Rumors linking Davie Selke with RB Leipzig return appear unfounded
Sport Bild and the Hamburger Abendblatt are now refuting the sensationalist rumors linking Hamburg striker Davie Selke with a return to RB Leipzig. The initial Sky Germany reports were also quashed by Kicker in the Monday print edition of the magazine. Evidently, Leipzig have zero interest in Selke. The rumors are nothing more than hot air. The reports led to a significant backlash from RB supporters on social media platforms and fan forums. Most of the critical reaction can be traced to the fact that Sky suggested that Selke would be procured as a direct replacement for popular 'club man' Yussuf Poulsen. Advertisement Poulsen's contract expires at the end of next season. The notion that the Danish striker – who has served the German Red Bulls faithfully since joining RB in the 3. Liga days back in 2013 – could be sold to make way for a figure like Selke stirred up quite a bit of rage. For now, it appears, the discontent will be quieted after the three sources have had their say. Selke still appears set for a departure from HSV, but will not be headed to Saxony. GGFN | Peter Weis

Florida Panthers Captain Aleksander Barkov sets NHL record by winning Selke, King Clancy in the same year
Photo byAleksander Barkov just pulled off something no player in NHL history has ever done. The Florida Panthers captain clinched both the Selke Trophy and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy this year, a rare feat in itself—but made truly historic by achieving them in the same season. While other legends have won both at different points in their careers, Barkov is the first to sweep the awards together—cementing his place as not just an elite two-way player, but also a community leader off the ice. Aleksandar Barkov becomes first player to win Selke, King Clancy together For the third time in his career, Barkov claimed the Selke Trophy, awarded to the league's best defensive forward. Alongside it, he earned his first King Clancy Trophy, given for exceptional leadership and humanitarian efforts. While legends like Patrice Bergeron, Ron Francis, and Dave Poulin have won both over the course of their careers, none had managed to do it in a single season—until now. What made the moment even more special? Children from Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital surprised Barkov by presenting him with the awards themselves. 'Bringing the kids from Joe DiMaggio to announce it — it was great for sure,' Barkov shared. 'I'll remember that for the rest of my life.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Reflecting on his journey from a wide-eyed teenager to team captain, Barkov said, 'When I first got here I was just a young kid and the community kind of like accepted me here… So at some point in my career it was just a matter of time when I realized I should probably start giving something back.' His #BarkovScores4JoeD initiative has raised over $420,000 for the hospital since 2019, donating $1,600 per goal and $800 per assist. Coach Paul Maurice praised Barkov's quiet, genuine nature: 'It so fits his personality that it's done quietly, not on a website every day. It's not a photo op for Sasha.' Forward Sam Bennett added, 'He really is just the perfect human.' In another franchise first, Panthers teammate Sam Reinhart finished second in Selke voting—marking the first 1-2 Selke finish by teammates. As the Panthers gear up for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Oilers, Barkov's dual honor stands as a testament to leadership on and off the ice. And with his team rallying behind him, Florida fans are hoping there's even more history to write. Also Read: Top NHL prospect Matthew Schaefer returns from injury ahead of 2025 draft

NHL gives Aleksander Barkov the Selke and King Clancy awards - with the help of kids
Article content 'I thought maybe some picture, some art that they had drawn for me,' Barkov said. He hopped over the back row of seats in the Panthers' theater-style meeting room and went down to meet the kids. And imagine his surprise when the 'gifts' were brought in — first the King Clancy Trophy that gets awarded to the player that combines leadership on and off the ice with humanitarian work, then the Selke Trophy that gets presented to the NHL's best defensive forward. The awards were technically awarded to Barkov last week; they were announced by the NHL on Monday. It's the third Selke for Barkov, and the first King Clancy. 'It was amazing,' Barkov told The Associated Press. 'I got a little emotional there. I didn't really have words to say. That was very nicely done, and I was really thankful for everyone who was part of it.' The NHL is announcing the winners of top individual awards a little differently this year, adding surprise elements with only a handful of people knowing what is happening ahead of time. The NHL and TNT had cameras and microphones inside the team meeting room for the Barkov announcement, which might have been a sign that something unusual was happening that day.
