@Canes So many soft fans in this thread. You lost. Soak it in the chin. If you win, you can do what you want.

@FriedgeHNIC Looked offsides to me

@Buccigross #bucciovertimechallenge Benson / Lindholm

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Hearing the #LetsGoOilers are going to have to be intentional towards obtaining a goalie.

Jordan Binnington makes sense, but would come at a price the Oilers are not prepared to pay.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Heating up. Kyle Dubas having a rather long conversation with GM Chris MacFarland.

Can't say for certain, but would we be opposed to #87 in the Mile High?

Stay with us throughout the day to get the latest.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Are the #LeafsForever done? Not to be fooled. There is a lot of chatter around F Matthew Knies.

Whether they're serious or not remains to be determined. Something to passively keep an eye on today as we progress.

Trade Call Pending -

To #LGRW
- D Colton Parakyo

To #STLBlues
-Carter Bear
-2027 3rd

Base of the trade. Moving parts still being worked though.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Post Olympic Gold GM Bill Guerin should be looking to add a piece in a Central Division that will serve as a gauntlet. My sources tells me #MNWild are looking at a lot of different options to make something work.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

All eyes on GM Chris Patrick as the #AllCaps have expressed wanted to add by the deadline as well. VAN and WSH seem to have ongoing conversations toward some roster player, more to come.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Busy night on the phones for some GMs as we get the first coffee of the #NHLTradeDeadline. Be sure to tap in as we break all the latest rumors and trades.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Hearing #GoHabsGo have acquired F Ryan Dzingel. Details pending, MTL has finally got their guy.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Trade call pending. #GoSensGo C Claude Giroux is headed to the #MNWild for a 2027 1st, 2028 Cond. 3rd. No retention, pure rental.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

While teams may have been kicking tires on #TimeToHunt G Sergei Bobrovsky the 2x Stanley Cup Winner is staying put in South Florida.

[Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun]

Because Patrik Laine has spent most of season on IR, his next contract can be incentive laden and bonus structured (low base salary) which one would think would be appealing to his next team. But first he needs a fresh start. Let’s see if a team takes him before the deadline for a test drive for rest of season.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Important to note, Johnson scratched a few nights ago. Rumors were then closed. Nothing transpired.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Heard #CBJ is fielding calls on C Kent Johnson. A lot of interest as player and team agree on a fresh start. #NJDevils tried grinding away at a package that included Dougie Hamilton, we will see where they take it.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

Trade call pending. #STLBlues Center Robert Thomas is headed to #LGRW for 2026 1st, 2027 Cond. 1st, Nate Danielson, and Sebastian Cossa.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

@PierreVLeBrun The #FlyTogether Ducks are not quite done yet. Ryan Strome has garnered a lot of interest over the past few hours as the market for centers becomes increasingly volatile. WSH, CBJ, SEA, and TBL around it.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

@PierreVLeBrun With Dowd out, Duhaime, TVR and Carlson fielding the most amount of calls for the Caps. Interesting to see where they end up, among teams kicking tires, the #TimeToHunt Panthers are looking at all options.

[Pierre LeBrun James @InsiderLeBrun]

@PierreVLeBrun @TSN_Sports At this juncture in the night leading up to deadline day, appears that SJ has the advantage. A plethora of pieces they can move.
