John Klingberg (Darren Dreger)
- 5-7 teams now in the mix for him
- Had hip resurfacing surgery in the fall of 2023
- Would put the front runners as the Maple Leafs with the Oilers & Senators as honourable mentions
Vancouver Canucks (Chris Johnston)
- Sense that the Canucks are holding things up with having Miller & Pettersson on the market
- League-wide sense that Miller is the more likely of the two to get traded
- Teams believe that if it’s the right situation, Miller would waive his NMC
- Not might not see other action across the league until this is dealt with
- Could take some time before something happens
Calgary Flames (Pierre LeBrun)
- No interest in trading Rasmus Andersson; Flames are confused as to why other teams are calling on him
- Want to extend Andersson this summer
- Don’t want to tear down the roster
Los Angeles Kings (Darren Dreger)
- Eager to get Drew Doughty back from ankle surgery
- Expected to rejoin the kings in a non-contact jersey as early as next week
- Are hoping he makes it back to the lineup before the 4 Nations Tournament
Dallas Stars (Pierre LeBrun)
- Thinks the stars will add a top-6 forward and top-4 defencemen before the trade deadline
- Haven’t placed Tyler Seguin’s cap hit on LTIR because they are trying to accrue cap space
