Troy Terry has incredibly high potential in Anaheim, but after acquiring Chris Kreider, one insider has revealed that he may now be on the trade block.
The Anaheim Ducks have already made one solid move this offseason, as they acquired star forward Chris Kreider from the New York Rangers, adding plenty of grit and experience to this young, talented group.
With so much talent already up front before the NHL Draft and free agency, optimism continues to grow in Anaheim, with the belief that this team could be a surprise contender for a wild-card spot in the Western Conference next season.
Now however, a shocking report has come from insider Andy Strickland, who has now revealed that young forward Troy Terry is officially available for trade, even though some saw him as the next captain.
However, that was before the arrival of both Cutter Gauthier and Leo Carlsson, and while it's not been revealed why the Ducks would want to trade Terry, perhaps they belief he's the most expendable piece that could land them a very star moving forward.
Over his last three seasons, Terry has tallied a combined 64 goals, but the year before that he had a career high of 37, with the Ducks perhaps believing that Terry has peaked in the NHL at 27 years of age.
Overall, Terry could be a very valuable trade chip for a team that's ready to get better and take a huge leap forward in 2025-26, and while many believed it would be Trevor Zegras that gets moved, now, all signs are pointing to longtime Ducks forward Troy Terry, so this will be a key story to keep an eye on.

Kiefer Sherwood's Life-Changing Day at California's Exclusive Stonepine Estate Wows Fans
Canucks forward Kiefer Sherwood got married two weekends ago to his partner Ariela at a stunning California estate, and pictures have just surfaced online for fans. Vancouver Canucks player Kiefer Sherwood married his now wife, Ariela, in an intimate wedding in the Cherub Garden of Stonepine Estate, Carmel Valley, California. Ariela posted Instagram glimpses, ranging from vows exchanging and couples' photos to wedding photoshoot sneak peeks. Their pet dog, Luca, was featured numerous times, including once sitting with them. 'A dream come true - 07.26.25 The Sherwoods.' The day was filled with personal touches. Kiefer Sherwood's close friend and ex-Miami University teammate Karch Bachman officiated the ceremony. Ariela walked down the aisle to a violin rendition of Taylor Swift's 'Enchanted' played by Alan Milan, and the two exchanged handwritten vows. Sherwood and Ariela, together for four years and who celebrated their engagement in January, got engaged during a Turks and Caicos vacation this past year. Sherwood Just Completed His First Season With the Canucks Sherwood signed as a free agent with the Canucks on July 1, 2024, after time with the Nashville Predators. Ariela fondly remembered their inaugural year in Vancouver as a couple this offseason, posting pictures of hiking excursions with Luca against the backdrop of nature, sushi cafe nights, horseback rides, and sunset walks. She even uploaded news of her bachelorette party and seasonal memories, from cherry blossoms that opened and snowy cityscapes to Sherwood cuddling the two new puppies that they brought home just recently. Other moments captured were a boat tour on a sunny day, a dinner with friends, and a white dress mirror selfie. 'Same time next year?' she posted, referring to how much they've fallen in love with Vancouver life.
Patriots have big Drake Maye concern surface at Vikings' joint practice
Defense ruled the day during the joint practice between the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings. Per Chad Graff of The Athletic, the Patriots defense did a masterful job of disrupting Vikings second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy at Wednesday's practice. However, New England's offensive line was unable to allow Drake Maye to have enough time to finish plays. "Even with four new expected starters up front following last year’s debacle, Wednesday suggested that there will likely be some bumps ahead for this offensive line," Graff wrote. "Sure, going up against the Vikings was always going to be a difficult task. Greenard has been wrecking his own team’s practices in training camp, and everyone in New England knows how good Flores’ scheme can be. But the domination was so thorough by the Vikings’ front seven that three straight plays at one point would’ve resulted in a sack." Maye showed flashes of promise when he had time to throw downfield or was able to use his legs to buy time or scramble when pressure came. The concern is that the offensive line won't allow Maye enough time to even scramble so he can make throws. Graff has noticed the same issues that happened on Wednesday have been a constant at training camp against the Patriots defense. With a new-look offensive line that includes first-round pick Will Campbell at left tackle, the Patriots are expected to have some bumps at training camp and in September. New England's offense probably won't look great out of the gate while the offensive line develops in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' scheme. If and when the offensive line improves, Maye will have a chance to show off the arm that made him the No. 3 pick in 2024. For now, the offensive line is a concern much like it was last season.
Milwaukee Brewers: Bryan Reynolds Shows Respect for Brew Crew After Brutal Pirates Sweep
The Milwaukee Brewers may never lose ever again. Sure, that’s not going to happen, but the Brewers have indeed been the hottest baseball team today, and that continues to be the case following their completion of a three-game sweep of the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. After demolishing the Bucs on Tuesday to the tune of a 14-0 score, the Brewers wrecked the Pirates in the series finale, 12-5. Pittsburgh showed some fight, cutting a six-run lead down to a run after Bryan Reynolds’ back-to-back multi-RBI home runs in the fifth and the sixth inning, but the Brewers were simply too good and too hot for the Pirates. Brandon Woodruff had a solid start for the Brewers, pitching four scoreless innings before the bullpen gave up five earned runs to the Pirates, with Shelby Miller and Nick Mears struggling on the mound. Jared Koenig and Tobias Myers, however, combined to shut down the Pirates the rest of the way, as the Brewers collect their 76th win of the season. Reynolds praises Milwaukee Brewers after sweep Reynolds, who gave the Brewers lots of trouble by going 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBIs, had nothing but flowers to give to Milwaukee. “I don’t think anybody wants to play this team right now,” said Reynolds after the game, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. “We just ran into that. They’re a great team.” The Pirates will look to snap their five-game losing skid on Friday, when they face the Chicago Cubs in Windy City for a series opener. As for the Brewers, they will deal with the Cincinnati Reds next on the road, beginning on Friday as well.
