Despite a bevy of trade rumors circling him, Rasmus Ristolainen will play and start for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Utah Mammoth on Thursday night.
Ristolainen, 32, is paired up with Travis Sanheim on defense and will not sit out Thursday's contest in preparation or anticipation of any kind of trade.
Previously, Scott Laughton played the day before the Flyers traded him to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and prior to that, Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost played the same night they were dealt to the Calgary Flames.
After the Buffalo Sabres missed out on St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko, who exercised his no-trade clause to block a move, they could logically pivot to an old friend in Ristolainen as their next trade target.
Players like Connor Murphy, Tyler Myers, Nick Blankenburg, and MacKenzie Weegar have already addressed right-shot defense needs for contenders like Edmonton, Dallas, Utah, and Colorado, so the Ristolainen trade market is rapidly thinning.
Boston and Detroit are believed to be seeking right-shot defenders as well.
Ristolainen and the Flyers are aiming to win their fourth-straight contest.
With the NHL Trade deadline set for Friday at 3 pm, the Senators have pulled off a trade with the Los Angeles Kings to acquire veteran forward Warren Foegele.
In return, the Senators are sending the Kings the Buffalo Sabres’ second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. That's the pick the Sens got in the Josh Norris-Dylan Cozens trade at last year's deadline. The Sens and Kings will also trade conditional third-round picks.
Foegele is an excellent penalty killer, which is huge for the Sens, who've struggled so mightily in that area. He's had 20+ goals in each of the last two seasons, a Cup final appearance in 2024 with Edmonton, but the drop-off in offence from last year to this year is startling.
The 29-year old has seven goals and nine points in 47 games with the Kings this season. He makes $3.5 million and has one more year left on his deal after this season.
Giving up a second-round draft pick this summer when the Senators already don't have their first has all the makings of a dull NHL Draft this summer.
Now let's get to all those exciting conditions on those third-round draft picks being swapped. Better buckle up...
Ottawa will get the worse of the Kings’ own third-round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft or Dallas’ third-round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft (acquired in a previous trade).
Los Angeles will get the better of Ottawa’s own third-round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft or Washington’s third-round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft (acquired in a previous trade).
However, if both Ottawa and Washington do not qualify for the 2026 NHL playoffs, then Ottawa will instead transfer to Los Angeles the worse of Ottawa’s own third-round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft or Washington’s third-round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft (acquired in a previous trade).
Senators tough guy Kurtis MacDermid hasn't played an NHL game yet in 2026.
So when he suddenly started taking Stephen Halliday's place in line rushes at a game-day practice that falls on the eve of the NHL Trade Deadline, that's a pretty good sign that something may be up.
As the Senators got ready for their road game against the Calgary Flames on Thursday night, Halliday was suddenly an extra at the game day skate, which usually means the player is tracking to be out of the lineup.
It's possible that Travis Green just wants to give MacDermid some game action, or that he wants the rookie to have a night off for whatever reason. But with the Senators' playoff chances hanging by a thread, they need all hands on deck right now.
So, the most likely reason for Halliday to be scratched in favour of MacDermid is roster management. Translation: GM Steve Staios may be discussing a trade right now that involves Halliday. And the acquiring team, if there is one, doesn't want him getting hurt playing for someone else.
From Green's perspective, when asked about potential lineup changes against the Flames, he wasn't tipping his hand about anything.
"We'll see," Green said.
Halliday is an intriguing buy-low candidate with some real potential. The 6-foot-4, 23-year-old centre has spent the bulk of his NHL time so far on the fourth line, but has still managed to chip in with 11 points in 28 games.
Halliday is an excellent shooter but prefers the role of setup man, and while he's not easy to knock off the puck, he doesn't use his size to his advantage much beyond that.
No one will really know what his ceiling is until he gains more experience and gets to play higher up in the lineup with premium ice time and better linemates. As long as the price is right, several retooling NHL teams would be interested to see what that experiment looks like, and it sounds like at least one of them may be spitballing with Staios as we speak.
A fourth Nashville Predators player has been dealt as the trade deadline nears. Thursday afternoon, the Predators traded forward Michael Bunting to the Dallas Stars for a 2026 third-round draft pick draft
The Predators now have 11 picks in the 2026 NHL Draft: 1st (one pick), 2nd (two picks), 3rd (one pick), 4th (two picks), 5th (three picks), 6th (one pick) and 7th (one pick).
This is the second 2026 pick the Predators have acquired in a Bunting trade, as he arrived in Nashville via a trade that sent Luke Schenn and Thomas Novak to Pittsburgh for Bunting and a 2026 fourth-round selection in March 2025.
🔁TRADE:
We've acquired Seattle’s third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft from Dallas in exchange for forward Michael Bunting.
Bunting has had a massive impact on the Predators' bottom six this season, scoring 31 points (13G, 18A) in 61 games and logging 16 penalty minutes. The PIM total is a career low for Bunting.
He is in the final year of a 3-year, $13.5 million contract, which he originally signed with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2023. Bunting will be a unrestircted free agent at the end of this season.
The Predators have offloaded almost all of their pending UFAs at the trade deadline. Erik Haula and Tyson Jost are the last two Predators pending UFAs remaining on the roster.
Nashville hosts the Boston Bruins on Thursday at 7 p.m. CST at Bridgestone Arena.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild (36-16-10) is back in action on Friday for a game against the Vegas Golden Knights (29-19-14) on trade deadline day.
On Thursday, just a few days after Wild General Manager Bill Guerin said his blue line was set, the Wild traded for defenseman Jeff Petry from the Florida Panthers.
#mnwild acquire Jeff Petry from Florida for a conditional 7th rounder.
The draft pick becomes a fifth-round pick in 2026 if Minnesota wins two playoff rounds and Petry plays in 50 percent or more of the Wild’s playoff games during those first two rounds.
The trade was for a conditional seventh-round pick. The condition is that if the Wild win two playoff rounds and Petry plays in 50 percent or more of those games, then the seventh in 2026 will turn into a fifth.
Petry, 38, has eight assists, 45 shots, 59 hits, 22 penalty minutes, and a minus-10 on-ice rating in 58 games for the Panthers this season. He signed a one-year deal before the season and is making only $775,000.

Ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline, the Philadelphia Flyers have yet to strike any deals of substance, though their latest signing indicates that one could be coming soon.
On Thursday, the Flyers signed AHL journeyman and tough guy Garrett Wilson to a one-year, two-way contract that will carry him through the rest of the 2025-26 season, making him eligible to appear in NHL games for the Flyers this season.
Wilson, 34, has not played in an NHL game since he was, as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, swept by the New York Islanders in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Aside from a one-year pitstop in Toronto with the AHL Marlies, Wilson has since played in the Flyers organization for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, serving as their captain for the last three seasons.
The 6-foot-4 enforcer has recorded no fewer than 100 penalty minutes in each of his last four campaigns, and is one penalty away from making it five.
Of course, the timing of signing a 34-year-old of this profile is intriguing, with the trade deadline less than 24 hours away at the time of this writing.
The Flyers have veterans like Nick Deslauriers (pending UFA) and Garnet Hathaway (2027 UFA) who no longer fit the team's roster and could spend their twilight years chasing a Stanley Cup with another NHL team.
Wilson, a well-respected leader in Allentown, could step in for the Flyers as an internal replacement for one or both players without the Flyers having to sacrifice veteran leadership and toughness during the process of getting younger and making space for prospects.
Now that the Flyers have assured themselves two veteran forwards with NHL experience - they just traded for Boris Katchouk as well - they presumably will feel less hesitant to subtract from their roster and their locker room ahead of the trade deadline.
NHL insider Frank Seravalli further confirmed the reports, adding that the Kings are receiving a draft pick, and the two teams are also swapping picks.
In the Senators' press release of the trade, the conditions of the swapped third-round picks are explained.
"Ottawa will get the worse of the Kings’ own third round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft or Dallas’ third round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft (acquired in a previous trade). Los Angeles will get the better of Ottawa’s own third round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft or Washington’s third round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft (acquired in a previous trade). However, if both Ottawa and Washington do not qualify for the 2026 NHL playoffs, then Ottawa will instead transfer to Los Angeles the worse of Ottawa’s own third round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft or Washington’s third round draft pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft (acquired in a previous trade)."
Foegele has been in and out of the lineup for the Kings at times this season, and that was not lost on Kings GM Ken Holland. Holland openly hinted at trading away Foegele shortly after acquiring superstar left winger Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers on Feb. 4.

