Connor McDavid thinking long-term in Edmonton?
Bleed Oil Blue: Bob Stauffer said on Sportsnet The Fan 590, that Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid will eventually extend with the Oilers for seven more years.
“I don’t think there’s anybody more committed to Edmonton than Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl… I expect the next contract to be a seven-year extension.”
Utah is interested in Sebastian Cossa, the Rangers could move Brett Berard, and the Senators are eyeing a backup
Kevin Weekes: The Detroit Red Wings could be looking to move goaltender Sebastian Cossa, and the Utah Mammoth are among the teams that are interested.
The New York Rangers could be looking to move forward Brett Berard.
Goaltender Stuart Skinner is among the options for the Ottawa Senators.
Do the Toronto Maple Leafs really want to move Matthew Knies?
Close or Not?
Andrew Thompson: Elliotte Friedman reported that the Montreal Canadiens had offered Alexander Zharovsky, two first-round picks and prospects for Matthew Knies, and that the deal was submitted to the NHL past the trade deadline cut off time.
Darren Dreger has reported that the trade involved Michael Hage, and that the deal wasn’t close.
The Florida Panthers may not have the pieces for Dylan Larkin, and does it even makes sense?
David Dwork of The Hockey News: So Dylan Larkin wouldn’t mind getting out of Detroit and has listed the Florida Panthers as one of the three teams he wouldn’t mind playing for. He’s got an $8.75 million cap hit through 2030-31, and has averaged 32 goals and 70 points over the past five seasons.
For Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman to move Larkin within the division, the Panthers offer would have to be much better than the other offers. The Panthers aren’t moving Aleksander Barkov or Anton Lundell. The Panthers also have some wingers – Sam Reinhart, Evan Rodrigues and Eetu Luostarinen – who take faceoffs depending on which side the faceoff is on. Do they really need someone like Larkin?
Teams are Interested in Mathew Barzal
The Red Wings would likely want the Panthers No. 9 pick in the draft. Since the Red Wings want to win now, they’re going to want some immediate help. Corey Pronman and Max Bultman came up with the No. 9, Luostarinen and prospect Sandis Vilmanis. Would likely take more to make a divisional trade.
