NHL Trade Rumors

Trade and Free Agency Rumors from Around the Hockey World

  • Friedman: Dvorak a Name to Watch

    On today’s edition of 31 Thoughts: The Podcast (35:00), Elliotte Friedman says that he believes there’s a lot of teams that like Christian Dvorak and that he’s a name that’s come up a ton.

    He mentions the Flames, Wild, Canadiens, Sharks and Rangers as teams that have come up in connection to Dvorak.

    Dvorak, 25, is signed for four more seasons on his contract at a cap hit of $4.45 million. He had 17 goals and 14 assists in 56 games with the Coyotes last season.

  • Report: Rangers Close to Deal with Shesterkin

    The Rangers are close to a new contract with Igor Shesterkin worth between $5.75 and 6 million annually, reports Vince Mercogliano.

    Shesterkin is two years away from unrestricted free agent eligibility so at that price range one would have to believe they’re looking at least a five or six year deal.

    Shesterkin has played 47 NHL games, sporting a 2.59 GAA and a 0.921 SV%.

  • Fleury to Play for Blackhawks

    Marc-Andre Fleury has let the Blackhawks know that he will play for them in the upcoming season.

    Fleury’s agent Allan Walsh reported that Fleury would take some time with his family to discuss his future after getting traded to Chicago, as he did not want to leave Vegas.

    There were some rumors that a trade would be worked out with Pittsburgh if Fleury didn’t want to report to Chicago, but it was always Chicago’s intentions to have Fleury play for them.

  • Hurricanes Sign Derek Stepan

    The Carolina Hurricanes have signed Derek Stepan, reports Jackie Spiegel.

    Stepan, 31, had a goal and 5 assists in 20 games for the Senators last season.

    Stepan brings playoff experience to the Hurricanes, as he’s played 105 playoff games in his career.

  • Red Wings Re-Sign Tyler Bertuzzi

    The Detroit Red Wings have re-signed Tyler Bertuzzi to a two-year deal.

    Tyler Bertuzzi had back surgery earlier this off-season. He had 5 goals and 2 assists in 9 games from the Red Wings last season.

  • Leafs Sign Ondrej Kase

    The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Ondrej Kase to a one-year deal.

    Kase is an effective player when healthy, but that’s not been a common occurrence recently. He played only 3 games with the Bruins in 2020-21.

    Kase will be a RFA after this season.

  • David Krejci Going to Europe

    The Bruins have released a statement from David Krejci that says he’s going to return to the Czech Republic to continue his hockey career.

    Krejci played 14 seasons with the Bruins.

  • Blue Jackets Sign Zach Werenski

    The Columbus Blue Jackets have re-signed Zach Werenski to a six-year contract.

    Werenski, like the recently-departed Seth Jones, had been rumored to be less than eager to re-sign in Columbus long-term. Perhaps that’s reflected in the price of the contract. Werenski could have walked as a UFA after the 2022-23 season.

    The contract covers one RFA year and five UFA years.