Los Angeles' GM admitted that he had a surplus of forwards and that a player like Foegele shouldn't be a healthy scratch. Evidently, Holland has found Foegele a home where he'll be hoping to get more playing time.
He's featured in 47 games and has scored seven goals and nine points this season for the Kings. With that, he's averaged 14:45 of ice time in what is his second season with Los Angeles.
However, in his first season with the team, he was far more productive. In fact, he went on to have the best campaign of his career, scoring 24 goals and 22 assists for 46 points. Not to mention, he put up a plus-36 plus-minus rating and averaged 16:10 of ice time per game, all of which are personal bests.
The Kings signed Foegele in the free agency window in the off-season of 2024. The Markham, Ont., native carries a $3.5-million salary cap hit for one more season after this campaign, and has a five-team no-trade list, according to puckpedia.com.
Before his time with the Kings, Foegele spent three seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, growing into a middle-six forward as time went on. In his last season with Edmonton, which was 2023-24, the 29-year-old scored 20 goals and 41 points.

The Pittsburgh Penguins should be looking to add to their forward depth ahead of the 2026 NHL trade deadline. One of their biggest needs is another center, and they are now being linked to one of their former players.
"League sources have told The Athletic that Pittsburgh is considering a deal that would bring former Penguins center Teddy Blueger back to the team," Yohe wrote.
If the Penguins brought back Blueger, he could be a nice addition to their and penalty kill due to his solid two-way play. However, he could also move up the Penguins' lineup at times due to his versatility if ever needed.
With Blueger being one of the top third-line centers available on the trade market, it is likely that the Penguins will have competition for his services. He is exactly the kind of solid two-way forward that playoff teams love to add, and it also does not hurt that he has a good amount of playoff experience on his resume as well.
In 14 games this season with the Canucks, Blueger has recorded five goals, three assists, eight points, and 33 hits.

It’s the last game before the trade deadline!
Everyone remain calm, or freak out, if you’d rather do that. I’m not your boss.
The Bruins and Predators face off in a game with playoff implications for both teams (though you could say that about pretty much every game from here on out, I guess).
The B’s will be looking to keep pace in the competitive Eastern Conference wild card race, while Nashville is clinging to the fringes of the Western Conference wild card race after a slow start to the post-Olympic period.
Back at practice on Thursday afternoon at the BELFOR Training Center inside of Little Caesars Arena, the Detroit Red Wings welcomed goaltender John Gibson back to the ice for the first time since his injury on Monday afternoon against the Nashville Predators.
Gibson, who suffered a "stinger" on the arm, wasn't able to dress for Wednesday evening's tilt against the Vegas Golden Knights, necessitating a call-up of 2021 first-round pick (15th overall) Sebastian Cossa from the surging Grand Rapids Griffins.
While Cossa was on the ice working with goaltending coach Michael Leighton on Thursday, he was later reassigned to the Griffins.

"I haven't gone into the trainer's room, but he looked really good in practice," head coach Todd McLellan said of Gibson. "There were a number of times when I went by, and he said, 'I feel great', so I'm assuming he's ready to go."
Late in regulation of Wednesday's tilt, which ultimately resulted in a 4-3 Golden Knights overtime win, team captain Dylan Larkin took a vicious cross-check from Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb and collapsed to the ice.
He was down for several seconds before eventually making his way back to the bench, albeit very slowly and hunched over. While he immediately went to the dressing room, he was able to return for a shift during overtime.
Neither Larkin nor fellow center Andrew Copp was present at practice, but according to McLellan, both players were off due to maintenance days and will play on Friday.
"He's doing good, getting a maintenance day, both him and Copper," McLellan said of Larkin. "Both have maintenance days; it's that time of year. Bumps and bruises all over the place, he'll be ready to play tomorrow."
Thankfully, there are no lingering effects of the cross-check to his back from Wednesday's game.
"He's sore, but there's no damage or anything like that," McLellan said. "He should be good."
Larkin has suffered numerous injuries over the years as opposing players have taken liberties against him. In April 2021, he sustained a season-ending injury after being cross-checked from behind in the neck by Jamie Benn, the captain of the Dallas Stars. The injury required him to wear a cervical hard collar for eight weeks.
In December 2023, Larkin was cross-checked in the back of the head and neck by Mathieu Joseph of the Ottawa Senators, the same player who sent him crashing into the boards from behind in October 2021 while with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Larkin lay motionless on the ice for several minutes in what was nothing short of a frightening scene.

