Werenski Blocks Dallas Trade, Extending Columbus Exit Saga

Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski reportedly blocked a trade to the Dallas Stars that would have sent Thomas Harley to Columbus, despite the Jackets having agreed to move him; Werenski supposedly prefers an Eastern Conference destination, and the leaked framework has strained their relationship as training camp approaches. The Stars have also seen another blockbuster deal fall apart with Jason Robertson, signaling a turbulent offseason for Dallas.

Werenski Watch: Eight Teams Circling Columbus as Trade Talk Heats Up

Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski, the Norris Trophy winner who won’t re-sign with the Jackets when his contract ends in 2028, has trade talks starting to pick up. GM Don Waddell is seeking an NHL-player–heavy package (not futures) and has spotlighted eight potential destinations—Philadelphia, Dallas, Carolina, San Jose, Toronto, Boston, Anaheim, and Detroit—each evaluated for fit and return:value. With Werenski’s no-move clause until 2027 (and a 10-team no-trade window after) and Kirill Marchenko’s looming free-agent status, Columbus could pivot to a high-priced, roster-strengthening deal rather than a rebuild, following a Nash-era blueprint of demanding impact players in return.

Chychrun Overlooked as Norris Trophy Balloting Ignores Goals Leader

Jakob Chychrun led all NHL defensemen in goals (26) and tallied 60 points in 80 games, yet he received zero votes on the 2026 Norris Trophy ballots. Zach Werenski won with 113 first-place votes. Chychrun’s production—23:20 of ice time and 18+ even-strength goals—made him the lone post-lockout defender with at least 18 such goals to earn zero Norris votes, a notable snub in a year with several 20-goal defenders receiving recognition. Capitals’ voters were not represented on the PHWA ballot.

Dahlin Named Norris Finalist as Sabres Chase Historic First

Rasmus Dahlin was named a Norris Trophy finalist (and a Masterton finalist) after a career-best 74-point season that helped Buffalo win the Atlantic Division and reach the playoffs for the first time since 2011. He led in hits and 5-on-5 puck battles, earned praise for his two-way game, and balanced on-ice excellence with his fiancée’s emergency heart transplant recovery, underscoring his perseverance and impact on the Sabres.

Hart-Vs-Norris Duel Looms as NHL Awards Watch Heads into Final Stretch

In its fourth NHL Awards watch, the piece analyzes the major trophy races with analytics: Kucherov and MacKinnon duel for the Hart, a deep Norris field led by Makar with Werenski a strong challenger, Seider and others in the mix, Schaefer as the clear Calder front-runner, Thompson and Sorokin atop the Vezina conversation, and Kucherov pacing the Art Ross with Caufield pushing toward 50 goals in the Rocket Richard race. It emphasizes that two-way play and context matter just as much as scoring as the season nears its end and ballots tighten.
