- Darren Dreger via twitter: If the Ducks are to trade Bobby Ryan, they want a few pieces including a 2nd line center. Jim Matheson via twitter: If the Flyers really want Bobby Ryan, they would have to give up either Brayden Schenn or Sean Couturier and then work out the other pieces. Chuck Gormley of CSN Wahsington: The Capitals could be quietly looking at Bobby Ryan or Rick Nash. Gormley wonders if a package that included Marcus Johansson, Dmitry Orlov and the rights to Evgeni Kuznetsov would get it done? The Caps could look to invest in a veteran like Shane Doan or Jiri Hudler, on along the blueline in Matt Carle or Bryce Salvador. Jim Matheson via twitter: If Ducks and Sabres are talking about Ryan, you can bet the Sabres are peddling Derek Roy. The Ducks should be hot for Luke Adam or Marcus Foligno too.
- Elliotte Friedman via twitter: Toronto is no longer on Rick Nash’s trade list.
- Andy Strickland via twitter: The Blackhawks have been aggressively pursuing Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. Some players are helping recruit Parise.
