The New Jersey Devils are actively looking to move defenseman John Marino, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.

The Devils also reportedly remain open to moving the 10th overall pick in Friday's first round.

The Vancouver Canucks are among the teams in the mix for Marino, Seravalli adds. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin confirmed that pending unrestricted free-agent defenseman Nikita Zadorov will head to the open market Monday.

Allvin and Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford both know Marino well from their time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where Marino spent the first three seasons of his career.

Marino recorded 25 points in 75 games with the Devils in 2023-24 while averaging 20:57 per contest. He isn't overly big or physical, but he's routinely posted strong defensive metrics throughout his five-year NHL career.

The Devils acquired Marino from the Penguins in 2022 for a third-round pick and Ty Smith.

Marino, 27, has three years left on his contract with a $4.4-million cap hit.

Moving Marino would create another hole on the Devils' blue line after the team traded away Kevin Bahl in the Jacob Markstrom deal.

The Los Angeles Kings traded forward Carl Grundstrom to the San Jose Sharks for defenseman Kyle Burroughs, the teams announced Thursday.

Grundstrom recorded eight goals and four assists in 50 games last season while playing a fourth-line role. The 26-year-old is a high-energy, physical winger with limited offensive ability. He's a pending restricted free agent and is eligible for a $1.3-million qualifying offer.

Burrough tallied eight points and a minus-42 rating in 73 games with the Sharks last season while logging 19:09 per contest. The right-handed blue-liner is best served in a bottom-pairing role. The 28-year-old has two years left on his contract with a $1.1-million cap hit.

The New York Rangers asked Jacob Trouba's camp for the 15 teams on his no-trade list, reports The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

Trouba's contract changes from a full no-movement clause to a 15-team no-trade list Monday when the new league year begins.

Obtaining the no-trade list can be standard practice, but there's been speculation that Trouba, 30, could be moved this offseason. The Rangers captain has two seasons left on his deal and carries an $8-million cap hit.

The Rangers have a pair of younger, restricted free-agent defensemen in Ryan Lindgren and Braden Schneider needing new contracts. Trouba found himself on the third pairing at times during the postseason in favor of Schneider. Trouba's ice time dropped from 21:15 in the regular season to 20:59 in the playoffs, while Schneider's rose from 15:54 to 17:32.

Core players Igor Shesterkin, Alexis Lafreniere, and K'Andre Miller are also eligible to sign extensions July 1.

Trouba recorded 22 points in 69 games this past season. While he's known for his punishing, physical style of play, his underlying numbers were poor. He posted a minus-3.2 offensive goals above replacement and minus-2.3 defensive goals above replacement, per Evolving-Hockey.

The Rangers acquired Trouba in a 2019 trade with the Winnipeg Jets and promptly signed him to a seven-year, $56-million contract.

Trouba won the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2023-24.

The Dallas Stars are buying out the final year of Ryan Suter's contract, the team announced Friday.

The buyout will go as follows, per PuckPedia.

The Stars signed Suter to a four-year, $14.6-million contract as an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

The final four years of his previous contract - a 13-year, $98-million deal - was also bought out. Suter joins Tony DeAngelo are the only two players in NHL history to be bought out twice.

The 39-year-old recorded two goals and 15 assists while averaging 18:56 per contest in 2023-24. He added four more points in 19 postseason appearances.

While the offense from Suter's game is mostly gone, he still posted solid defensive metrics last season.

Suter's best trait is arguably his durability. He's played 453 consecutive games - the second-longest ironman streak among active players - and hasn't missed more than five games in a season since 2010-11.

Leon Draisaitl is set to enter the final year of his contract before he can become an unrestricted free agent in 2025, and he's eligible to sign an extension Monday.

This will undoubtedly loom over the Edmonton Oilers until it's resolved, but Draisaitl said Wednesday that he intends to take some time to formulate a plan.

"I'm gonna give you the most boring answer here," Draisaitl said. "I'm obviously gonna sit down with my agents here and talk to the Oilers and see what their plan is, see what our plan is, and just go from there."

Draisaitl is set to receive a sizeable raise from his current $8.5-million cap hit after producing his fifth 100-point season in the last six years. His next contract could potentially make him the NHL's highest-paid player - a distinction currently held by Auston Matthews and his $13.25-million cap hit.

"Obviously I haven't had any time to really think about it, it wasn't on my mind a lot lately," said Draisaitl, who was occupied with trying to help the Oilers win the Stanley Cup. "It's just something that's gonna take a little bit of time to figure out what I want, what the Oilers want, what everyone wants."

