San Jose GM Describes Why He Traded William Eklund To Ottawa -
Mike Grier says the Sens specifically targeted Eklund as they began trying to fill the offensive production lost with Brady Tkachuk's exit. San Jose GM Describes Why He Traded William Eklund To Ottawa Steve WarneWed, June 24, 2026 at 6:24 p.m. UTC·2 min readAnytime an NHL team acquires a good, proven young player, it's exciting. But at the same time, it's hard not to wonder, just a little, why his team was willing to give him up. Such is the case for 23-year-old William Eklund, who's just put up two straight seasons with more than 50 points. As a follow-up to the Brady Tkachuk deal, the Senators acquired Eklund from San Jose on Tuesday, along with two prospects, for the rights to the 9th overall selection in this Friday's draft. The young Sharks were banging on the playoff door this season, so you'd think a 23-year-old would fit nicely to move forward with their group. On Wednesday morning, San Jose GM Mike Grier outlined how the trade conversation went with Steve Sta

The Kings Could Trade for Morgan Rielly -
Morgan Rielly is rumored to be traded from Toronto and the Kings are listed as a preferred destination. Now Los Angeles has to determine if they want to go all in on Rielly. The Kings Could Trade for Morgan Rielly (© John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images)Holden DouglasWed, June 24, 2026 at 7:22 p.m. UTC·2 min readMorgan Rielly is rumored to be traded from Toronto and the Kings are listed as a preferred destination. Now Los Angeles has to determine if they want to go all in on Rielly. Throughout most of his career, Rielly was on the first-line pairing and was the number one defenseman for the Maple Leafs. While Rielly has first line experience, he may not be on the first line with the Kings. Last season, Rielly recorded a 35.64 IPP, which was the lowest of his entire career. Despite the regression from Rielly, he could still be beneficial to Los Angeles even if he isn’t on the first line. A second line role would work best for both paries if a trade happened.

2026 NHL Draft Profile | Tyus Sparks, Spokane Chiefs -
Tyus Sparks could have succeeded in any sport. He certainly has the family pedigree. His dad, Nate, won a Grey Cup with the CFL's B.C. Lions, while his mom, Debbie, competed on Boise State's gymnastics team. Sparks' sister, Kiari, is also a decorated gymnast and his older brother, Makhai, plays hockey. Tyus himself dabbled in football as a running back and kicker while also playing soccer. But his hockey dreams were locked in from the moment he strapped on a pair of skates for the first time. "I was in Minnesota with my family," Sparks recalled. "The first time I skated was on a frozen-over basketball court and ever since then, I just loved it." That love has come with big sacrifices. Sparks hails from Meridian, Idaho- a state that has only produced two NHLers and a handful of minor professional players. He got his first shot with the Los Angeles Jr. Kings program, but rather than leave home, Sparks spent three years flying to gam

There has been chatter that Werenski might ponder moving elsewhere as his While notable American players like Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk (and possibly Dylan Larkin) have been on the move recently, many wonder if another high-end U.S.-born player might be the next to be traded. However, his boss isn’t showing his cards. When speaking to the media on Thursday, Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell didn’t give much of an update on what the team’s future plans are with defenseman Zach Werenski. “Two years left [on his contract],” Waddell said. “But just want to get a good sense of where he’s at, and we’ll see how that goes and take it from there.” Waddell mentioned that he does plan to chat with Werenski soon to discuss the path the two sides should take moving forward, but notes that he doesn’t have a particular agenda. “I think for right now, there are matters that should stay internal.

Förra året valdes tre svenskar i förstarundan.

Det gör att vi totalt har 96 valda svenskar i förstarundan genom åren, och har goda chanser att nå tresiffrigt i år. Fyra till fem svenskar tippas nämligen gå i förstarundan i år. Totalt har två svenskar gått som nummer ett, åtta stycken har gått topp-tre, 14 har gått topp-fem och 31 stycken har ropats upp bland de tio första. 16 av dem valdes under ett otroligt framgångsrik 2010-tal för svensk hockey.

But Does It Work? -
Contrary to what it may have felt like while the overwhelming majority of the Blackhawks fan base was crashing out from Tuesday night’s news — this author among them — there is a world where all of this works, where the Bowen Byram trade is not viewed through lenses so tinted with disdain as it is right now. The problem is that it takes an incredible amount of squinting to get to that perspective. Of course it can work! Just about every sports trade can work, in theory. Byram’s arrival makes him the veteran presence on Chicago’s blue line: while he’s just eight days younger than the next candidate — Alex Vlasic — Byram’s appeared in 68 more regular season games and 40 more postseason games while averaging over 20 minutes a night in both categories, an amount of ice time that typically isn’t awarded to subpar defensemen. He’s won a Cup with Colorado. He was a huge part of Buffalo’s

Capitals Land Kyrou and Byram Heads to Chicago as NHL Draft Nears | Daily Faceoff Live -
The NHL offseason continues to deliver blockbuster moves. Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton break down the stunning trade that sends Bowen Byram to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for the 4th overall pick and additional assets. Why did Chicago make this move? Is adding an established young defenseman the right call, or should the Blackhawks have used those assets to find another weapon for Connor Bedard? The guys also revisit Chicago's decision to pass on Ivan Demidov last year and discuss what this latest move says about the organization's long-term vision. Then, attention shifts to Buffalo. With multiple premium assets now in hand, could the Sabres be positioning themselves for another major move? Could Connor Hellebuyck or another star become a target? Later, the Washington Capitals make a splash of their own by acquiring Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues. Was the price worth paying? How valuable is Connor McMichael, and who comes out ahead in this blockbuster? Steven El