The Vancouver Canucks have made their second trade involving a defenceman in the past day, moving Jett Woo to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for fellow right-shot defender Jack Thompson. This move comes only a day after Vancouver traded Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars.
Woo has been with the Canucks organization since he was drafted 37th overall in 2018. He has spent the entirety of the Abbotsford Canucks' franchise history with the team and helped them with the Calder Cup back in June. Despite missing the start of this season due to injury, Woo put up a goal and seven assists with Abbotsford in 26 games.
“Jett was a key part of our AHL championship winning team and we would like to thank him for all that he has done for the Canucks organization,” Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin said in a press-release. “Bringing in Jack will add to our organizational depth on the blueline, and we look forward to working with him in Abbotsford.”
Thompson, 23, was drafted in the third-round by the Tampa Bay Lightning back in 2020. San Jose acquired him via trade back in 2024. Last season, he skated in 31 games with the Sharks and scored four goals and six assists. He has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 season in the AHL thus far and has put up three goals and nine assists in 42 games with the San Jose Barracuda.
The 2026 NHL Trade Deadline takes place on Friday, March 6, at 12:00 pm PT.

The Buffalo Sabres deal with the St. Louis Blues, which reportedly would have brought defenseman Colton Parayko to Buffalo fell apart on Thursday. The two clubs agreed on a trade Wednesday that would have sent 2025 first-rounder Radim Mrtka and a future first rounder to the Blues, but the Stanley Cup winning blueliner declined to waive his no-trade clause.
The 32-year-old just returned from Italy after winning a silver medal as a member of Team Canada at the Winter Olympics, but is having a subpar season (1 goal, 13 assists) in 58 games with the struggling Blues. The deal may have been understandable from the Sabres perspective – adding a big veteran right-handed blueliner to a predominantly left-handed defensive corps, but would have represented a risk for new GM Jarmo Kekalainen, making his first move for the aging defenseman.
The optics of a player refusing to come to Buffalo, in spite of the Sabres having the best record in the NHL since early December, is another black eye to the franchise. The comments of former GM Kevyn Adams regarding no palm trees and high taxes has been hard to shake, but the success of the club over the last two months has done wonders to revitalize the pride in the organization.
The fault on this situation lies at the feet of Kekalainen, who over the last 48 hours has been connected to a pair of blockbuster acquisitions; Blues center Robert Thomas and Parayko. The Sabres GM should have been able with St. Louis’s permission to suss out whether Parayko was willing to come to Buffalo before the news got out that a deal in principle had been agreed upon. Like his previous stint in Columbus, the Sabres are on many player’s no-trade lists, so finding out their willingness to come to Buffalo or finding players that have no-trade protection should be something he is used to.
Buffalo now has less than 24 hours before the deadline to make another move, and based on his rumored trade targets this week, Kekalainen is looking to take a big swing.
The direction of the Vancouver Canucks is no longer subtle. They have officially traded defenceman Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars, and with that move, the organization has made its priorities unmistakably clear. The future is all about accumulating assets and creating opportunity, specifically for players waiting down with the Abbotsford Canucks.
Moving Myers doesn’t just clear cap space, it removes 20-plus minutes of veteran presence from a blue line that is already stretched thin. Pair that with Victor Mancini’s recall on Tuesday and ongoing roster uncertainty, and suddenly Abbotsford becomes the new wave of talent. Three names particularly stand out as the most logical step towards that vacuum.
Arshdeep Bains
Arshdeep Bains remains the most straightforward call-up candidate up front. He has already shown he can handle NHL pace, and more importantly, he’s proven he can contribute without needing ideal deployment. His offensive consistency in Abbotsford continues to reinforce that he’s reliable, dedicated, and loyal. What strengthens his case now is context.
If Vancouver continues to listen on veteran forwards or simply shifts into evaluation mode, Bains becomes the cleanest insertion into the lineup. He can play effective bottom-six minutes, slide up in a pinch, and doesn’t require sheltered usage to survive. Beyond the eye test, Bain's production in Abbotsford continues to trend upward, and his ability to drive play at five-on-five makes him a dependable option. Coaches trust players who don't cheat the system, and Bains rarely does. In a season pivoting toward development, he represents low risk with legitimate upside.
Sawyer Mynio
On the back end, Sawyer Mynio presents an intriguing case of upside meeting opportunity. The young defenceman has steadily built confidence within the Abbotsford system, showing the kind of mobility and composure that NHL blue lines demand. Mynio’s game is built on strong reads and controlled puck movement rather than flash, but that style often translates well when players make the jump to the next level.
With Myers’ minutes now removed from the equation, the Canucks will need to explore internal options capable of handling increased responsibility. Giving Mynio an NHL look would provide valuable insight into whether his development trajectory can translate against top-level competition. For a team looking toward the future rather than the standings, that kind of evaluation carries real value.
Kirill Kudryavtsev
Then there’s Kirill Kudryavtsev, a name that immediately sparks conversation and interest. What makes him intriguing isn't just his steadiness, it's his projection. He reads the ice well, closes gaps intelligently, and plays a controlled game that often translates better at higher levels than more chaotic styles. In a developmental season, those are the types of players worth testing.
If Vancouver’s commitment to the rebuild signals anything, it’s that the Canucks are willing to live with youthful mistakes in exchange for long-term clarity. Kudryavtsev has quietly built a case in Abbotsford through steady two-way play and composure under pressure. He ins’t flashy, but he moves the puck efficiently and doesn’t force plays that aren’t there. That matters on a blue line suddenly lacking veteran presence. If the goal is to identify internal solutions rather than chase temporary fixes, Kudryavtsev is the perfect player to make his NHL audition before the season closes.
Beyond those three, Abbotsford continues to showcase several players quietly strengthening the organization’s depth chart. Forward Ty Mueller has brought energy and versatility to the lineup. Danila Klimovich, meanwhile, remains one of the more intriguing offensive projects in the system, possessing the kind of raw skill that could eventually translate into scoring depth if his development continues in the right direction. None of them may be immediate call-ups, but their progress reinforces the idea that Vancouver’s future pipeline extends well beyond a single wave of prospects.

