Two Avs prospects
Mike Chambers: Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said he doesn’t know what Avs management is thinking with regards to possibly signing prospects Alex Newhook and Sampo Ranta.
Sabres may have to come down on Hall asking price … Will the Flyers become sellers?
Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Buffalo Sabres forward Taylor Hall has said he’d be willing to waive his no-trade clause. The Sabres need to maximize the return for Hall.
Pierre LeBrun has reported the starting for Hall is a first-round pick. Even if the Sabres retain half of Hall’s $8 million cap hit, the price may have to come down if they want to move him. The Canadian quarantine period and a full no-movement clause may limit trade options.
The Philadelphia Flyers had hoped to buyers at the trade deadline, but depending on how the next couple of weeks go, they could be sellers. They could look at moving depth pieces in Scott Laughton, Michael Raffl, Erik Gustafsson and Samuel Morin.
