In today’s NHL rumour rundown, we start with the Utah Mammoth and how they have been linked to St. Louis Blues centre Robert Thomas. Next, we look at the Edmonton Oilers and the tough cap situation they are in, and how Adam Henrique will not waive his no-move clause. Finally, the Los Angeles Kings suffered another blow to the forward group and are continuing to look for an impact player.
With the 2026 Trade Deadline quickly approaching, there is expected to be a lot of movement. Many teams are looking to sell off their assets, and the buyer’s market could be strong, too.
Robert Thomas Likely to Be Moved; Mammoth Interested
On Sportsnet’s Saturday Headlines, Elliotte Friedman reported that there is a decent chance that Thomas will be moved by the deadline. There have been lots of teams interested in his services, and the Mammoth have entered the conversation.
Any time a centre is available, especially this season, there are quite a few teams linked.
The Mammoth have two good top-six centres with Logan Cooley and Nick Schmaltz, though Friedman reported on 32 Thoughts that he is likely to test free agency this offseason. Schmaltz could be a part of the return, or moved for other assets to bring in Thomas.
