Flyers interested in Petry?

Marco D’Amico of Montreal Hockey Now: Elliotte Friedman mentioned that the Philadelphia Flyers could have interest in Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry. The Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings had previously shown interest. The Canadiens have been close to a Petry deal yet.

Friedman also mentions that the Flyers could be looking to trade Rasmus Ristolainen. Petry could replace Ristolainen on the right side.

Potential trade targets for the Hurricanes and how they would fit

Sara Civian of The Athletic: Recently looked at some potential trade targets for the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes don’t have a lot of salary cap space so any big trades would be money-in, money-out.

The Hurricanes have been looking at the defensive trade market.

Some potential blue line targets and how well would they fit.

Jakob Chychrun – Coyotes – 4 out of 5 fit.
John Klingberg – Stars – 3.5 out of 5 fit.
Nick Leddy – Red Wings – 2.5 out of 5 fit.
Ben Chiarot – Canadiens – 2 out of 5 fit.
Rasmus Ristolainen – Flyers – 1 out of 5 fit.

Lawson Crouse – Hurricanes – 4 out of 5 fit.
Calle Jarnkrok – Kraken – 2.5 out of 5 fit.
