On the Chicago Blackhawks …
Bryan Bickell’s agent is “optimistic” about a trade, but understands it’s “not simple to get done” because of next season’s potential cap.

On the Dallas Stars …
Stars remain dialed in on Russell and Hamhuis. Highly unlikely, but is it possible to land both? Too early to rule anything out.

On the Vancouver Canucks …
Doesn’t sound like market on Vrbata is all that high right now. He’ll be sidelined, I’d guess, until Boedker goes and Eriksson stays/goes

On the Pittsburgh Penguins …
Losing Warsofsky might well make Penguins GM Jim Rutherford step up his efforts to add another defenseman before the trade deadline at 3.

On the Colorado Avalanche …
Add Colorado to the list of possible destinations for Mikkel Boedker.

On the Edmonton Oilers …
Told, as of this hour, the Oilers are close to absolutely nothing. #NHLTrade

On the Los Angeles Kings …
Kings would like to get in mix for top-4 D (still like Hamhuis), but limited pickings in system and draft picks. Could look elsewhere

On the Buffalo Sabres …
No one took Berra. I suppose that means somebody might still want Chad Johnson. https://t.co/9xNAuBcKCa

On the San Jose Sharks …
San Jose Sharks source to me when asked if they’re in on Eriksson? “No.” But they are busy still! #Bruins #TradeCentre

On the Anaheim Ducks …
Important to note that while Ducks seek wing help, the price might be too steep. Bob Murray won’t give up Theodore, Ritchie, Larsson, etc.

ANA has been awfully quiet.
