Insider trading

lots of talks on Boedker
Coyotes are evaluating trade value right now
will probably get 5 + years @ 5+ million in free agency and Coyotes likely to trade him if they can't sign him
could be asking for a 1st round pick from one team or really good young player from another
Maloney will be referring to Vermette's return last year (1st+Dahlbeck)

Blackhawks don't feel the need to make a trade this year like years past. Would be happy to go with current roster, don't see a big hole.
BUT at the right price a guy like Boedker, Ladd, or someone at a more cap friendly deal would be brought in to play LW with Toews

very little talks between pending UFA Dale Weise and Canadiens
there will be interest if he ends up on the market

Rutherford not done dealing, he is in the rental market
looking at Roman Polak (lots of teams are looking at Polak)
Pittsburgh will also look at Boedker - his speed and skill will fit

Sabres are selling
Jamie McGinn is always on pace to around 20 goals, Sabres are looking for a 2nd round pick for McGinn, however no one is sure someone will give that up as rental market isn't set

preference for Burins is to re-sign Eriksson
biggest issue is Bruins would want 3-4 years but belief is Eriksson will get a 6 year deal as UFA

Would be shocked if Willie Desjardins was replaced in season, but could be replaced in the offseason if Canucks don't make playoffs
