One day after his promotion, new Buffalo Sabres GM Jarmo Kekäläinen addressed the media, emphasizing team character and consistency to end the 14-year playoff drought. He praised the roster's talent, supported coach Lindy Ruff pending review, and highlighted positive underlying metrics amid a middling season start.
The Colorado Rockies' new president of baseball operations, Paul DePodesta, and manager Warren Schaeffer addressed the team's direction in a Wednesday press conference. Following a franchise-record 119 losses in 2025, they emphasized blending institutional knowledge with fresh perspectives to build a winning culture. Schaeffer's retention as manager for 2026 highlights continuity amid changes.

The Vancouver Canucks are listening to trade offers on veteran players as they navigate a disappointing 9-12-2 start to the season. Management aims to get younger without a full rebuild, but potential moves could jeopardize efforts to retain captain Quinn Hughes. Hughes, entering the final year of his contract next season, has expressed interest in possibly joining his brothers with the New Jersey Devils.
