In the latest NHL rumors, the Vancouver Canucks are exploring potential trade options that could reshape their roster ahead of the next season. General Manager Patrik Allvin is keen on offloading some contracts to create more flexibility under the salary cap. Players like Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller have been mentioned in potential trade talks, suggesting that the team is looking to rebuild and retool for a more competitive future.

Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are looking to bolster their defensive lineup by possibly trading for established defensemen. With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the charge offensively, the Oilers want to ensure that their defense can support their high-powered offense. Names such as Tyson Barrie could see themselves on the move if the right deal comes along.

The Dallas Stars are also in the mix, discussing the possible acquisition of a top-six forward. With significant playoff aspirations for the upcoming season, they are reportedly interested in shaking up their forward lines. Player names circulating in these discussions include Tyler Seguin, who might be involved in trades if the Stars decide to go in a different direction to enhance their chances for the Cup.

Lastly, the Montreal Canadiens continue to assess their roster following a difficult season. General Manager Kent Hughes is expected to make moves that reflect his vision for the team's future, and discussions around several players' availability are ongoing as they prepare for a more successful campaign next year.
