This afternoon there is growing concern that a former first-round pick might have to abandon playing hockey in North America due to a lack of interest. The NHL offseason is the beginning of a career for many young stars in the NHL. It can also be the end of the journey for a player who once was looked at as a promising young talent. This summer that could be the case for former Edmonton Oilers top prospect Kailer Yamamoto.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner has been the subject of trade rumors and one trade pitch has him being sent to the Detroit Red Wings. Marner is entering the final year of his six-year $65.4 million deal. With Marner in the final year of his deal, he has been a popular trade target due to the Maple Leafs’ lack of playoff success. The website PuckPedia has a new tool called PuckGM that lets users create their own trades, and one user proposed a deal that would see the Red Wings acquire Marner in a blockbuster deal.

The NHL offseason is in probably its quietest time of the year. The big free agency splash has concluded and most teams have secured what will likely be extremely close to their starting lineup come October. But with that said, various teams are still looking to fine-tune and establish their squads. This includes signing some pretty big-named RFAs. The Carolina Hurricanes are in that exact position. With all of their other notable RFAs signed including Martin Necas and Jack Drury, all focus is now on their only remaining one. This edition of NHL Rumours looks at updates on Seth Jarvis signing with Carolina.

The New Jersey Devils aren’t making the same gamble with Paul Cotter that the Vegas Golden Knights are making with Alexander Holtz and Akira Schmid. At the very least, the Devils are getting a workhorse forward who will make life very difficult for the opposition. However, general manager Tom Fitzgerald believes Cotter has another level to his game. There is some evidence to support that thinking as well.

It’s safe to say that the New Jersey Devils were a shell of their former selves in the 2023-24 season. Following a 112-point 2022-23 in which the Devils were a force to be reckoned with, they fell flat on their faces last season after gambling on some internal pieces to advance to another level. After that didn’t quite happen, New Jersey went through a bit of a makeover this summer, bringing in some necessary veteran leadership and a bit of elbow grease. One player who the Devils are relying on to bring some missing elements back to the lineup is forward Paul Cotter.
