte, Luke Schenn and Jaroslav Halak. Is there a fit?

- Sunday 1:05 PM ET: The Tyler Bertuzzi rumblings continue to swirl. Teams called on him last trade deadline as well. Bertuzzi himself has denied wanting out. Teams, such as the Penguins, are calling anyways.