Justin Jefferson Injury Update Leaves Minnesota Vikings Fans With A Mixed Bag Of Emotions
The Minnesota Vikings are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season, with fans eager to see how the team will perform under JJ McCarthy’s leadership. However, one storyline dominating training camp is Justin Jefferson’s hamstring injury. Arguably the best wide receiver in the league, Jefferson has been sidelined with the hope of a full recovery by Week 1. While updates on his rehab bring positive news, there are still concerns about how this will affect the Vikings’ season, particularly his chemistry with the team’s new quarterback. Here’s a deep dive into the positives, the challenges, and what it all means for the Vikings. The Good News: Justin Jefferson Is Progressing Head coach Kevin O’Connell recently provided an update on Jefferson’s recovery, noting that the receiver is progressing well and will be reassessed next week. For Vikings fans, this is the silver lining. The organization appears to be taking a cautious approach to ensure Jefferson is fully healed, as lingering issues with hamstring injuries have derailed seasons for even the best NFL players. O’Connell’s deliberate pacing suggests the team is focusing on the bigger picture—a healthy Jefferson navigating a 17-game season. After missing seven games in 2023 with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, the emphasis now is on preventing a repeat of that scenario. Leaving Jefferson out of practice and preseason games may seem frustrating, but it’s the smarter move considering his value to the team. With his track record of success, Jefferson doesn’t need extra reps to get up to speed and should be as dominant as ever once he returns to the field. The Concerns: Lingering Effects of the Injury Hamstring injuries, while often non-catastrophic, can be notoriously tricky. The soft tissue requires a delicate balance of rest and strengthening to avoid re-aggravation. The fact that Jefferson has dealt with hamstring issues before raises questions about whether this injury could linger. Given the missed time in training camp, Jefferson’s absence could even extend into the opening weeks of the season if the Vikings feel the need to be extra cautious. The team has a tough early schedule, and missing Jefferson against formidable defenses would significantly impact the offense’s explosiveness. Another concern is how Jefferson’s recovery might affect his usual sharpness. For a player who relies heavily on quick bursts, precise route-running, and agility, even slight discomfort could have an impact on his performance. Jefferson’s ability to separate from defenders makes him elite—any limitation in that department could be costly. The Chemistry Question with JJ McCarthy This offseason marked a monumental change for the Vikings with JJ McCarthy stepping in as the team’s quarterback. Developing chemistry between a quarterback and wide receiver duo is crucial, and every lost practice rep makes that process harder. McCarthy is a dynamic young talent, but he’s coming off a season-ending injury in 2024 and is still adjusting to the speed of the NFL game. While early preseason snaps have shown promise, the connection between McCarthy and Jefferson hasn’t been stress-tested enough to give fans full confidence yet. With Jefferson on the sideline and rookie receiver Jordan Addison suspended for the first three games, this puts even more pressure on McCarthy to adapt. Doubling down on their connection during training camp was a priority, but Jefferson’s absence forces a delay in that process. For now, McCarthy will build rapport with other playmakers like tight end TJ Hockenson, but it’s undeniable that Jefferson is the centerpiece of the offense. The earlier McCarthy and Jefferson can get meaningful reps together, the better the Vikings’ chances for a seamless start to the season. Why the Vikings’ Cautious Approach Is the Right Move While the concerns are real, this situation showcases the Vikings’ long-term thinking under Kevin O’Connell. Hamstring injuries demand respect—rushing back too soon can trigger setbacks that derail seasons. By prioritizing Jefferson’s long-term health over preseason scrimmages, the team is protecting its most valuable offensive asset. O’Connell has reiterated that the Vikings intend to compete for postseason success, not just early-season wins. This strategy, though frustrating for fans hungry to see Jefferson dominate, could help the team build toward sustained success over the course of a grueling season. Final Thoughts Justin Jefferson’s hamstring injury is a double-edged sword for the Vikings. On one hand, the careful management of his health inspires confidence that he’ll be ready to deliver highlight-reel performances when the games matter most. On the other hand, the lack of chemistry-building reps with JJ McCarthy raises questions about how quickly the offense can hit its stride. The Vikings are playing the long game, and that’s the right call. If Jefferson returns at 100% for Week 1, this moment of preseason adversity will feel like nothing more than a brief hiccup. If the injury lingers, however, it could magnify challenges for an offense that’s already adjusting to new leadership. For now, patience is the name of the game. Vikings fans should trust the organization to strike the balance between caution and urgency, as the ultimate goal remains deep postseason success with Jefferson as the team’s unstoppable playmaker.
