On Mark Stone
Elliotte Friedman: “With one hour to the deadline, Vegas and Ottawa were working hard on a Mark Stone deal. Nashville was in there, too, and I think Calgary circled back. But the Golden Knights appeared to be the favourites. Let’s see.”
Pierre LeBrun: “Another Vegas/Ottawa deadline day showdown. Both teams grinding to get something done on Mark Stone.”
On the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers
Jim Matheson: “If Leafs need toughness at F, which they certainly do, and Oilers could use a F with more offensive juice, would a Zack Kassian for Connor Brown trade work? Brown played with McDavid in Erie”
On the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets
Aaron Portzline: #RedWings “Niklas Kronwall has informed the club that he does not wish to be traded, apparently. Still an hour to change his mind, but #CBJ interest in McQuaid picked up when that became known. Needed defensive depth, but can also use McQuaid’s toughness.”
On the Rangers
David Pagnotta: “Hearing at least one team recently approached the Rangers about Lundqvist, but were told he’s still not willing to waive no-move.”
Rick Carpinieo: “Claesson still in play. Wondering if Namestnikov too. Or more. #NYR“
Bruins and Toffoli
Ty Anderson: “Toffoli is interesting name to watch. Would address a need, but also almost guarantees Bruins would have to move salary out this summer.”
