NHL Trade Rumors: San Jose Sharks may trade second‑overall pick for young top‑six NHL player (Image via Getty) Something significant is brewing in San Jose Sharks. On June 27, 2025, insider David Pagnotta suggested the Sharks are ready to move the No. 2 overall pick if they can land a talented young player who has already proven themselves in the NHL. This unexpected opening could shake up the upcoming draft and free agency season. David Pagnotta says Sharks want proven NHL talent instead of draft pick David Pagnotta, speaking on The Fourth Period on June 27, 2025, reported that the San Jose Sharks 'are willing to trade the second‑overall pick if a team is open to trading them a young, top‑six NHL talent in a deal.' This means the Sharks could choose a player already in the league. Teams with promising forwards or centers in that top‑six range, players aged roughly 20 to 25 with some NHL experience, might consider a trade. Pagnotta pointed out that San Jose is looking for an immediate roster upgrade rather than waiting for a draft prospect. The Sharks hold two first‑round picks this year (No. 2 and No. 33), giving them flexibility. David Pagnotta notes the trade talk comes before July open This conversation happens just days before July 1, when NHL free agency begins. If San Jose officially puts the second overall pick on the table, it could speed up trade talks before the start of free agency. Pagnotta emphasized that other prospects may catch San Jose's interest, making this more than a draft decision, it's a strategic move to rebuild faster. He also mentioned San Jose's strong cap space and trading relief, which gives them more options than many teams. Experts on X and Reddit are already discussing which names fit the description. Some suggest the Sharks aim for a rising young winger or center from clubs ready to rebuild. Others wonder if they might target guys like Cole Makar or Kaapo Kakko, though those names are just speculation.

'It's hard to walk away from Perry': Edmonton Oilers may re-sign Corey Perry in the 2025-2026 NHL season
(Image via Getty: Corey Perry) Losing five Stanley Cup Finals in the last six years has only made Corey Perry come out of the shackles of retirement more than ever. When a reporter asked him about retirement, he gladly said, 'Not really. It's just not in me to think about it. I love playing. I love being around the room. And I don't think that's going to come in my head anytime soon either. It's just who I am.' The reporter nudged further for a definitive answer, 'Going back next year?' Corey Perry, without a doubt, promptly replied, 'That's the plan. To be back next year.' The Edmonton Oilers have an interest in re-signing their 40-year-old ice hockey right winger Corey Perry David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period said the Edmonton Oilers have an interest in Corey Perry. Pagnotta said it's hard to walk away from Perry, considering the production he had in his regular season and postseason. In just 12 minutes of 81 NHL regular games, he garnered 19 goals, 11 assists, and 30 points. For the postseason, he accumulated 10 goals and 14 points in 22 games. Pagnotta further said it's not unrealistic to say that Corey Perry may sign for a league-minimum deal. If he can produce half of what he did in the 2024-2025 NHL season, he's absolutely worth keeping. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ductless Air Conditioners Are Selling Like Crazy [See Why] Keep Cool Click Here Undo Corey Perry has lost 5 of the last 6 SCFs 😬 Bob Stauffer, former NHL general manager, said that Perry could return to the Oilers, but it would cost them $2 million because he made $1.15 million in the 2024-2025 NHL season. Stauffer gave his reasons on 880 CHED and the Edmonton Oilers' Oilers NOW, 'I love Corey Perry, personally. But I do not believe they can go to that level. They may be able to do it through bonuses or disguise it. But on a straight AAV(average annual value) for managing their cap, the reality is, even though we're going up to $95.5 million, it's still not enough where you can be sloppy anywhere in your efficiency on your roster. ' What did Corey Perry have to say about staying with the Edmonton Oilers? RAW | Corey Perry 06.19.25 Corey Perry addressed the media on June 19 where he put forth his interest in continuing with the Edmonton Oilers. 'I would love to stay here. But I'll let the higher-ups do the rest of the talking and do all that. I thought my play was - you know, I went out, left everything on the ice, everything I could give, and I let that do a lot of the talking. We'll see where it goes, and hopefully, we're back.' When a reporter asked him about his fifth loss at the Stanley Cup Finals in the last six years, Corey said, 'Yeah, it's devastating. Five of the last six. It doesn't get any easier. It doesn't feel real. You get ready, and you move on. You get ready for next season. Hopefully, you have that opportunity again.'

NHL Trade Rumors: Teams eye Mika Zibanejad as Rangers weigh surprise trade option
NHL Trade Rumors: Teams eye Mika Zibanejad as Rangers weigh surprise trade option (Image via Getty) David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has brought a huge update regarding Mika Zibanejad. Despite Zibanejad having a no-move clause in his deal, Pagnotta states some teams might still attempt to acquire him. The New York Rangers would have to get Mika Zibanejad's permission prior to any trade. He has complete authority wherever he goes. But following another playoff defeat, some think changes might ensue. Pagnotta describes this as the potential surprise of the offseason. Mika Zibanejad's playoff performance and a contract could spark big offseason decision Mika Zibanejad is among the top performers for the New York Rangers since he arrived with them in 2016. He is a center who scores frequently. He also assists his teammates by providing assists. In the regular season, he is extremely consistent. But in the 2024 playoffs, he did not score enough. People were disappointed, and most pundits stated that top players should deliver in big games. Mika Zibanejad's deal is big and goes several more years. It also has a no-move clause. That is, he cannot be traded unless he is willing to be. But from Pagnotta, teams can still call the Rangers and inquire. If the Rangers need to clear some salary cap room, they can contact Mika Zibanejad and see if he would consider moving. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Clean Warehouses = Safe Workplaces SearchMore Learn More Undo That does not guarantee a trade will occur. But it indicates the Rangers are considering making some difficult choices. They need space in the budget to acquire young players like Alexis Lafreniere and to create improved depth in the lineup.

Chris Kreider is another elite player who has a long contract. He has played for the Rangers for more than 10 years and is extremely loyal to them. But if the Rangers seek a new face, he could also be asked about a potential trade. Kaapo Kakko is another name to consider. He is still young and has not scored too many goals. His name comes up when trade rumors begin. He may be included in a trade if the Rangers want to make some new additions. Teams in need of power centers, such as the Boston Bruins or Colorado Avalanche, may be calling on Zibanejad. Despite a no-trade clause some trades occur if the player happens to agree. This is one story that will be worth following throughout the coming weeks.
