On the Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings …
Bob McKenzie: It’s not a guarantee that it will happen, but the LA Kings are showing interest in winger Jarome Iginla. Iginla has a full no-trade clause. The interest may be mutual.
Craig Custance: There is definitely mutual interest between Iginla and the Kings. The Avs and Kings are working on a deal.
Chris Johnston: Iginla carries a $5.3 million salary cap hit. There is ‘cautious optimism’ that he’ll be moved.
Chuck Gormley: Iginla “Joe(Sakic) has been really good to me and he says he’ll try to make that happen. It’s not always a given,there’s not much time left. I’d like to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs and compete for the Stanley Cup.’
On the Los Angeles Kings …
Dennis Bernstein: The Kings are just not looking for wingers. They are considering options at center.
On the Montreal Canadiens …
David Pagnotta: The Canadiens are one of the teams that Shane Doan would consider waiving his no-movement clause for. They are not a top team on his list, but are on it.
David Pagnotta: The two teams that are on top of his list may not have the salary cap space to add him and may be out of the mix.
On the Carolina Hurricanes …
Renaud Lavoie: The Hurricanes are seeing what they can get for Teuvo Teravainen.
On the Edmonton Oilers …
Elliotte Friedman: The Oilers are trying to trade defenseman Andrew Ference and his $3.25 million cap hit. Moving the expiring contract would create some flexibility for them.
Ryan Rishaug: Guessing the Oilers are looking for a rental 3rd or 4th line winger. Money could be an issue for them. Leon Draisaitl‘s bonuses could be costly.
Jonathan Willis: In any rental deal, the Oilers need to make the money work. One way they could do that is move Matt Hendricks in the deal.
