NHL trade rumors are heating up as the Detroit Red Wings reportedly make a push for Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson. With the 25-year-old entering restricted free agency and seeking a major payday, the Islanders may be open to moving him—and Detroit is among the first teams to inquire.
Reports suggest the Red Wings have offered a package including J.T. Compher, Jonatan Berggren, and draft picks. A potential deal could shake up both teams' blue line plans heading into the 2025 season.
Islanders may trade Noah Dobson as Red Wings enter talks with major offer
Following earlier reports by NHL insider Elliotte Friedman that the Islanders were exploring the trade market for their top blueliner, more specifics are starting to surface. According to Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News, Detroit has formally inquired about Dobson's availability, and they've already floated a package in hopes of landing the 25-year-old restricted free agent.

Rosner confirmed the interest via X (formerly Twitter), noting, 'The Detroit Red Wings have inquired about New York Islanders pending restricted free agent defenseman Noah Dobson. Reporter Bob Duff cites that Elliotte Friedman stated that Detroit's offer includes forwards J.T. Compher and Jonatan Berggren, with draft picks also likely being part of the discussion.'
If accurate, the Red Wings' offer appears to balance veteran experience with young potential—a strategy GM Steve Yzerman has leaned into during Detroit's rebuild.

But whether it will be enough to entice the Islanders to part with their top-pairing defenseman is far from certain.
Noah Dobson's contract demands could be the trade tipping point
Dobson is coming off the final year of a three-year, $12 million extension signed in 2022 and is now a pending RFA. What's fueling the trade buzz even more is his rumored contract ask.
According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, 'We mentioned his initial ask was $11 million per season, which will obviously come in quite lower on the next new deal… But will it be on the Island?'
Currently, only Erik Karlsson, Drew Doughty, and Rasmus Dahlin make $11 million or more per year among NHL defensemen. While Dobson has flashed elite offensive upside—scoring 70 points while logging 23 minutes per game—his price tag and the Islanders' recent draft lottery win may force GM Mathieu Darche to make a bold decision.

Her touching farewell post, filled with special memories and moments with fellow Stars families, struck a deep chord across the NHL world and turned their goodbye into a viral moment. Alexis Marchment says goodbye to Dallas in emotional post The NHL offseason has brought plenty of shakeups, but few were as emotional as Mason Marchment's trade from the Dallas Stars to the Seattle Kraken earlier this week. As the forward prepares for a new chapter in Seattle, his wife Alexis Marchment (Lexy) took to social media on Friday to share a touching farewell to the city and team that became home for the past three years. In a carousel of Instagram photos, Alexis shared personal highlights from their time in Dallas, including behind-the-scenes moments with fellow Stars families, locker room celebrations, Halloween memories, and playoffs traditions. Her caption was short but heartfelt: 'Thanks for the mems, Dallas.' The post struck a chord not just with fans, but with other NHL families. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger's wife, Kennedi, replied with a comment that summed up the sentiment shared across the Stars' circle: 'Crying all over again.' Mason Marchment heads to Seattle with one year left on his contract Mason Marchment, who signed with the Stars in 2022, played three solid seasons in Dallas, contributing both physically and offensively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Santiago (ver precio) Verisure Alarmas Leer más Undo The 6-foot-4 forward had one year remaining on his contract with a $4.5 million cap hit when the trade was finalized.

