The Edmonton Oilers looking at blue line options

“It wouldn’t have to wait until training camp.”

Talks between the Dallas Stars and Thomas Harley ongoing

David Pagnotta: The Winnipeg Jets and RFA forward Cole Perfetti don’t appear to be close on a deal.
After talking to some people, a two-year bridge deal may be the route they take. Would something just over $4 million work?
Would think that if the Jets are wanting to go longer-term, would guess that Perfetti would be open to that but the number would need to be much higher.
