Maple Leafs, Evangelista, Tuch, Chinakhov, and Peeke - NHL Rumors

Maple Leafs, Evangelista, Tuch, Chinakhov, and Peeke - NHL Rumors

Max Domi is pegged to get the first crack on a Matthews-Knies pairing, with Matias Maccelli as a fallback. If Domi struggles, Maccelli could slot with Tavares and Nylander. Toronto still seeks a true top-six add, but assets are tight and camp battles will trim Robertson, Cowan, Kampf, or Jarnkrok. Across the league, Montreal’s Matheson and Gorton surface in Canadiens chatter, while Chinakhov, Kaprizov, Evangelista, and Peeke drive broader fantasy intrigue.

Which Leafs wing combo has the highest upside with Domi or Maccelli?How will camp decisions impact Leafs' fantasy values?What non-Leafs rumors should fantasy players monitor this offseason?Which dynasty targets emerge if these Leafs-top-six moves materialize?

Brock Nelson, signed and settled, sees bright Avalanche future

The Denver Post

Brock Nelson, signed and settled, sees bright Avalanche future

Brock Nelson signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract with Colorado on June 4, locking in a versatile two-way center for the Avalanche’s 2025-26 window. The deal refines Colorado’s 2C role, adds penalty-killing value, and signals trust in Nelson to blend with MacKinnon and the club’s veteran core. Nelson’s presence, plus Hakstol’s UND history, suggests a brighter training camp and structured system to support a potential Cup run, with dynasty-like familiarity boosting fantasy upside.

How should Nelson's 2C/PK role with the Avalanche influence fantasy projections for 2025-26?Will Nelson’s signing alter Colorado’s PP1/PP2 structure and fantasy outcomes?How does Nelson's signing affect fantasy outlook for MacKinnon and Toews?What are the main risks to Nelson’s fantasy value despite the deal?

Weekly Primer: Prospects in Buffalo; training camp opens | PensBurgh

Penguins prospects wrap the Buffalo showcase with Avery Hayes stealing headlines, knotting a late winner against Boston and scoring twice versus Columbus, signaling a real push for a 2025-26 camp spot. Pittsburgh then pivots to public training camp sessions at UPMC Lemieux Complex beginning Sept. 18, with a noon Monday game against Sabres prospects to cap the Challenge before the team ramps up for the preseason against Montreal on Sept. 22.

Which Penguins prospect has the most to gain from the Buffalo showcase and why?What roster decisions are most likely to shape Penguins’ camp this week?Which preseason matchups should fantasy managers monitor for breakout candidates?Which backup forwards or defensemen should be watched as potential late-season call-ups?

Georgiev signs 1-year, $825,000 contract with Sabres | Pro Hockey News

PHN Staff Report with official press release

Pro Hockey News

Georgiev signs 1-year, $825,000 contract with Sabres | Pro Hockey News

Buffalo adds Alexandar Georgiev on a one-year, $825K deal, injecting veteran depth into a crowded Sabres crease that already includes Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Devon Levi and Alex Lyon. Georgiev seeks to reclaim Colorado form after a late-season swap to San Jose, while Buffalo bets on a competitive rotation that prioritizes rest for young core netsmarts Levi and Luukkonen. The move signals a measured, depth-forwarded approach to net in 2025-26.

Given Georgiev's one-year deal, should fantasy managers target him as a late-round streamer for goaltending this season?How does the addition of Georgiev influence Buffalo's goalie rotation and potential split with Levi or Luukkonen?What upside or risk does Levi present given Buffalo’s net depth and Georgiev’s signing?Which Sabres goalie should be prioritized in fantasy redraft formats with this depth chart?

Sabres coach Adam Mair on leave after drunk-driving arrest - ESPN

Sabres coach Adam Mair on leave after drunk-driving arrest - ESPN

Buffalo Sabres place Adam Mair on administrative leave after reports he was arrested for drunk driving with three children in the car. The 46-year-old former NHL player reportedly blew a 0.2% BAC, failed field sobriety tests, then took a breath test. Buffalo offered no further comment as the team heads into training camp and hosts a five-day prospects tournament.

For fantasy managers, the staffing disruption may ripple through Buffalo's developmental pipeline, potentially reshaping coaching duties and the pace at which prospects move toward NHL duty. Monitor any updates on discipline or shifts in the organization’s development approach.
