It does not mean a trade will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the NHL trade rumours that matter this week: the players most likely to move, who reported it and when, and the latest on each of the seven Canadian clubs. The board is rebuilt every Monday. It lists eight players this week, one of them with a public trade request. Completed deals live on our <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/trade-tracker\/\">NHL trade tracker<\/a>. 19+ (18+ in AB, MB and QC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"this-week\">This week in NHL trade rumours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Winnipeg traded Connor Hellebuyck to New Jersey on Friday, 23 October, the day his suspension ended.

The deal is on our <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/trade-tracker\/\">NHL trade tracker<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Dylan Larkin&#8217;s approved list now runs to 10 teams, none of them Canadian, TSN&#8217;s Chris Johnston reported. Pierre LeBrun says Detroit is still scouting Montr\u00e9al in case that changes.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pittsburgh&#8217;s Kyle Dubas is listening on Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell, Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson, TSN&#8217;s Darren Dreger reported on 22 October.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Washington has given Ivan Miroshnichenko permission to talk to other teams, Sportsnet&#8217;s Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Daily Faceoff&#8217;s Anthony Di Marco reported that the Flyers could explore a Travis Konecny trade even as results improve, and that Owen Tippett draws more calls.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Off the board: Connor Hellebuyck (traded).<\/li>\n\n\n<li>This is the first edition of the board.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"board\">The NHL trade board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eight players below are ranked by how close a trade looks on what has been reported, not on what we think should happen.

Simon Edvinsson is reported to want a trade but has not asked formally. The full status of each, checked on 26 October, is in the <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/trade-tracker\/#requests\">open requests table<\/a> on the tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deadline\">When is the 2027 NHL trade deadline?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Russo of The Athletic reported in July that the 2027 deadline falls on Monday, 1 March 2027 (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/news\/2026-27-nhl-trade-deadline-set-monday-march-1-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Faceoff<\/a>). That is 126 days, about 18 weeks, from this edition. The league has not published the date, so treat it as reported until it does. Last season&#8217;s deadline was Friday, 6 March 2026 at 3 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the season&#8217;s trading happens in the final week before the deadline, and this board will run twice a week from February. The <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/trade-tracker\/#how-trades-work\">trade tracker<\/a> explains retained salary, clauses and the holiday roster freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"betting\">Betting on NHL trade rumours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumours can move futures prices before any trade is made. When a contender is linked to a goaltender like Hellebuyck, its Stanley Cup price can shorten on the report alone, and it can drift back if the deal never happens. A bet on a rumour is really two bets: that the trade goes through, and that it changes the team. Our <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/stanley-cup-odds\/\">Stanley Cup odds page<\/a> tracks the futures board, and the <a href=\"\/ca\/betting-guides\/futures-betting\/\">futures betting guide<\/a> explains how season-long markets settle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the NHL sportsbooks we rate for Canadians, listed by province, with the full comparison on our <a href=\"\/ca\/bet\/betting-sites\/nhl\/\">NHL betting sites page<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-we-report\">How we report NHL trade rumours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Named reporters only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every line credits the insider who reported it, the outlet and the date, and links to the original. When a story reaches us through an aggregator, the aggregator is linked and the original reporter is credited. Anonymous social accounts and headlines on their own never count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the tags mean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trade request means the player has asked to be moved and it is public. Reported means a named insider has said it. Speculation marks a columnist&#8217;s analysis rather than news. Cooling means 14 days have passed without a new report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a player comes off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A player leaves the board after 21 days with no new report. He also comes off straight away if he is traded, when he moves to the <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/trade-tracker\/\">trade tracker<\/a>, or if the report is withdrawn. If we get something wrong, we correct it and say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">NHL trade rumours FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-nhltradeboard001\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who is on the NHL trade block right now?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As of 26 October, the players most often reported as trade candidates are Dylan Larkin (Detroit), Rickard Rakell (Pittsburgh), Bryan Rust (Pittsburgh), Ivan Miroshnichenko (Washington), Travis Konecny (Philadelphia), Owen Tippett (Philadelphia), Simon Edvinsson (Detroit) and Connor Zary (Calgary). Dylan Larkin has asked to be traded; the others have been reported by named insiders.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-nhltradeboard002\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">When is the 2027 NHL trade deadline?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Michael Russo of The Athletic reported in July that it falls on Monday, 1 March 2027.

The Winnipeg Jets traded him to the New Jersey Devils on Friday, 23 October, the day his suspension ended.
