On Matt Beleskey …
6-8 teams chasing Matt Beleskey. 5-7 year range is expected.

On the Capitals …
Caps will be bargain-bin shopping for a No. 7 defenseman who can play on the right, but guessing they won't be spending more than $800k-ish.

Trade for a top-6 wing still on the table, but as always depends on the ask. Heard they explored Saad, but CHI wanted/got young C (Anisimov)

Don't think, right now, the Caps will explore the higher-priced UFA forwards, not without knowing how much $ they'll have left after Holtby.

As GMBM has said, not expecting the Caps to be active on the UFA market today. Holtby's contract remains the most important domino to fall.

On Steven Stamkos …
The longer it takes #Lightning to re-sign Stamkos this summer, the more "he wants to go to Toronto" rumors we'll hear.

On the Blues …
Blues still haven't signed Tarasenko but will 100 percent match any offer sheet for him from another team.

On Michael Neuvirth …
Flyers among the teams that have shown solid interest in Michal Neuvirth… we shall see
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) July 1, 2015
#Flyers could sign Neuvirth, who I think would be great fit as backup G. Boosh disagrees. Free-agency doors open at noon.

On the Coyotes …
The Coyotes are expected to pitch offers to some of the top UFA defensemen available. Whether they sign any of them is another story.
