Doug Armstrong wastes no time shaking up the Blues' depth chart, pulling the trigger on the league's first trade since the Olympic roster freeze lifted by swapping AHL wingers Matt Luff and Julien Gauthier with the Islanders. Luff brings his Springfield scoring touch - 39 points in 42 games - to Bridgeport, where he slots in as a top-line rental and NHL call-up option with his 111 games of big-league experience.
The Islanders pull off the first NHL trade since the Olympic freeze, snagging Matt Luff from the Blues in exchange for Julien Gauthier, both AHL vets looking for a spark. Luff brings his Springfield scoring tear - 39 points in 42 games - and 111 games of NHL experience to Bridgeport as top call-up insurance, while Gauthier heads to the Thunderbirds chasing his fifth NHL stop after a rocky injury stint.
The Islanders kick off the post-Olympic trade market by prying scoring machine Matt Luff away from St. Louis in exchange for Julien Gauthier, both AHL vets looking for a spark. Luff brings his Springfield-leading 39 points and 111 NHL games straight to Bridgeport, where he slots in as top dog and emergency call-up guy for Lou Lamoriello's playoff-chasing crew.
Buffalo's breakout winger Josh Doan catches the eye of USA Hockey brass as a gritty fit for the 2028 World Cup roster, projected right into that versatile fourth-line role alongside Cutter Gauthier. With Tage Thompson locked in after his Olympic heroics and gold-medal OT winner at the Worlds, Doan needs to sustain this hot streak to crash the party. Front offices whisper that two more years of forechecking fury could seal his spot on the plane to the tournament.
Flyers fans keep flooding my inbox with the big questions as the deadline looms - who steps up in net from the prospect pipeline, how does Briere land that elusive No. 1 center to unlock Cutter Gauthier and Matvei Michkov, and does Charlie Thomas have the size and snarl to be the perfect puzzle piece up front? I've been whispering with Tortorella's staff, and the goalie carousel spins faster than Ersson's glove hand when they're debating call-ups versus trades.
