Will an extension be heading Akira Schmid‘s way?

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – Lots to Talk about, on New Jersey Devils goaltender Akira Schmid and if a contract extension could be coming his way.

** NHLRumors.com transcription

Friedman: “I’ll tell you this Jeff, I think like too, about New Jersey, I’m wondering if we’re going to see an Akira Schmid extension soon.

And the reason I say it is, Jack Hughes, they extended 8×8 and that’s going age to be a phenomenal contract. The players is going to make $64 million but it’s going to be a great deal for the team too.

Marek: “True.”

Friedman: “Akira Schmid is in the last year of his current deal. He started Game 7 of the playoffs last year. He won it. He’s their goalie of the future. I always looked, the surest predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Akira Schmid is not Jack Hughes but he’s very important to the future of the New Jersey Devils. I thought about this the other day, I was wondering, that’s what they’re going to do.

Ryan Novozinsky: Schmid’s agent said there have been no contract extension talks yet.

Interest in Conor Garland, Phil Kessel and Patrick Kane

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period: Among the teams looking to make a trade are the Vancouver Canucks, Montreal Canadiens, Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators, Dallas Stars and Florida Panthers.

The Canucks have held some talks with Nashville Predators, Winnipeg Jets, Washington Capitals and Blue Jackets about Conor Garland. The Jets may no longer be interested. The Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks could also be interested.

Predators talks could involve defenseman Dante Fabbro, with Blue Jackets talks involving Andrew Peeke.

The Canucks may have to retain between $1 million and $1.5 million. One team wanted Garland’s cap hit closer to $3 million – down from $4.95 million.

UFA forward Phil Kessel has two legitimate options at the moment but those teams need to move some money out first.

UFA forward Patrick Kane will be going through his options in the next week or so.
