The Angels, on the other hand, can shake up the market by selling.

Prime Video is in the business of romance. You might say that romance is their main business, considering how well romance series perform on the platform. Most of the romances are young adult stories, attracting young adult viewers who then blow it all up on socials but the fact of the matter is that it’s not just 20-somethings who are watching these shows. The series that’s had the most success, at least so far, is The Summer I Turned Pretty, and much of the core audience for the se

In just over 36 hours, Patrik Laine's time in Montreal will officially come to an end. The Finnish player will become a free agent at noon on Wednesday… and he'll be able to continue his career elsewhere.
Forget about the possibility of him returning to Montreal next year—it's not going to happen.
The question now is where he'll end up. And for a while now, the Los Angeles Kings have frequently been mentioned as a team to watch.
And tonight, David Pagnotta touched on the Laine situa

Ariana Grande’s ex Ricky Alvarez was seen at her show in Austin and she made a slight lyric change to, “thank you, next” to reference their current relationship (“he still has my back”). She is typically not one to linger or repeat exes. They could actually be just friends, possibly maybe. But she really does keep it interesting.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande)

It's now official: Brendan Gallagher is no longer a member of the Canadiens organization. The small forward has been traded to the Canucks, where he'll take on a mentoring role for a team in the midst of a rebuild.
Will he have a letter (and maybe even the “C”) on his jersey there? That's the question.
And of course, it's an emotional day for Gally. The little warrior took the time to thank the fans as well as everyone he's worked with within the organization over the past 14 years.

Austin Naylor and Josh Naylor have often played together.
In 2019 and 2020, they were teammates in San Diego. They were traded together to Cleveland during the 2020 season.
They played together in Ohio in 2020, 2021, 2022, and even in 2024, when the catcher returned to the Guardians organization.
But does that mean they get along? The answer is clearly no.
I say this because in yesterday's game between the Guardians and the Mariners—Naylor's new team—the two men got into a major heat

The Detroit Lions made a drastic decision by terminating Terrion Arnold‘s contract just a few hours after he was released on bail.The 23-year-old cornerback, considered one of the organization's top prospects, now faces a series of criminal charges that seriously jeopardize his future in the NFL.
According to several U.S. media outlets, the franchise chose to sever ties with the former first-round pick in the 2024 draft following developments in the legal case. Arnold is facing eight charg

All my fellow Love Island USA stans were fed well last night because there were so many alums from previous seasons at the BET Awards. In fact, with Megan Thee Stallion skipping the awards to appear on the current season of the show, it really did feel like both broadcasts were blending into one. Love Island USA favourites have become legit celebrities now.

The Canadiens’ development camp will take place this week in Brossard.
Tomorrow, the players will head to the CN Complex for physical testing, while Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to on-ice practices.
There will be an intra-squad game on Thursday, as is the case every year.
For the 2026 camp, it's worth noting that five of the organization's top prospects will be in attendance. Who are they?
I'm talking about Alexander Zharovsky, Michael Hage, Bryce Pickford, LJ Mooney… and

Almost immediately after the New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza, several big names were mentioned as potential candidates for the full-time manager position in the Big Apple.
Albert Pujols confirmed during an appearance on MLB Network earlier this week that he would be interested in the job.
And now David Ross has told Dan Martin of the New York Post ahead of Sunday night's MLB game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees that he'd like a shot at the job.I hope they call. Tha

It’s been more than a year since Cardi B graced an awards show stage. She’s been a busy girl in that time, releasing her sophomore album Am I The Drama?, having another baby, and going on a sold out arena tour.
Her performance at the BET Awards was teased early on and came up a lot on the red carpet, which Cardi skipped, likely for dramatic effect and so that her performance would be the main event.CHECK PLEASE 🧾 because @iamcardib ate this performance. #BETAwards pic.twitter

