NHL Rumors and Speculation
- David Pagnotta (The Fourth Period): Teams interested in Pierre-Luc Dubois include Anaheim, Calgary, New York, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, and Vegas. Talks are expected to pick up very soon.
- Josh Yohe (The Athletic): If the Pittsburgh Penguins continue to struggle in the next few weeks, General Manager Jim Rutherford will look to make a trade.
- Darren Dreger (TSN): The Penguins are in the market for the best available defenseman and could be willing to give up a valued asset for one. Speculation is he knows he’ll have to settle for a third pair guy.
- On the future of Panthers franchise player Alexander Barkov: “Barkov wants to win, and he wants to make sure the Florida Panthers are on that road. If that is the direction the Panthers are headed, Barkov will listen.”
- Bruce Garrioch (Ottawa Sun): The Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils, and Chicago Blackhawks are among the potential suitors for Winnipeg Jets winger Patrik Laine.
- Chad DeDominicis (Die by the Blade): In the past 72 hours, the Buffalo Sabres have spoken to a handful of teams about goaltenders.
- Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic): “Some teams who are interested in Pierre-Luc Dubois intend to circle back to Columbus pretty soon. Everyone is watching this unfold.”
- Eric Duhatschek (The Athletic): On the kind of returns he could see Jack Roslovic and Patrik Laine netting the Winnipeg Jets in trades as well as what it could take for the Flames to trade for Pierre-Luc Dubois,
- ” I don’t see Roslovic commanding a first-round pick, even though that’s what he was (25th overall in 2015). Could he fetch a second? Probably.”
- “For Laine, Winnipeg is going to ask for a premium player in return.”
- “(Sean) Monahan and a sweetener? Yes, that I can see happening.”
