NEW for @TheAthletic,
The San Jose Sharks are an NHL destination again. Just ask the vets buying in alongside Macklin Celebrini (free to read) ⤵️

Some teams calling with interest on winger Dmitri Voronkov. Not saying he will be traded for sure but CBJ listening.

From @JayOnSC - @PierreVLeBrun sheds some light on Dylan Larkin expanding his trade list, if he expects Quinn Hughes to receive a harsh reaction from Canucks fans in his return to Vancouver, and more: tsn.ca/video/2026/10/22/lebr…
Weekly whirl around the NHL with @JayOnrait @JayOnSC ⤵️
'The Canadiens remain interested in Dylan Larkin if he changes his mind.' @PierreVLeBrun has more on Larkin's trade list: youtube.com/watch?v=zm0__miS…
The only thing this game in Ottawa is missing is a little Brandon Hagel mixed in there. Too bad the Senators couldn’t borrow him for 24 hours. A little 4 Nations redux.

Austin Lemieux, son of Mario Lemieux, tees it up in the Butterfield Bermuda Classic this weekend after making it through the Monday qualifier. It will mark the first PGA Tour event for the 30-year-old amateur.

Everyone talked about how the NHL’s “Hot for Hockey” campaign fell flat. But few explored why.
So I went straight to the community the league was trying to reach: BookTok.
What I found was a much bigger conversation about hockey, romance and the NHL’s approach to female fans.
My latest for @TheAthletic:

Brady Tkachuk returns to Ottawa for the first time tonight since being traded this summer. How hostile will tonight be? @TheAthleticNHL
Here’s my latest, with more quotes from him during my time in Fort Lauderdale at Panthers training camp.

Most interesting teams to me on Larkin's 10-team list are Utah and New Jersey. Mammoth already made a move for Trocheck, of course, and Devils are pretty good down the middle. But of the teams on the list, young talent in those orgs definitely stands out

“I love living here. I love the city. I love the team, and I want to win. And for me, it was an easy decision.”
— Travis Green after being extended through 2031 yesterday.
My latest on why “stability” and “growth” have kept him around. @TheAthleticNHL

Seven players will make their Team Canada debuts at the upcoming IIHF Women's World Championship.
National team mainstays (Brianne Jenner and Jocelyne Larocque) are notably absent as Canada ushers in a youth movement.

The Brewers haven’t been to the World Series since ‘82, when a young Bill Zito was a bat boy on that ball club. The two-time Stanley Cup champion GM says that experience 44 years ago helped shape his path to where he is today.
“One hundred percent.”

Green was in Year 3 of a four-year contract so this is a nice early extension for him.
Travis Green and his assistants (Ben Sexton, Justin Peters, Mike Yeo and Nolan Baumgartner) have all been signed to multi-year contract extensions.
Green’s contract extension will run until the 2030-31 season. #Sens.
As it stands today, and we know it keeps changing, McDavid would be the 13th-highest AAV in the NHL next season at $12.5 million behind Makar ($20.4M), Celebrini ($18.8M), L. Carlsson ($18M), Kaprizov ($17M), Bedard ($15M), Draisaitl ($14M), Fantilli ($13.75M), Gauthier ($13.5M), Eichel ($13.5M), Matthews ($13.25M), Debrincat ($13M) and MacKinnon ($12.6M).
That doesn’t account for new contracts eventually from Kucherov, Q. Hughes and J. Robertson.
There’s a world in which McDavid begins next fall outside the top 15 cap hits. No. 97 knew he was giving the Oil a bargain when he extended, because he wants to win. Still !
So you're saying there's a chance !
(for the Cowboys 😂)
