Ducks' Dumoulin Headed to Devils for Second-Round Pick, Prospect
The Ducks started their trade deadline fire sale when sending veteran defenceman Brian Dumoulin to the New Jersey Devils for a second-round pick and Swedish prospect Herman Traff, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
This would be the exact time to take the Ducks under for regular season points at 78.5 with -105 odds and makes them to miss the playoffs an easy future parlay add.
Dumoulin, 33, is a defensive defenceman that has excelled in his role, winning a pair of Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017. He has since been a reliable blueliner that has been able to plug in wherever he is needed. New Jersey will be his fourth career stop after playing for the Ducks and Kraken over the last two seasons.

Maple Leafs Interested in Rival All-Star Amid Mitch Marner Uncertainty
Maple Leafs Interested in Rival All-Star Amid Mitch Marner Uncertainty originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With all the uncertainty involving star forward Mitch Marner, the Toronto Maple Leafs' front office will need to get creative to replace his services. Marner is expected to leave the team via free agency this summer, and in doing so, he would create a massive hole in the lineup. Advertisement The Toronto roster could look very different next season following another early playoff exit. But the front office is still determined to put together a strong team that can compete for a Stanley Cup. With Marner likely out, the Maple Leafs will need to strike quickly to build a strong roster. But it seems that they could be looking at a rival All-Star to fill the void. According to NHL insider Arthur Staple of The Athletic, the Maple Leafs could be targeting Mika Zibanejad of the New York Rangers. Adding Zibanejad to the mix could be a great way to replace the production of Marner in the lineup. The veteran center has scored at least 20 goals in eight straight seasons, and he could add a major boost to this offensive attack. Advertisement Last season, Zibanejad scored 20 goals and 42 assists for the Rangers. With New York seemingly tearing things down, Zibanejad could be a strong candidate to be moved this summer. New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin (10) and New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad (93) talk to one another during the second period against the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Penner-Imagn Images The biggest downside to adding Zibanejad to the team is his contract. Zibanejad is on the books for five more seasons, with a salary of $8.5 million each year. However, if the Maple Leafs are serious about winning, this could be a smart move for them to consider. Zibanejad has been one of the more consistent players around the NHL in recent years and could help Toronto compete for a title next season.

Stars Predicted to Land Panthers All-Star in Massive Offseason Move
Stars Predicted to Land Panthers All-Star in Massive Offseason Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Florida Panthers continue their quest for a second straight Stanley Cup title, the entire organization is locked in. But the front office also has a small part of its focus on the upcoming offseason. Advertisement Florida is gearing up to have a few key, crucial players hit free agency, with center Sam Bennetter and defenseman Aaron Ekblad being the main ones. The Panthers will likely try to retain both players, but anytime a player hits free agency, anything can happen. Bennett seems more likely to stay with the Panthers, but Ekblad remains a wild card. There have been reports about Florida potentially allowing him to test the market, which could open the chance of him leaving. One team that could make sense for the Panthers' defenseman is the Dallas Stars. Dallas lost in the Western Conference Final once again and could be looking to make a splash this offseason. NHL insider Mark Lazerus of The Athletic linked the two sides together, naming Ekblad as a target for the Stars this summer. Advertisement "Miro Heiskanen is capable of playing on his off side; he's been doing it for years. But the Stars could use a good right-handed shot, and Ekblad fits the bill. He could slot in alongside Thomas Harley or Esa Lindell and give Dallas a terrific top four. But making the money work will be difficult, especially if Jim Nill plans to re-sign Matt Duchene and captain Jamie Benn," Lazerus wrote.

Jim Rassol-Imagn Images Ekblad scored three goals and 30 assists for the Panthers over 56 games this season. While his numbers were a little down, his impact on the team can't be overstated. The veteran has provided a massive boost to the team during the playoffs, scoring four goals and eight assists over 18 games. If he were to sign with the Stars, it could give this team a better chance to finally get over the hump.

Canucks Predicted to Sign 2-Time All-Star to Bolster Roster
Canucks Predicted to Sign 2-Time All-Star to Bolster Roster originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Vancouver Canucks just barely missed the postseason this year, finishing the 2024-25 season in extreme disapointment. Vancouver entered the year with high expectations, but inconsistent play doomed them from the start. Advertisement As the team gets ready for the offseason, the front office will need to make some changes to the roster. This could be bringing in more talent, but addressing the offense has to be a priority if Vanvouncer wants to be more competitive. The Canucks may look at the free agent market, and there should be a few quality players for the team to consider. NHL insider Thomas Drance of The Athletic mentioned Duchene as a target of the Canucks, linking the two sides. "The Canucks can't let perfect become the enemy of good this offseason. Though he's 34 and struggled in the Western Conference final at five-on-five, Duchene remains a versatile, productive top-of-the-lineup player with speed to burn and the ability to contribute at center or on the wing. If he's willing to come north of the 49th parallel, it's hard to come up with a better, realistic fit," Drance wrote. Dallas Stars center Matt Duchene (95) moves the puck against Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (8) durng the first period at Arena. Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Duchene could provide a nice spark to the Canucks, especially after they just barely missed the postseason this season. The veteran was great for the Stars this year and helped them dominate during the year. Advertisement The two-time All-Star showed incredible production with Dallas this year, posting 30 goals and 52 assists for the season. If he could replicate this production with Vancouver, the Canucks could instantly become Stanley Cup contenders.
