On the New York Rangers …
Larry Brooks: Sources saying the Rangers didn’t ask defensemen Marc Staal or Dan Girardi if they would waive their no-movement clauses before the deadline.
On the New York Islanders …
Arthur Staple: The Islanders didn’t ask Andrew Ladd or Johnny Boychuk to waive their no-movement clauses before yesterday’s deadline.
On the Columbus Blue Jackets …
Aaron Portzline: The Blue Jackets didn’t ask forward Scott Hartnell to waive his no-movement clause before the deadline.
On the Winnipeg Jets …
Ken Wiebe: The Jets won’t be commenting on whether they asked defenseman Toby Enstrom to waive his no-movement clause or not, or if he agreed.
On the Vancouver Canucks …
Rick Dhaliwal: Chris Tanev on the daily trade rumors: “I don’t pay attention to the rumours, I’m a Vancouver Canuck right now & getting ready for camp.”
Rick Dhaliwal: Tanev on having so many teams interested in him: “If so many teams are after me, I must be doing something right.”
Rick Dhaliwal: There have been no contract talks since the NHL combine between the Canucks and Ryan Miller‘s agent.
On the Philadelphia Flyers …
Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post: (mailbag) Forward Matt Read may be the only real buyout candidate for the Flyers. He has a year left on his deal and would carry cap hits of $1.29 million and $1.17 million if bought out.
Would have to see if Nico Hischier or Nolan Patrick make the team before they consider trading one of Sean Couturier or Brayden Schenn.
Don’t see the Flyers going after either Jonathan Drouin or Matt Duchene.
The Flyers could do very little on July 1st, maybe a AHL signing.
thinks that Michal Neuvirth ending up on the Vegas Golden Knights makes sense. They could trade for a goalie, or the rights to a goalie at the draft. Options could be Jonathan Bernier, Robin Lehner, Anders Nilsson, Eddie Lack or Petr Mrazek.