Matthew Tkachuk emotional gesture for wheelchair-bound fan into Panthers' victory parade is winning hearts
Tkachuk's heartfelt parade moment with superfan steals spotlight (Image via: Getty Images) During the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup victory parade, Matthew Tkachuk made headlines for more than just hockey. He invited longtime fan Cesar Lucero, who lives with a rare bone condition, to join the celebration. The gesture quickly went viral and added a personal, emotional highlight to the Panthers' second straight championship win. Matthew Tkachuk 's touching gesture goes viral at Panthers parade In a moment that transcended hockey, Florida Panthers superstar Matthew Tkachuk paused the championship celebrations to recognize a fan who has endured more than most — Cesar Lucero, a motivational speaker, high school football coach, and lifelong Panthers supporter battling osteogenesis imperfecta. "My escape from all the pain and suffering was watching sports,' Lucero shared in 2024, describing how his love for the Panthers gave him strength through his toughest days. The Florida native, who's supported the Cats since 1996, finally saw his team lift the Stanley Cup not once, but twice and this time, he got to be part of the celebration in the most unforgettable way. During the Panthers' 2025 championship parade on Fort Lauderdale Beach, Tkachuk spotted Lucero along State Road A1A. Without hesitation, the NHL All-Star stopped the flow of the parade to invite Lucero in his wheelchair into the celebration. The moment, captured in X (formerly Twitter) post, lit up social media: 'One of many awesome moments from today. @TKACHUKycheese_ noticed @BigCeaz and immediately came over to let him into the parade. Game knows game!' Lucero missed the 2023 playoffs after falling into a coma caused by complications from surgery. But in 2024, he was back on his feet and wheels to witness the Panthers win their first-ever Stanley Cup. 'Seeing them win the Stanley Cup was something I've never dreamed about. Just so much emotion,' Lucero said after last year's win. Now, seeing the Cats defend their title in 2025, the emotional payoff is beyond words. And with Matthew Tkachuk by his side this time, the moment became even more unforgettable. Back in May, CBS Sports even dubbed Lucero the 'secret weapon' behind Florida's playoff magic. And while NHL analyst Paul Bissonnette — a Maple Leafs fan — tried mocking the Cats throughout their run, Lucero had the last laugh as Florida eliminated Toronto again. Tkachuk wins over Coach Maurice with more than just goals Interestingly, Panthers head coach Paul Maurice once admitted he 'hated' Tkachuk when coaching the Winnipeg Jets. 'And then you meet him and go, 'My God, what a wonderful human being,'' Maurice later confessed. This latest gesture may have further cemented Tkachuk's place in the hearts of fans and perhaps, even in Coach Maurice's long-term vision. Also Read: Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner projected to land record-breaking $14M NHL contract While the celebration had its share of jabs at the Edmonton Oilers including a cheeky sushi order mocking the Oilers' Game 5 reservations, it was Tkachuk's act of compassion that elevated the parade to something truly memorable. Because in the end, championships come and go, but moments like this endure forever. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here .

"Apologize to absolutely f-----g no one": Sam Bennett fires back at ‘dirty play' claims during Panthers parade with a savage Connor McGregor twist
Sam Bennett turns parade moment into mic-drop moment over 'dirty' accusations against Panthers (Imagn Images) The city of Fort Lauderdale was once again painted in Panthers' red and black as the Florida Panthers celebrated their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship with an epic victory parade on Sunday. The team's electrifying 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 on Tuesday night officially sealed their championship run, but the celebrations were just beginning. Panthers enforcer Sam Bennett has one savage message for fans who call their play 'dirty' Thousands of fans lined the streets to cheer on their hockey heroes as players danced, shouted, and partied their way down the beachfront. It wasn't just a moment of celebration—it was a statement. Florida's reign over the NHL isn't a fluke. It's a culture. No one embodied that bold spirit more than forward Sam Bennett. Fresh off a phenomenal postseason run that saw him net 15 goals, Bennett didn't hold back when he took the microphone during the parade. The playoff MVP had a fiery message for critics who label the Panthers as overly aggressive on the ice. 'A lot of people don't like the way we play. They call us dirty. They call us nasty. They call us bullies,' Bennett shouted, rallying the crowd. 'So I would like to take this time to apologize to absolutely f------ no one. We are the double champs. We do what the f--- we want. Let's go!' His words sent fans into a frenzy and added another unforgettable moment to an already legendary championship celebration. Bennett, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, has made his desire clear—he wants to stay with the Panthers. If he does, Florida could be eyeing a historic three-peat next season. The back-to-back Stanley Cup titles have not only cemented Florida's place in NHL history but also ignited a powerful sense of pride in the community. The energy in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday felt less like a sports parade and more like a city-wide festival of dominance. With stars like Bennett leading the charge, the Panthers aren't just champions—they're building a dynasty.
