Meet hockey's next generation, in their own words.
From first NHL paychecks to embarrassing hockey stories, we asked this year's top prospects to introduce themselves at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase in Chicago.

Multiple teams remain in the mix for Dylan Larkin. Hearing his side is putting pressure on Detroit to see a deal through.
I believe Minnesota has had one of the stronger offers so far and Wings are seeing who else may step up.

My latest for ESPN:
I spoke to half a dozen ppl, incl world-renowned psychologist @michaelgervais, about #Flames Devin Cooley 👇🏾🔻

Taylor Hall was activated off IR and expected to return for Carolina tonight, but a new issue cropped up this morning.
He’s not playing tonight, but it should be minor. Day-to-day.

By missing training camp without permission, Hellebuyck's Cap Hit is reduced to $8.1M this season.
The #NJDevils currently have $8.2M Current Cap Space available, so when his suspension is lifted, they will have sufficient space without requiring a roster move.

Connor Hellebuyck has been traded to New Jersey Devils. The deal includes Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Nick Bjugstad and Alexander Command, who NJ took No. 12 overall at the 2026 Draft. Plus two draft picks.
Breaking: The New Jersey Devils are in advanced talks to acquire Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, sources tell @emilymkaplan.

The New Jersey Devils are closing in on a deal for Connor Hellebuyck, per sources.
As of this weekend, Winnipeg felt it had terrible offers for the goalie but things seemed to have progressed last night. Believe Jets have been focused on scorers in return.
Big scoop by Weeksey. Believe the Marat Khusnutdinov extension in Boston is for 3 years x $3.95 million AAV.
This is serendipity : per sources, I’m told
it’s 4M AAV on a multi year contract extension for @NHLBruins F Khustnutdinov. #HockeyX
As Patrik Laine remains unsigned, I’m told he has zero intention of signing in Europe. The longer this goes on, the more he says he’s motivated to prove people wrong.
Extremely scary situation for Ben Kindel, who suffered a medical episode on plane.
The team is flying back to Pittsburgh now, but several Penguins staffers from medical, coaching and front office have stayed back at the hospital with Kindel.
A statement from the Pittsburgh Penguins
ALT Statement graphic that reads: The Pittsburgh Penguins team plane returned to the Salt Lake City International Airport today shortly after takeoff due to a medical episode involving forward Ben Kindel. Team physician, Dr. Dharmesh Vyas of UPMC, as well as the team’s medical staff were on board and immediately attended to Ben. An ambulance was waiting upon arrival, and he was taken to the University of Utah Hospital for further evaluation. Ben is conscious, alert and in stable condition. The health and safety of our players, as well as the privacy for their families, are our top priority. The team will provide further updates when appropriate.
At least three teams remain in the mix for Connor Hellebuyck, but still no guarantee he’s traded by Friday.
If the Jets don’t move him this week, the likely plan is to begin paying him but have him stay away from team. Hellebuyck has been getting regular ice time in Michigan.
Winnipeg Jets players are preparing for difficult conversations should former NHL MVP Connor Hellebuyck rejoin them next week when his suspension is expected to end.
The suspension came after failing to report to training camp, having requested a trade from the team. spr.ly/6013BHrbb9

As long as things stay on track through morning skate, Blackhawks captain Connor Bedard likely to make his season debut tomorrow night against Pittsburgh.
He’s been feeling good three months post-shoulder surgery, medical team has been monitoring. Will be huge boost for Chicago.

The Rangers are now expected to explore goalie help.
Jonathan Quick, 40, is comfortable in retirement and now serves as NYR’s Director of Goaltending Development. But if the Rangers asked him to play, sources believe he could be a possibility.
One more home opener for Alex Ovechkin… with Sidney Crosby on the other side.
