Rumour Report: Late night rumour update


Rumoured destinations for the top players available at the trade deadline are starting to emerge.



  • Evander Kane - He's moving. Who gets him is anyone guess, but Calgary, Pittsburgh, Anaheim, Minnesota, Nashville and the New York Islanders are rumoured landing spots.
  • Erik Karlsson - 55/45 he moves before the deadline. Tampa, Vegas, Nashville and San Jose are in the mix. Tampa sounds like the frontrunner, Nashville sound like a longshot. There are multiple teams which nobody seems to be able to pin down yet.
  • Max Pacioretty - It's 50/50. LA seem to be pushing pretty hard, but Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Nashville, Calgary, Florida and Minnesota are in the mix.
  • Patrick Maroon - 90/10. Hard to see him not on the move at this point. St. Louis, Boston, Toronto, Tampa, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and Nashville have all taken a look.
  • Thomas Vanek - 85/15. Vancouver wouldn't mind keeping Vanek, but they'll likely ship him out to a team like Anaheim, or someone who strikes out on the top wingers.




  • Mike Green - 90/10. Unless there's an injury issue, Green is getting traded. Tampa, Toronto, Nashville and Vegas are among the known contenders.
  • Ryan McDonagh - 55/45. Rangers are being coy; may let this go into the summer. Possible landing spots include Tampa, Toronto, Boston, Anaheim, Washington, Florida.
  • For the rest I'll simply list which teams have been connected to certain players; it's not clear how likely they are to move.
  • Luke Glendening - Dallas.
  • Tomas Tatar - Nashville.
  • Josh Leivo - Detroit.



  • Mike Hoffman - St. Louis, Carolina, Boston.
  • Ryan Spooner - Yes, he might get moved again. Carolina, Vancouver, NY Islanders, San Jose, Vegas, New Jersey.
  • Matt Cullen - Pittsburgh.
  • Zack Smith - Calgary.
  • Brock Nelson - Vancouver.
  • Antoine Vermette - Pittsburgh.
  • Jeff Skinner - Arizona, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Calgary, Chicago, Ottawa.
  • Robin Lehner - NY Islanders.
  • Brock Nelson - New Jersey, Vancouver.
  • Cody Ceci - Edmonton, Tampa.
  • JT Miller - Pittsburgh, St. Louis.
  • Chris Tanev - Dallas, Toronto.
  • Slaten Koekkoek - Boston, Ottawa, Vancouver.
  • Sam Bennett - Anaheim.
  • Ryan Hartman - Winnipeg, Edmonton.
  • Nick Bjugstad - Vancouver.
  • Again, I am not saying these players are moving to those teams, or even moving at all. But this is where the rumours lead us.
