It’s time for another round of NHL rumours. We’re in the middle of the off-season, but we still have plenty to discuss. General managers are still trying to figure on how to maximize their salary cap space and fine-tune their rosters. Not much has happened after the initial free agent frenzy. However, there’s always plenty going on in the hot stove. One team that’s trying to back to the Stanley Cup Final is the New York Rangers. This edition of NHL rumours look at the status of one of their key defencemen.

The Milwaukee Admirals have re-signed forward Cal O’Reilly to an American Hockey League contract for the 2024-25 season. O’Reilly enters his 19th professional campaign after notching 10 goals and 20 assists in 69 games for the Admirals in 2023-24. He added two goals and four assists in 15 playoff games as the Admirals reached the Western Conference Finals.

Despite seven seasons in the NHL marked by a choppy development path and injuries, the New York Rangers are still holding out hope for Filip Chytil. Only 24 years old, it seems as though Chytil has been in a Rangers sweater forever – that is, when he hasn’t been sent to the minors (twice) or dealt with a variety of injuries (numerous) that have resulted in him reaching the 70-game mark only twice. One of those times obviously wasn’t last season, when he played only 10 games before enduring a jarring step backward, as yet another suspected concussion forced him to be shut down for the rest of the regular season.

The angst among Detroit Red Wings fans regarding center Joe Veleno is somewhat difficult to fathom. On the one hand, we get it. The guy went in the first round of the NHL entry draft, 30th overall in 2018. He was given special status to enter the QMJHL as an underage player.

Pro Hockey Rumors

The Blue Jackets will not be renewing the contract of assistant coach Josef Boumedienne, sources tell The Athletic’s Aaron Portzline. It’s a little late in the offseason to make coaching changes, especially for a club still looking to lock down its head coach. Columbus has seen a lot of personnel turnover this offseason, naming Don Waddell as their general manager in late May before firing head coach Pascal Vincent after all previous head coaching vacancies created this offseason had been filled.

Still without HC, Blue Jackets expected to part ways with assistant coach

Montreal Canadiens fans hope for a playoff run, but projections suggest they may need two more years to compete at that level. Michael Misa emerges as a potential draft pick for the Canadiens next season, despite James Hagens being the top prospect. Misa, known for his exceptional OHL performance, is one to watch with the Saginaw Spirit in 2024-25.

During this past NHL season, one of the nice developments for the Blackhawks was forward Philipp Kurashev taking a significant step forward in his production on the ice. After a few underwhelming seasons, it was a bit of a surprise when he was awarded a two-year contract with a $2.25 million AAV in arbitration last summer. That number felt a bit high at the time.

The anticipation is rising for the arrival of Philadelphia Flyers prospect Matvei Michkov, with fans eager to see how he will fit into the team. Michkov's standout performance in the KHL has set high expectations for his rookie NHL season, despite potential challenges adjusting to a new country and playing style. Flyers GM Danny Briere cautions that Michkov may need time to adapt. While a slow start is possible, Michkov's skills are expected to shine once he finds his rhythm, likely contributing around 50 points in his first season and competing for the Calder Memorial Trophy.

Edmonton Oilers interim general manager Jeff Jackson continued his busy offseason on Monday (July 15), trading forwards Xavier Bourgault and Jake Chiasson to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Roby Jarventie and Ottawa’s 2025 fourth-round pick. The big story was that Edmonton had moved on from Bourgault, who...

Oilers Can’t Afford to Disregard Their Shortage of Draft Picks

When Zach Hyman left the Toronto Maple Leafs to sign a seven-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers in 2021, it was met with skepticism primarily due to the term and Hyman’s age. At 29, a long-term contract was seen as risky since players often decline in performance as they age. The concern was that Hyman might not sustain a high level of play throughout the entire duration of the contract, which would make it difficult for the Oilers to manage their salary cap effectively.

Comparing the Chris Tanev & Zach Hyman Contracts

Certainly, Cam Talbot could be of great help to the Detroit Red Wings next season. He’s coming off an all-star campaign with the Los Angeles Kings. Talbot’s numbers suggest he’ll be more consistent and reliable between the pipes than any of the netminders the team used last season.
