Could the Patrick Kane trade go down today?
Elliotte Friedman: If the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks wait until after 5:00 PM ET today, Kane’s cap hit would count against tomorrow’s number and it could work for the Rangers. There are still things going on behind the scenes like the approval, equipment and logistics.
Vince Z. Mercogliano: As Friedman notes, the Rangers needed one more day (Wednesday) to accrue enough cap space to add Kane. Expect to see in Kane in Philadephia on Wednesday.
NHL Rumors: Kane, More Kane, And Cale Makar Fallout?

The Bruins may have asked the Coyotes to retain salary on Chychrun
Greg Wyshynski: Had heard that the Boston Bruins were interested in Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun before they acquired Dmitry Orlov but one of the issues was that they have asked the Coyotes to retain salary.
He was two years left on his deal at a $4.6 million cap hit.
The Bruins may not be done
Shawn Hutcheon: Bruins president Cam Neely on NESN on Friday’s trade deadline: “I’m still very happy with our group and where we’re at. We still have some time to maybe tinker. We’ll look at that. It’s a lot of gymnastics going on with the cap but we did give ourselves the opportunity to add if we wanted to.”
Schenn and Boeser trade talks continue, Cancuks and Mcdonogh still talking
