NHL Rumor Roundup: Canadiens Eyeing Mark Scheifele? Could The Stars Trade Jason Robertson?

The Montreal Canadiens are reportedly interested in Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele, who is signed through 2030-31 with an $8.5 million average annual value and has a full no-movement clause until July 2027. The Jets are in a standoff with starting goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who requested a trade and is suspended without pay, potentially influencing decisions about Scheifele. Trade speculation involves the Canadiens possibly acquiring Scheifele for players including Oliver Kapanen, Michael Hage, Kirby Dach, or Samuel Montembeault.
