The NHL draft weekend is upon us, and the buzz in the trade market is reaching a fever pitch.

Trade rumors intensified on Thursday evening, particularly those about Dallas Stars left winger Jason Robertson.

Here's the latest on the notable stars in the rumor mill.

TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported the Buffalo Sabres have talked to the Jets about Hellebuyck. They're looking to add to their roster and have the fourth overall pick in the draft as a significant trade chip.

LeBrun also noted the rumors linking the 33-year-old goalie to the Florida Panthers but doubted they have sufficient trade capital to acquire him if they're unwilling to part with center Anton Lundell.

Meanwhile, Frank Seravalli of Hockey 24/7 claims the Carolina Hurricanes made a pitch this week for Hellebuyck. He believes defenseman Alexander Nikishin was part of their package offer.

Evidently, that wasn't sufficient for Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, who is listening to offers for Hellebuyck but hasn’t received anything yet to his liking.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Robertson rejected a trade to the Seattle Kraken.

The club received permission from the Stars to speak with the 26-year-old left winger, offering him an eight-year contract worth an average annual value of $15 million, but he's not interested in going to Seattle.

Robertson is an RFA with arbitration rights, and it appears he's played his final game with the Stars.

The Hockey News' Remy Mastey cited reports indicating the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues have made trade offers for McTavish.

It's believed Vincent Trocheck is not part of the Rangers' offer.

The Blues are seeking a second-line center and have four first-round picks in this year's draft to draw on for trade bait.

Peter Baugh and Vincent Z. Mercogliano reported Rangers GM Chris Drury still hopes to get a young NHL player as part of a package return for Trocheck.

The Minnesota Wild have faded as a destination, but several other clubs in need of a second-line center have expressed interest.

Drury might have to wait until Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin is traded before he can find a suitable deal for Trocheck.

Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reported Bruins GM Don Sweeney said all options remain on the table as he attempts to improve his roster, including moving a roster player.

Conroy speculated the Bruins are getting plenty of calls about Zacha, but Sweeney remains committed to getting the 29-year-old center signed to a contract extension.

Teams in the market for a top-six winger are calling about the 25-year-old Marchenko. Sportsnet's Eric Engels reported the Blue Jackets aren't shopping him. However, he's an RFA with arbitration rights next summer, so there's uncertainty over whether they can re-sign him if they don't improve this season.

The Montreal Canadiens were among the interested teams, but LeBrun said the Jackets gave them "a big fat no."
