On the Blues …
In wake of Saad trade, many are asking whether the #stlblues should be afraid of an offer sheet, or even the threat of one for Tarasenko….

Army on trades: "There's a likelihood teams will get thru this weekend, let the dust settle on free agency and see what they're going to do.

Armstrong says Blues may sign depth players via UFA before Tarasenko signs, but nothing significant will happen. #stlblues

#stlblues and Tarasenko's camp are talking but no deal imminent before he becomes RFA tomorrow.

On Cody Franson …
@alanhull @JonathanWillis question is how much… I'm hearing 6×6 for Franson

On Franson and the Oilers …
Yes, think Franson is a fit. I would only made a trade if they miss on free agent front https://t.co/WtWNKW961c

On the Oilers …
Oilers need 1 more minute-munching veteran D. I like Beauchemin but another team will go longer. Orpik (5 yrs, $27.5 mil). About same age.

On the Bruins …
File under somewhat surprising: Source says Bruins have not expressed interest in Johnny Oduya. Lot of mutual respect between Oduya & Julien

On the Predators …
Predators still in talks with Mike Ribeiro trying to re-sign him… clock is ticking
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) June 30, 2015
If Mike Ribeiro chooses not to re-sign with Nashville, then the Predators will look outside the organization to replace him.

The Predators are trying to trade Hellberg.

On the Blue Jackets …
Sure sounds like #CBJ will be very quiet in free agency, especially early. May sign some two-way guys, but nothing major.