He added: "I love being an Oiler more than anything."

Draisaitl, the 2020 Hart Trophy winner, recorded 41 goals and 65 assists in 81 games in 2023-24. Though he was limited to zero goals and three assists in the Stanley Cup Final, he still finished the postseason with 31 points in 25 games while playing through rib and hand injuries.

Edmonton drafted Draisaitl third overall in 2014. He ranks sixth on the franchise's all-time points list with 850.

The Oilers will have immediate business to take care of, though, as they have several notable pending UFAs, including Warren Foegele, Adam Henrique, Connor Brown, Mattias Janmark, Corey Perry, and Vincent Desharnais. Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg are restricted free agents.

The Los Angeles Kings unveiled their new primary uniforms Wednesday.

Here's a look at the black home threads:

And here are the white away getups:

The uniform and logo designs are inspired by Los Angeles' uniforms worn from 1988-98, which includes the era in which Wayne Gretzky suited up for the Kings.

The Kings have worn a similar-looking white uniform as an alternate since 2021. It's also the jersey they wore on the road during the 2024 postseason.

New York Rangers senior adviser Glen Sather announced his retirement Wednesday.

Sather's NHL front-office career spanned over four decades, beginning as head coach and vice president of hockey operations with the Edmonton Oilers in 1979-80. He won five Stanley Cups with the Oilers - four as head coach, general manager, and president - and one more while holding the latter two titles.

"Slats" joined the Rangers organization in 2000-01, serving as president and GM until 2014-15. He oversaw two division titles and one Stanley Cup Final appearance over that time. He stayed on as president for three more years with Jeff Gorton as GM before transitioning into an advisory role in 2019-20.

"Having the opportunity to be associated with the National Hockey League, and specifically the New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers, has been one of the great privileges of my life," Sather said.

Sather played 10 NHL seasons from 1966-76 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a builder in 1997.

“The National Hockey League congratulates Glen Sather on his retirement and salutes him for his legendary career," commissioner Gary Bettman said. "Whether with the dynastic Edmonton Oilers teams of the 1980s, the contending New York Rangers clubs of recent years, or various iterations of Team Canada, Sather always showed a keen eye for elite talent and a deft touch for bringing out its best.

"As important, he cared deeply about his players as people, sought to develop them as men and supported them through any off-ice challenges."

The Winnipeg Jets are likely to trade top prospect Rutger McGroarty, sources told The Athletic's Murat Ates.

Winnipeg wanted to sign McGroarty following the 2023-24 NCAA campaign but was reportedly unwilling to promise a path to NHL playing time, so the 20-year-old opted to return to the University of Michigan for his junior year. The Jets would lose his rights if they don't sign him in the next two years.

The 20-year-old doesn't want out because of his views of the city of Winnipeg, Ates noted.

McGroarty's name has already come up in trade discussions, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported earlier Saturday, adding that the situation remains up in the air.

"Winnipeg really needs to re-visit its development plan," a source told Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press.

The Jets added veterans Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli up front for a deadline push, which notably forced 2020 No. 10 pick Cole Perfetti out of the lineup for all but one playoff game despite a 19-goal, 19-assist regular season. Winnipeg already has 12 forwards signed for next season, and that doesn't include restricted free agents Perfetti and David Gustafsson.

Winnipeg drafted McGroarty 14th overall in 2022. He recorded 52 points in 36 games for the Wolverines this past season.

The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed restricted free-agent winger Yegor Chinakhov to a two-year contract carrying an annual cap hit of $2.1 million, the team announced Friday.

He'll be an RFA at the end of the deal and can't become a UFA until 2028.

"Yegor is an outstanding young player who has shown steady improvement over his first three seasons with the organization," Blue Jackets president of hockey operations and general manager Don Waddell said. "We believe he has a chance to be a very good player for us and are excited about his continued growth as a Blue Jacket."

Chinakhov enjoyed a breakout year in 2023-24, producing 16 goals and 13 assists in 53 games. His 16 goals were fourth on the team.

The Blue Jackets drafted Chinakhov 21st overall in 2020. The 23-year-old has recorded 56 points in 145 career games.

The signing is Waddell's first since being hired by the Blue Jackets on May 28. He has several other RFAs to take care of, including Alex Nylander, Alexandre Texier, Kirill Marchenko, Cole Sillinger, Kent Johnson, and Jake Bean.
