Flames linked to 109-point forward
The Calgary Flames are at a crossroads. On one side, they have plenty of exciting young talent such as Matt Coronato, Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost, Kevin Bahl, and, of course, goaltender Dustin Wolf, who finished second in Calder voting. On the other side, Jonathan Huberdeau still has a $10.5 million cap hit, Nazem Kadri is not getting any younger, and the loaded Western Conference will not make cracking the playoffs for the first time since 2022 any easier. One name to watch for is Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson, who, if the Flames could somehow acquire him, would signal a belief in this current core and set them up for a legitimate run at the postseason. NHL Insider Frank Seravalli believes 'the Flames would love to get their hands, somehow, on Jason Robertson, I think in a deal that could involve Rasmus Andersson.' Andersson, 29 in October, has been a sturdy, right-shot defenseman in Calgary for nearly a decade. However, he also enters 2025-26 on an expiring, $4.55 million deal, and the Flames have historically had trouble recruiting and retaining top talent. Swapping Andersson for Robertson, who is also a pending restricted free agent, makes sense on paper for each team. Dallas needs right-handed defensemen, and Calgary needs elite scorers up front. The Stars probably want to lock up Robertson for the long term, given his 109-point output in 2022-23, followed by consecutive 80-point campaigns from 2023-25. But, money is tight down there, and dumping his $7.75 million owed this year for an immediate contributor like Andersson is not a bad second option. There is no knowing if this sort of deal will actually go down, but each front office has to at least consider the switch.

(AP Photo/Gareth Patterson) WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets locked up forward Gabriel Vilardi on Friday, signing the forward to a six-year contract extension worth US$45 million. The extension comes after Vilardi, who became a restricted free agent on July 1 after completing a two-year, $6.88 million contract, posted career highs in 2024-25 with 27 goals, 34 assists, 61 points and 71 games played. The 25-year-old from Kingston, Ont., added a goal and three assists in nine playoff games after missing the last 11 games of the regular season and first four of the post-season with an upper-body injury. Vilardi also set new single-season bests in power-play goals (12), power-play points (25) and ice time per game (18:08) and matched his six game-winning goals from 2022-23. Vilardi, originally drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round (11th overall) at the 2017 NHL draft, has 175 points (90 goals 85 assists) in 270 career regular-season games and 12 points (three goals, nine assists) in 21 playoff contests for the Kings and Jets. The Jets acquired Vilardi on June 27, 2023, in a trade that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Kings. Internationally, Vilardi won gold with Canada at the 2021 world championships after recording one assist and six penalty minutes in 10 games.

Five big NHL stars' names headline potential shakeups in the upcoming trade as teams look ahead to major roster decisions
NHL-Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (Credit: Getty Images) The trade market is already heating up, and five more National Hockey League players are catching attention ahead of the 2026 deadline. Jason Robertson (Dallas Stars), Mario Ferraro (San Jose Sharks), Cole Sillinger (Columbus Blue Jackets), Braden Schneider (New York Rangers), and Rickard Rakell (Pittsburgh Penguins) are all emerging as potential trade chips as their teams weigh cap space, roster depth, and future planning. Stars' Jason Robertson Pots Trio Of Goals For Natural Hat Trick vs. Oilers Jason Robertson's future with the Dallas Stars is uncertain Despite being a cornerstone of the Dallas Stars' offense, Jason Robertson's future isn't set in stone. With Mikko Rantanen added to the roster and a massive contract extension projected for Robertson, Dallas faces a financial puzzle. Trading him could clear space to re-sign defenseman Thomas Harley and invest in more depth. The question is whether the Stars want to take a chance on a new roster structure. Mario Ferraro could be a fit for defense-hungry teams Mario Ferraro of the San Jose Sharks might not light up the stat sheet, but his physical style and reliable minutes make him a valuable depth piece. At 26, he's in his prime and brings experience despite playing high up in a struggling Sharks lineup. Ferraro could thrive in a more balanced system, making him a potential target for contenders looking to bulk up defensively. Cole Sillinger might be the odd man out in Columbus The Columbus Blue Jackets are stacked at center, and Cole Sillinger may find himself playing on the wing in 2025-26. Entering the final year of his contract, he faces questions about his long-term role and the value of his contract, if Columbus doesn't see him as part of its future core. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Sillinger could become a valuable asset on the trade market for teams in need of young forwards. Player Profiles: Cole Sillinger Braden Schneider offers trade value for the New York Rangers The New York Rangers have long held on to Braden Schneider, but the 23-year-old defenseman might be moved as the team navigates a surplus on the right side. Schneider, recovering from surgery, has been primarily used on the bottom pair and is approaching the end of his current contract. If New York wants to retool, Schneider could bring in significant return value. Rickard Rakell could boost a contender's top six Rickard Rakell's role with the Pittsburgh Penguins may be nearing its end as the team looks to rebuild around Sidney Crosby. With 35 goals last season and proven offensive upside, Rakell remains a scoring threat; for a team in playoff contention, he could serve as a reliable second-line winger, and the Penguins, meanwhile, could benefit from moving him to gain cap flexibility and younger assets. Rickard Rakell Goals (2024-25) As the 2025-26 NHL season inches closer to opening night on October 7. Teams across the league are already mapping out trade scenarios, with tight salary caps and shifting roster priorities. These five names could headline some of the biggest moves leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline.
