Very serious jockeying for position has already started in the EURO League leading up to Season 5. Some of the best teams in the league have acquired some of the league’s premier players in trades, and we still have a free agent frenzy to play out. In the Northern Conference, all 8 playoff teams have…
Max Pacioretty assisted on two goals scored by longtime linemates Steven Stamkos and Claude Giroux when the Inferno defeated Milan 6-3 on Sunday, but he won’t feed them any more passes. About five hours after the game, it was announced that Pacioretty has been traded to the defending champion Moscow Spartak. Moscow gave up plenty…
Edinburgh 5, Helsinki 3 – The Edinburgh Capitals made a 2-point move up the standings and a major move in their lineup Thursday. After handing the reeling Jokerit their 13th loss in the last 16 games thanks to 5 points from John Tavares, Edinburgh added a superstar to the lineup in a trade with Madrid.…
Three more trades to report on during the draft, as three teams were involved in a round robin of deals. The latest trade occurred this morning and saw Shane Doan, captain of the Stockholm Eagles, depart with unsigned free agent teammates Anton Babchuk and Corey Potter. The trio is now property of the Bern Bears…
Nine more teams made trades Sunday and Monday to bring the total of off-season deals to 10. One deal saw two big, tough, young forwards go from Helsinki to Frankfurt in exchange for Travis Zajac, a 29-year-old who becomes Helsinki’s second line center.

One of the best teams in the EURO league since its inception three seasons ago looks like it’s changing course. The Copenhagen Tridents, under the direction of GM Dylan Callow, has flirted with the Cup every year but has never been able to latch onto it. They had 108 points in Season 1 to finish…
It’s either that nobody wants Shea Weber, or everybody wants him. Our guess is the latter. For the second time in 35 days, the perennial all-star defenseman has been traded. Copenhagen becomes the third Ahearne Division team Weber has played for this season. The Tridents wanted the 28-year-old badly, sending promising Kevin Shattenkirk, 24, and…
Twenty-six games into Season 3 of the EURO League and unhappy with his team’s place in the standings, Oslo General Manager Chris Lee has made a major trade with an Ahearne Division rival. Thinking more long-term, Lee shipped marquee players Pavel Datsyuk and Shea Weber to London today in exchange for promising youngsters Tyler Seguin…
Another 2-for-1 trade has sent a star forward out of Stockholm. Rick Nash has been traded to Madrid for Jeff Carter and young Ryan Johansen in a deal that also involves an exchange of draft picks. A day earlier, the Eagles acquired James Van Riemsdyk and Marcus Johansson from Moscow for Dustin Brown. That means…
Moscow and Paris are in a horse race for the President’s Trophy and at the first quarter pole, it’s Spartak by a nose. A trade made Sunday by Moscow GM Michael Banker has a make-or-break feel to it. Dustin Brown, a proven leader with an NHL Stanley Cup on his resume, has made his way…
