Could the Boston Bruins be interested in Mark Scheifele?
NHL Watcher: Elliotte Friedman on the NHL on Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele: “The one team I wonder about for centres is Boston, they could have a situation next year where they don’t have Bergeron and they don’t have Krejci… and I think they kind of like Scheifele’s profile”
NHL Rumors: Nashville Predators, and the Winnipeg Jets
Could Philadelphia Flyers Travis Konecny be on the move?
Daily Faceoff: Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor on the DFO Rundown on Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny and the possibility of him being traded.
Gregor: “You think Konecny’s dealt?
Seravalli: “I do. I think of all the players on the trade targets board, He has the most value of anyone.
Gregor: “Well man, he’s coming off like a career year, right? Basically.”
Seravalli: “Value is never going to be higher.
Gregor: “I could see why you do it right now. But if you’re a team, is there a little concern, like now maybe he becomes, maybe he is an 80-point guy? We’ve seen lots of guys that get into their mid to late 20s now and boom, they pop a little bit.
So is that him? Is that what he’s doing or was it just a great year and if he’s only, I say only, if he’s just a consistent 25-goal score, 24-goal scorer, there’s nothing wrong with that at all.
But if he’s a point-a-game player, well that’s a different conversation.
Seravalli: “Yeah, I was gonna say, the numbers would suggest that last year, had he been healthy for the whole year, he would have been an 80-point scorer and would have been just a touch around 40 goals. Plus, the edge that he brings, plus the value on his contract. Two more years at $5.5 million. Like its, and his age.
NHL Rumors: Ivan Barbashev, Florida Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and J.T. Miller
He’s never going to have more value to the Philadelphia Flyers than right now. And more to the point, given that they’re embarking on a long rebuild, like he doesn’t, he’s not really of any use to them.