The Myers trade reinforces the organizational shift: Vancouver is no longer patching holes, it’s rebuilding structure. Bains provides immediate forward stability, Mynio represents emerging defensive potential and Kudryavtsev could be next if management truly commits to seeing what it has. These final weeks aren't about salvaging a record, they're about defining roles, determining who fits into October's lineup and who remains organizational depth.
With the trade deadline looming and management clearly prioritizing draft capital over short-term stability, this stretch is where internal evaluations matter more than ever. Vancouver isn't chasing a playoff spot anymore, it's chasing a base strong enough to build from. A foundation is only as good as its prospects, and its time for Vancouver to see what theirs are capable of.

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that they have signed forward Garrett Wilson to a two-way contract for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
Wilson was also placed on waivers by the Flyers, as it is needed before his contract with the Metropolitan Division club is finalized.
Wilson is currently in his sixth season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and is serving as their captain. In 51 games with the AHL club so far this season, the 2009 fourth-round pick has recorded four goals, 12 assists, 16 points, and 99 penalty minutes.
Wilson's last NHL appearance was during the 2018-19 season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Since then, he has exclusively played at the AHL level. He played one season with the Toronto Marlies before joining the Phantoms ahead of the 2020-21 season.
Overall, this is a nice gesture by the Flyers. Wilson has earned this NHL deal for all the time he has put in with the Phantoms.
In 84 career NHL games split between the Florida Panthers and Penguins, Wilson has recorded two goals, eight points, and 42 penalty minutes.
Flyers' Latest Signing Creates New Trade PossibilitiesAhead of Friday's NHL trade deadline, the <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers">Philadelphia Flyers</a> have yet to strike any deals of substance, though their latest signing indicates that one could be coming soon.
