- Mike Halford of Pro Hockey Talk: Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant on how any potential trade won’t involve their young assets.
“I don’t foresee that happening,” Gallant said, per CBS Radio Miami. “We’re staying the course. We’re going to play our young guys, because our young guys are playing real well and they’re a big part of our team.
“I’d be shocked if anything like that happens. You’d have to get an unbelievable offer, but we’re planning on doing this for the long haul.”
- CSNNE: NBC Sports Mike Milbury on if he’d be interested in the Bruins head coaching position if it opened up.
“I would have to look at it very carefully,” said Milbury. “When I went to Long Island I didn’t know what I was getting into. I’d want to know exactly where I was going with this. Who is running the show? What pieces were in place to play with?
“I’m not chomping at the bit . I’m happy with what I’m doing. I’ve got a pretty good schedule with a little bit more free time. But when somebody dangles that carrot in front of you and gives you an opportunity like that, there’s so few chances like that. I’d have to say I’d strongly consider it if that came around.”
