NHL Rumour Report - NHL Trade Rumours and Speculation

Hall & Hamonic rumours keep coming, Johansson speculation + more

The Taylor Hall for Travis Hamonic rumours won't die down.

Hamonic requested a trade from the Islanders early on in the regular season, but recently recanted on his demand. Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped teams in need of defense from calling, and Hamonic's desire to be traded to Western Canada remains strong. The Oilers, who have long been rumoured a frontrunner for Hamonic, are believed to have offered up packages that include Jordan Eberle, high picks and perhaps Oscar Klefbom. Adding Hall into the mix would certainly be of interest to a team that looks shallow up front.

Why haven't there been more blockbuster trades?

Another quick update as we get going on day 2 of the 2016 NHL draft.

Bummed out there haven't been more trades? Last year 16 moves were made between June 26th and July 1st. They're coming, folks.

Just a quick late night update as we enter the UFA interview period.

A quick update the night before the 2016 NHL entry draft. Just 24 hours left...

Lots of rumours involving Taylor Hall surfacing the last few days...we have known for a few months that the Oilers would consider trading anybody not named McDavid to improve their squad, so this isn't totally out of left field. The Jordan Eberle market is rumoured to be fairly quiet, while the Oilers are taking their time before finding a trade partner for Nail Yakupov. They're also quietly looking to dump Mark Fayne's salary.

The clock is ticking. Here's Part III of the contenders for the top pending UFAs.

Don't forget to check out Part I and Part II if you haven't already.
