A Brad Marchand trade seems unlikely
Oilers Nation: Frank Seravalli on if the Boston Bruins could trade forward Brad Marchand before the trade deadline.
“I don’t understand where some of these things come from.

Utah could be eyeing two of the top pending UFAs
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period: The Utah Hockey Club may not make the playoffs this year, but they’ll be looking to improve their roster before the trade deadline and into the offseason.
It’s believed they’re looking to add and spend heading into next season and may be laying the groundwork for some potential trade over the next few weeks.
Two players they could try to lure to Utah if they get to the open market on July 1st are Mikko Rantanen and/or Mitch Marner.
They don’t have any significant free agents they need to re-sign and are armed with just over $26.5 million in projected cap space for next season.
