Burke: “I believe (Wideman) was tradable during the course of this suspension, but that’s not something we entertained.” #Flames

Kypreos: a first round pick and a prospect (or two second rounders) should be the price for Russell.

If -anything- like that happens, wow.

If a team is looking to trade for Kris Russell and eventually sign him, look at Jeff Petry’s 6-year, $33 million deal as a comparable.

FYI: I’ve heard that rumor that ties Barzal & Strome to an “offer” on MTL’s table for Pacioretty is false. #isles #grossoverpayment

I still think #isles aim is seeing if Hamonic can pry a prize before summertime. Still see that prize as puck moving dman for top pair.

Rychel has not been traded, at least not yet. Been told to await further instructions. Either trade or AHL assignment to get on p-off roster