There you go. It’s now confirmed.
Canadiens GM Kent Hughes announced Monday that the club had submitted qualifying offers to eight players in the Montreal organization.
Who are they?
Ultimately, it's worth noting that Kirby Dach, Zachary Bolduc, and Arber Xhekaj are among the players on the list. As for the rest… here's the breakdown:Kirby Dach

The British Columbia Lions have decided to make their first major change to their coaching staff.
The Canadian Football League (CFL) organization announced the immediate departure of Cory McDiarmid, who served as special teams coordinator.
In a statement, General Manager Ryan Rigmaiden explained that this decision was made in the best interest of the team. He also thanked McDiarmid for his work and dedication to the organization, though he did not provide further details on the reasons behind th

Starting July 1, Ivan Demidov will be able to sign a contract extension with the Canadiens.
Will it happen quickly? Or will we have to wait until October, as was the case with Lane Hutson in 2025?
We have more details on that front today.
According to a recent article by Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic), Demidov's camp and the Canadiens have already begun talks. They aren't necessarily close to a deal at the moment, but the fact that negotiations have already started… is good news in itself.

Every BET Awards has a surprise appearance from an icon that gets the entire room on their feet in absolute awe. This year it was Janet Jackson and I think we can all agree that it doesn’t get bigger. Janet walked the red carpet in a 2Pac t-shirt, a tightly-cinched belt with black trousers and an over-the-top fedora, veil and all. 2Pac of course was Janet’s co-star in Poetic Justice, we love a sentimental easter egg. This July marks 30 years since the release of the movie, making thi

Dear Gossips,Bowen Yang was the Grand Marshal at NYC Pride yesterday and, well, he looked like he had the best gay time encouraging others to have their best gay time. Bowen wore a white tee under his rainbow sash, with two Chinese characters printed across his chest: 同志.In the past, 同志 used to mean “comrade” but for almost 50 years, it’s been used colloquially to mean 2SLGBTQ+. The direct translation of 同志 is “same will” or

After holding their own early on during Captain Aaron Judge's absence, things haven't been going well for the New York Yankees lately—they've lost eight of their last eleven games.
And yesterday's game against their longtime rivals, the Boston Red Sox, was no exception. It started with Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was ejected in the seventh inning.
Former Bombardiers player Anthony Rizzo took the opportunity to point out the second baseman's lack of maturity.That shows a bit of immaturity. The t

National League trade.
The Anaheim Ducks traded Radko Gudas's rights to Florida… in exchange for those of A.J. Greer.
The forward's name has been circulating quite a bit in Montreal in recent weeks because he has an interesting profile for the Canadiens… and because he was set to become a unrestricted free agent on July 1.
But it's ironic because Gudas's name has also been linked to the Habs recently. He, too, would have helped the Canadiens fill a certain need on the right side of

Former NFL star Chris Johnson has publicly announced that he has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neurodegenerative disease.The 40-year-old former running back chose to share his story to raise public awareness of the disease while demonstrating his determination to keep fighting.
During a television interview, Johnson explained that he received his diagnosis last year. Despite the initial shock, he says he quickly realized he had to choose between giving up or fighting. He chos

It's the end of an era in Montreal.
Brendan Gallagher has finally been traded to the Vancouver Canucks: he'll be able to be closer to his family while taking on a more prominent role with a National Hockey League team.
He must be thrilled.
Of course, you'll understand that Gally's trade will have an impact on the Canadiens' payroll. The Habs retained 50% of his salary in the deal, but now that the veteran is gone, the Montreal club has exactly $14,233,924 in cap space available for next season.

Zach Werenski and Kirill Marchenko appear to be on their way out of Columbus.
Of course, the situation is well known. The fact that these two stars don't seem eager to extend their stays in Ohio is a hot topic in the NHL.
This could be a game-changer on many levels.
Everyone is wondering why the guys want to leave. Does the fact that the Blue Jackets aren't in the NHL's most attractive market have anything to do with it?
Perhaps, yes.
But is it possible that the Blue Jackets haven't had a good t

To say that things are going badly for the Blue Jays right now is pretty accurate.
After winning last Monday against the Astros, the Blue Jays have lost six straight games: two against the Astros and four against the Rangers, including yesterday afternoon.
The team now has a 39-45 record. And even though the American League standings are tight, it's looking less and less likely that this team can accomplish anything.
Actually, that's not true: it's very clear how they can. If Vladimir Guerrero J

A new chapter begins.

