Francis did a great job on Staal trade considering there was likely only 1 or 2 places Eric was willing to go
Rangers were adamant no 1st round pick
Talks are quiet between Eriksson and Bruins
Latest offer is 4 yrs @ $5.25 mil per which won't get it done
Eriksson wants 6 x 6 - might be willing to go to 5 years
Boedker - a lot of the same teams interested as in Eriksson
Market for Boedker is quieter than the Coyotes would like
Likely a Monday deal
Hamhuis is expected to be in line up tonight
Stars and some degree Bruins are interested
People will want to tie him to Capitals, but don't get a strong sense Washington is interested
Same teams that are interested in Hamhuis are to some degree interested in Russell
Bruins definitely interested
LA and Stars with some interest
Flames are in no rush to move Russell
Some teams are concerned with the lingering groin issue, but Flames say that is not a problem
Flames are going to hold on to their cards tight and see if they can squeeze out a better offer
quiet contenders: LA and Anaheim, Stars, and TB expected to do something before the deadline
