On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
A lot of chicken going on this morning as GM’s argue over what todays value should be for the final 10-12 good to reasonable players left!

On the Boston Bruins …
Western conference team says the ask from Boston for Eriksson is a top player and prospect. Team is balking at the price…for now.

Bruins are a major player today. Working on Hamhuis/Russell…considering Eriksson trade options. Lots of discussions in Boston.

Some talk around BOS F Seth Griffith. 60 pts in 46 games at AHL Providence. 23 years old.

One note about Griffith: waiver-eligible in September. So I can see why BOS may do it.

Armstrong still targeting a forward. Eriksson and Drouin appear to be top options. https://t.co/lQK6ZEARNK

There’s been some talk surrounding Carolina’s Jeff Skinner in the days leading up to the deadline. Inquiries made. Not sure there’s traction

Was told yesterday that CBJ were going to be quiet. But you have to wonder what market value Hartnell and Tyutin can bring?#NHLTrade
