TSN: Pierre LeBrun said that Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba could be next to go.
“… you know, I think they’ll try to trade Matt Dumba, who has a year left on his deal at $3.7 5 million. He didn’t play in the playoffs. But given how desperate teams are on defense, you know, maybe there’s a market for him to reset his career and, and be the better, better version that we’ve seen from him over the years. But they got to move money now, no question about it.”
The Philadelphia Flyers would like to move up in the Draft

“We’ve said from the beginning we’d like to move up if it was possible,” Flyers general manager Daniel Brière told reporters on Tuesday. “There’s just not a lot of options out there. Teams are all looking to move up, so we’ll have to be patient. And maybe there’s an opportunity that comes where we can create value going the other way also.”