The Washington Commanders continue to be the talk of the NFL offseason.After a relatively quiet free-agent market on the offensive side of the ball, several analysts believe the team could now explore the possibility of a major trade to add another weapon to its offense.
Among the scenarios being discussed, one name keeps coming up: Garrett Wilson, the star wide receiver for the New York Jets. According to some analyses published in the United States, the player could become an attractive target

It's the end of the road for Joshua Roy with the Canadiens.
According to Renaud Lavoie, the Quebec native has been traded to the Utah Mammoth. It remains to be seen whether he'll have more opportunities there to play in the National Hockey League.

Do you have children? If so, you've surely heard one of them complain about the other's behavior… after starting the fight themselves.“Dad, Médéric hit me!”
“OK, but why did you take his toy from him just before that?”NHL team owners are just the same:“Gary, you absolutely have to find a way to implement a fixed salary cap.”However, the cap was implemented because a guy like Glen Sather in New York had promised Bobby Holik the moon. In sho

Dylan Larkin wants to leave Detroit. Everyone knows it.
It's also becoming increasingly clear that there's a good chance Zach Werenski will be traded by the Blue Jackets. He doesn't want to stay in Columbus long-term.
They're currently two of the biggest names on the market.
Is it possible that the two—who are good friends—could end up on the same team? Elliotte Friedman, on the 32 Thoughts podcast, speculated on this.
That would be intense, but fun to watch.32 Thoughts Monday mornin

A new chapter is beginning for the Dallas Cowboys.Veteran C.J. Goodwin, recognized as one of the NFL's top special teams specialists, has decided to retire from professional football after a career spanning more than a decade.
At 36, Goodwin was still a free agent as he considered his future. According to several U.S. media outlets, he ultimately chose to end his run in the National Football League, bringing to a close a career built on hard work and perseverance.

This morning on BPM Sports, Anthony Marcotte floated an idea that's interesting for the Canadiens.
What if Kent Hughes called the Columbus Blue Jackets to see if the excellent Adam Fantilli might be an option on the trade market?
Why not!Kent Hughes' job is to talk to the other 31 teams to see who might be available. It's about discussing players who aren't necessarily on the market (at least not publicly), but who could help.
And clearly, Fantilli falls into that category.
Drafted two spots ahe

The Montreal Alouettes may have added a win to their record, but for Davis Alexander, the result does not reflect the level of excellence expected of the team.In the wake of a narrow 37-35 win, the quarterback looked grim, unable to hide his frustration over the numerous mistakes made during the game.
For Alexander, the Alouettes once again let a comfortable lead slip away—a scenario that has been repeating itself since the start of the season. After dominating much of the game, Montreal a

Today is June 29. In two days, the free agency market will open.
We'll obviously be keeping an eye on whether Kent Hughes manages to make any moves by then. After all, even if the free-agent market isn't the strongest in 2026, it still helps solidify a few teams.
Making moves right after that isn't as easy. Not impossible, of course… but not as easy.
One name that continues to be mentioned in rumors is Kirill Marchenko. Word on the street is that the Canadiens remain at the center of the

Vincent Trocheck's name has been mentioned in trade rumors all over the place, even in Montreal.
On the one hand, it makes sense for the Habs, because he's an experienced and versatile center who could very well fill the need for a second-line center.
However, while we shouldn't necessarily assume the Habs are completely out of the picture, the odds are slim.
Well, those chances have now diminished even further following what Frank Seravalli reported on the latest episode of Frankly Hockey.
