The New York Islanders are eyeing Conor Garland

Taj: Rick Dhaliwal on Donnie and Dhali said that the New York Islanders are interested in Conor Garland and that the teams have been scouting each other.

Stefen Rosner: Have been hearing there have been some serious talks between the New York Islanders and Vancouver Canucks. Have been told that it’s involving forward Conor Garland, but could also be Garland plus something else.

Talks are heating up between the Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues over Robert Thomas

Darren Dreger: It’s a buyers market out there with tons of players in play just days before the trade deadline.

Sources are saying that the Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues are having trade talks involving center Robert Thomas.

NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs, Bruins, Trocheck, and Myers

Chris Johnston: The Sabres have been views around the league as a dark horse team that could add some life to the deadline.

It’s believed that the Sabres are “dangling the equivalent of multiple first-rounders” in talks involving Thomas.

Marco D’Amico: If there was a team that could put together a package comparable or better than the Utah Mammoth or Detroit Red Wings, it would be the Buffalo Sabres. Would Thomas be willing to go to Buffalo?

Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: The Buffalo Sabres are asking a big price for Robert Thomas. He’s only 26 and on a good contract. The Buffalo Sabres and Utah Mammoth are among to the teams to talk with the Sabres.

Will the Blues lower their price a bit before the deadline? Will they decide to hold on to him for the rest of this season and see what the market brings in the offseason? On Monday, one team executive thought he’d be traded at the deadline, while another figured a trade would wait until the offseason.

NHL Rumors: Seattle Kraken, and the Philadelphia Flyers
