On the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks …
#Sabres like analytics. They like Fowler. Analytics crowd not big on Fowler. Will be interesting to hear GMTM thoughts if this goes down.

On Kevin Shattenkirk ….
Yep & #Habs would love to get in on that. Watch out for #Caps & #Flyers too https://t.co/nDZHWH8RD2

Not really sensing Oilers & Coyotes as big players for Kevin Shattenkirk. His desire to sign next contract w/an East Coast team is a factor

On the Edmonton Oilers …
High profile NHL team exec on Chiarelli’s pursuit of No. 1 def. “I feel for Peter. Nobody’s giving them up. And there’s hardly any around.”

On the Los Angeles Kings …
Spoke briefly with DL. Sounded unlikely LA trades an entrenched roster player for draft picks this weekend. (1/2)…

… (2/2) Always possible things change, but flexibility to exchange current players for picks would have been enhanced had Lucic re-signed.

On the Columbus Blue Jackets …
Bob McKenzie on TSN 1050: “CBJ options are trade the pick or conceivably go off the board at three.”

Seth Jones camp and Blue Jackets meeting today to try and get a deal done. Jones is RFA.

On the Boston Bruins …
Shattenkirk and/or young d-man perfect for #Bruins but not Okposo. Okposo better fit for contender.

Don Sweeney active today. Met with agents for both Loui Eriksson and RFA Tory Krug.

On the Dallas Stars …
Jim Nill said Stars are fine going with the defense they have now, but if there is a veteran out there that’s a good fit they’ll look at it.
