Teams are circling Philadelphia Flyers Scott Laughton
Darren Dreger: As many as eight teams have called the Philadelphia Flyers about center Scott Laughton. The center market is thin and Flyers GM Daniel Briere is being patient. There are already first-round picks in play and Briere is seeing if the offers increase as we get closer to Friday.
The Winnipeg Jets have to at least inquire about Brock Nelson
TSN: The Winnipeg Jets have to at least talk to the New York Islanders about center Brock Nelson. The Jets also have to contend with who would waive their trade protection to go to Winnipeg.
“I think Nelson would be willing to go to Winnipeg, but I think there will be a lot of suitors for Nelson when Lou Lamoriello decides to officially put him in play, which has got to be around the corner.”
