In another NHL Trade Talk Recap (Dec. 9), the Senators and Rangers have been involved in friction due to tampering accusations. Both teams fired heated speculation over “soft tampering” claims. The Oilers face tough decisions. Viktor Arvidsson’s injury news gives them options and challenges; while their defense draws praise, analysts question its long-term sustainability.

For the Canucks, J.T. Miller’s coming return sparks intrigue about his potential impact on Vancouver’s playoff hopes. The Maple Leafs are exploring ways to address their scoring woes, possibly looking to Max Pacioretty as a solution. They remain intrigued by Jacob Trouba if the Ducks open trade talks.

For the Predators, Barry Trotz’s return as a coach is debated, with fans wondering if he should step behind the bench again.
