On the Coyotes and Bruins …
Ariz. and Boston working on a deal; several GMs talking right now on packed draft floor.

Per a source, Edmonton offered B’s 16th, 33rd & 57th picks in this draft, but Boston wanted Darnell Nurse as part of the package for DH27

On the Devils …
Ray Shero says no change from what he said yesterday. Unlikely he’ll move up in 1st rd. Not trading No. 6 for a player.

Trading back from No. 6 is an option, but whether that happens will depend on picks 3-4-5.

On the Kings …
With Lucic trade, Kings won’t be able to sign Andrej Sekera so he’ll hit the market. It was a major consideration for them. They like him.

If Kings bought out Richards, I believe they’d still have about $9M in cap room. That’s fairly amazing. Buyout has long-term implication tho

On the Blue Jackets …
Puck-rakers: #CBJ GM Jarmo Kekalainen insists he won’t overpay for No. 3 pick http://t.co/rd7iDR4j80

Expectation is Leafs will be picking at No. 4, not moving anywhere. Likely same with No. 24. Lots of trade chatter, however.

On the Blues …
Hearing St Louis wants a first rounder badly. Do they move a core piece to do it? Backe? Oshie? Steen? #NHLDraft
