On Common Sense …
In talking with several people in NHL management, everyone thinks there should be no NHL games scheduled on deadline day. #PlayersAgree

On Ilya Kovalchuk …
I’m told that if Kovalchuk can’t get something done today, he could stay with SKA until the end of the post season.

Kovalchuk’s agent confirms that he hasn’t had a serious conversation with any GM in the NHL, but has talked to one about possible arrival

On Jonathan Drouin …
Most spectacular possiblity today is Jonathan Drouin moving from TB. Seems to be a feeling it could happen. . .maybe. . .

TB values Drouin very highly and many teams do. Traction being made. Based on those I’m talking to, I’d be surprised if he’s not moved

Talk still ongoing pretty strong on Jonathan Drouin. Belief around Tampa situation is that he will be traded today

On the Minnesota Wild …
I think if Minnesota can’t do a deal for bigger names like Boedker or Drouin they might circle back to Buffalo on McGinn if he’s still there

On the Winnipeg Jets …
Wpg was first domino in Ladd trade, but Jets may be quiet today. No rentals, but will look at top 9 forward and left shot D-man.

On the Boston Bruins …
Additional offers on Eriksson expected. However, existing interest has to improve for Boston to consider moving key forward. #TradeCentre
