NHL Rumors: Wild, Scandella, Bruins, Shattenkirk, Flyers, Leafs, Capitals, Rangers, Coyotes and Avalanche
Minnesota Wild defenseman Marco Scandella
On the Minnesota Wild and Marco Scandella ….

Michael Russo: “#mnwild has a few balls in the air right now, things heating up, I’m told. Any trade consummated could come closer to the draft”

Michael Russo: “ has something cooking. Sounds like Scandella. Wild has been asking for a first-round deal in any package”

Steve Conroy: “Hearing Scandella’s salary — $4 mill for next 3 years — might be too high for B’s liking. We’ll see. Things change quickly”

Jimmy Murphy: “Per an NHL source, now in on Marco Scandella.

David Pagnotta: “A few teams still trying to pluck a defenseman from Minnesota… Seems like much depends on where Hamonic ends up.”

Joe Smith: The Lightning have been looking for defensemen and the Wild havea few options.

On Kevin Shattenkirk

Elliotte Friedman: “Lot of talk about NYR using space for Shattenkirk. They liked Yandle a lot, but were wary of term there. Someone like BUF makes more sense”

WGR 550: “Buffalo has been linked to interest in Kevin Shattenkirk”

Stephen Whyno: “ could be serious players July 1. Shattenkirk?”

Stephen Lorenzo: “Frees up space for Shattenkirk if they want to go that route, but suddenly have no centers”

On the Philadelphia Flyers …

Jimmy Murphy: “Hearing lots of chatter right now and Claude Giroux keeps coming up.”

On the Toronto Maple Leafs …

James Mirtle: “I don’t believe Leafs are after Colin Miller at this point. Pursuing more high profile options on blueline. Going to be tough.”

On the Washington Capitals …

Isabelle Khurshudyan: “btw, still think Oshie stays in Washington. That might be what has handcuffed Caps in making moves. Limited salary cap room.”

On the New York Rangers …

Dan Rosen: “Gorton said NYR like Deangelo a lot but D is a work in progress. He did not rule out more trades. He said it’s a deep trade market now.”

On the Arizona Coyotes …

Sarah McLellan: “Despite two big trades that address some glaring vacancies, still exploring other opportunities.”

On the Colorado Avalanche …

Jimmy Murphy: “With regards to Matt Duchene, I wouldn’t say any team is “out”. still trying to move him, but need to come down on demands!”
