A Spin Around the NHL with the Latest Trade and Free Agent Rumors

No traction on Alexander Romanov trade talks

David Pagnotta: The New York Islanders did talk to some teams over the draft weekend about defenseman Alexander Romanov. Talks continued after, but with no traction.

Alexander Nikishin turns down a long-term contract offer from the Hurricanes

NHL Rumour Report: Elliotte Friedman on the FAN Hockey Show on Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin: ” I think offered him a long-term deal and I think he turned it down; I’m assuming it was one of those Jackson Blake kinda deals.” (Blake’s deal was for eight-years at a $5.117 million cap hit)

Canucks defenseman Marcus Pettersson enters the rumor mill

Taj: Elliotte Friedman on Oilers Now mentioned Vancouver Canucks Marcus Pettersson, along with usual Jake DeBrusk, Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson.

NHL Rumors: Jets, Kings, and Quick Hits from Around the NHL

Crickets surrounding the Vancouver Canucks and Elias Pettersson

Sekeres and Price: Darren Dreger, when asked about the latest on Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson.

Matt Sekeres: “What’s the latest on Pettersson, as you know it, Dregs?”

Dreger: “Crickets. Yeah, pretty quiet.

And that’s not a shock or surprise to any of us, is it? You know, that, that’s one where the Canucks are gonna have to eat a pile of money to encourage somebody to engage.

And I’m not saying that they’re unwilling to do that, but as far as my sources are, and they’re good on this file, that, that side, the player side, has not been brought anything from the Vancouver Canucks that even remotely describes a level of interest.”

A Spin Around the NHL with the Latest Trade and Free Agent Rumors

Taj: Elliotte Friedman on Oilers Now on Canucks Elias Pettersson: “I think they would rather take back a contract with less term than eat money.”
