Cost for Vatrano is high.
Henrique will be moved.
Interest in Sam Carrick.
Teams calling about Gudas, but they're not doing that.
If Gibson is moved, it's the offseason.
Don't be surprised if they (Ducks) keep adding veterans. They want good vets around their kids
Zegras - Teams have tried. It's hard to replace talent. Unless they get an offer they really like, they're going to give Zegras a chance to prove that he can, or can't do. They want him to bulk up and play more of a two-way game.
Calgary getting some love. Didn't hear anything about them potentially being interested in Harris, but I'm still working, so I go away from being able to hear fully.
Heard the deal (Markstrom) fell apart because Calgary saw how Markstrom and the team was playing and feel they could make the playoffs
Thinks the Oilers were in on Tanev and Tanev was intrigued about playing in Edmonton. (Maybe Edmonton goes after him in the offseason if he becomes a fa)
Oilers looking at Mantha, Guentzel, but they're not the most likely destination for him
Doesn't see Edmonton getting a goalie.
Marek - Think Campbell with retention could be a deal, or are teams waiting and seeing if they just buy him out.
Friedman - it's a big ask, that's a lot of money. Basically said nothing.
La - teams looking at Matt Roy - unlikely he's dealt. Also adds it's unlikely for Kaliyev. Thinks they'll stand pat, maybe do something minor.
There's not a lot there in San Jose and other contenders don't have much left in terms of assets that they're wanting to move.
Teams calling Seattle about their d, but Francis is telling them they like their d.
They want to keep Eberle and it might not even mean they'll sign him before the deadline. Also mentions that they might want to keep Eberle just so he reaches 1,000 games played.
Talked about keeping Wennberg
Vegas going to try and get the best forward they can and maybe more. Possibly 2 wingers
Coyotes - Zucker, Dumba, Bjugstad, Kerfoot are possibilities. Thinks the last 2 are less likely.
Chicago - a lot of their pieces have already been taken care of by re-signing. Colin Blackwell is a name. Thought about Murphy, but he's hurt, so doesn't think he will move. Possibly Tyler Johnson
Randomly adds that some teams have said they won't be quiet, this was when they switched to Colorado. Colorado is likely one of those teams. Looking at centres who haven't been on team's radars. Teams think Landeskog will be back. Thinks they're still looking for a goalie. Was hoping for Fleury.
Wild trying to re-sign Bogosian. Not doing anything short term. Duhaime is an interesting name, might be moved if the Wild can't sign him.
Deal for preds with Tomas Novak is done just waiting to announce it. Possible more players get signed. Don't be surprised if Novak is the only extension announced this week. Nashville could add.
Friedman doesn't know what they think when he watches the blues, so it seems he's not sure if they're sellers, buyers, or both.
They've had a lot of players available, but nothing so far. Now the guys who people are interested in, he's putting out there, but the prices are things people won't like
Blues trying to change their d core.
Jets - doesn't expect Winnipeg to do much more. Might look for another d and might look to make room for Perfetti, but that's more likely in the offseason for next season
Canes made a legit offer for Pettersson. Thinks the Canes will go for goal scoring. Pens want prospects, not picks for Guentzel and Carolina has one of the better prospect pools in the league. They might drop their rule of not paying for rentals, but they might change that this year.
Columbus might be waiting for the GM to make a move. Could do smaller ones like Provorov and Elvis, but any bigger ones likely won't happen until the offseason
Says the devils are focused and hope Markstrom is their goalie. If they can't do it this week, they'll do it in the offseason. So, if the devils don't go out and get a goalie with term, it's because they're going for Markstrom again.
Devils not too eager to move Toffoli, they're going to try and re-sign him
Islanders are up to... hard to know, Friedman says he doesn't expect them to sell things off. Says there doesn't seem to be anything around Nelson (Ha-Ah)
Flyers looking at goal and a veteran forward.
More than likely that Laughton stays. Adds to the above that if you see the flyers go after that, they're aiming for the playoffs.
Pens are very likely to be sellers and sell what they can.
Capitals are taking a step back, so sellers. No one was surprised that Kuznetsov cleared. If there was a trade for him, it would have happened. He expects there will be a buyout in the offseason, if he gets there. Mentioned there was a deal close at the draft last year of Duchene for Kuznetsov and the deal fell apart.
Says he could walk away from his last year, like Zadina, but mentions that's a lot of money. It's a possibility, but unlikely.
Boston is looking at hockey trades and looking at depth. Bruins investigated trading him and has to be somewhere he's willing to go.
Give Adams a reason now to trade Mittlestadt now. He's likely dealt in the offseason
Detroit maybe Guentzel, but they're working on Raymond Seider. Detroit looking at left shot d. Wonders if the wings are looking at a goalie, even if they have 3 already. Marek adds a dman with bite
Florida looking at the better forwards on the market. Not sure if they're looking at Hanifin. Mentions they would like to get Forsling signed and mentioned a lot of teams like him.
There's a deal to get done with Reinhart, not sure how far along it is. It would be under Tkachuk
Montreal stuff here:
Friedman it just depends on if he gets something he likes. 3 goalies will go into the offseason if need be.
Savard, some interest, but wants to keep him. Everyone likes him, everyone respects him, but can he fit their pace.
Says there's a lot of interest in Harris.
End Montreal.
Couple of teams interested in Brannstrom. Not a lot of interest in Kubalik.
Ottawa wants to do something big, but this isn't the right time, maybe in the summer. They're taking a long look at the goalies. A lonnnnggggg look.
Speculates that Tampa might look at it as "this isn't our year" as to why Tampa might not make many, if any moves.
Speculates if they go out and get Hanifin, what's the ripple effect. Maybe no Stamkos then ?
Toronto- they keep losing defenseman. They're looking for defenseman. Dumba, Seattle d, Nick Jensen, tried to get Tanev and Zadorov together. They've looked at Savard they're looking at depth forwards and right handed d.
infuriating...the last 2 final 4s were 7/8 Tax havens teams.
