On the Rangers …
NYR have been offered a 1st rounder for Talbot. Not from Oilers or Flames. Dallas, SJ and Florida still involved. 1st isn't a deal maker.

NYR are looking for the best overall package, even though a 1st round pick for Talbot is attractive.

Told that Talbot Derby still includes five teams–Edm, Calg, SJ, Dal, Fla.

On the Kings …
Spoke w/Jarrett Bousquet, agent for Martin Jones. Says no urgency in getting deal done w/Kings. Will pick up talks after the draft.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) June 26, 2015
When a Martin Jones contract is done, expect a bridge deal. They believe he's a potential No. 1, that would leave flexibility.

Murray says if any team needs a defenceman give him a call. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) June 26, 2015
