Around the NHL: What the latest rumours could mean for the Flames
Trade rumours around the NHL are starting to grow louder. Article content The Stanley Cup will be handed out in the next week or so, the draft is a little over two weeks away and free agency will open soon after that. Article content Article content While the Calgary Flames themselves haven't been involved in any moves just yet, that doesn't mean the rumours that are swirling don't affect them. Article content So let's take a look at some of the chatter from around the league and what it means — if anything — for the Flames: Article content Article content Players like Robertson don't come on the market all that often. He's only 25 years old and has put up 80 points for the past two seasons and had 109 in 2022-23. Article content For a team like the Flames, he'd instantly become their top scorer and would be a cornerstone to build around for the next half-decade. You'd at least want to give the Stars a call if you're Craig Conroy, right? Article content With all of that being said, the price is surely going to be astronomical. Are the Flames really at the point in their retool where they're looking to trade away young assets? Robertson would make them better, sure, but would he turn them into a Stanley Cup contender? Article content It's probably worth mentioning, though, that the Stars are very much in win-now mode. They've lost in the Western Conference final in each of the last three seasons. They could be one of the teams that could use a guy like Rasmus Andersson. So who knows, maybe there's a deal to be done? Article content Article content Article content LeBrun reported that while the Flames are one of the teams that are in the market for a second-line centre, they would prefer someone with more size. Rossi is listed at 5-foot-9. At 23 years old, he definitely fits the age profile of what the Flames have been looking for and after putting up 60 points last season would provide a bit of offensive pop, too. Article content Article content Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on his 32 Thoughts podcast that the Vegas Golden Knights are expecting their veteran blueliner to be out for a big part of next season, and could even miss it entirely. Article content If he's placed on long-term injury reserve, it would free up a considerable amount of salary cap space for the Golden Knights to play with and that could mean they could afford to keep Nicolas Hague.

Kodai Senga leaves with hamstring strain as Mets hang on for 4-3 win to sweep Nats
NEW YORK (AP) — Kodai Senga threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings Thursday before leaving with a hamstring strain in the New York Mets' 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals that completed a three-game sweep. Senga (7-3) allowed one hit and one walk before getting hurt while making a leaping grab of Pete Alonso's high throw on CJ Abrams' grounder between first and second. Senga touched the bag with his right foot on the way down but stumbled upon landing and reached for the back of his right leg. He hopped a couple of steps before tumbling to the ground. After being surrounded by a trainer, his interpreter, manager Carlos Mendoza and teammates, Senga walked off the field under his own power. He lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.47, but will be placed on the injured list. Jeff McNeil stayed hot with a three-run homer in the first for the Mets, who have won six straight to improve to an MLB-best 45-24. Brandon Nimmo homered off the right field foul pole in the fifth. The Nationals snapped a 22-inning scoreless streak by rallying for three runs in the ninth, when Luis García Jr. and Josh Bell hit RBI singles and García scored on a wild pitch before Edwin Díaz got José Tena and Keibert Ruiz to ground out to earn his 15th save. Washington's Michael Soroka (3-4) gave up all four runs and struck out five in five innings. Key moment Díaz needed just two pitches to retire Tena and Ruiz following his run-scoring wild pitch.
