Pens "tested the market" on Kessel but have decided to hold off for the time being. Could be revisiteed.
Hextall thought very highly of Simmonds but was unwilling to commit long term to Simmonds. Some reports that Simmonds was shopped, but other say that Hextall wanted to wait to see if the Flyers got back into the playoff race. Will see hat Fletcher thinks.
Chicago scouting a lot lately. Bowman was at ARI/LA and their capologist also made their last trip. Hawks ahd 2 scouts at LA/VAN, 3 scouts at DAL/CGY and 2 scouts at LA/EDM
Hawks might have some interest in Sam Gagner
Leafs will try to re-sign Gardiner
Doesn't sound like anyone was close to meeting Toronto's trade ask for Nylander. |
Maybe I have my blinders on - but I don't know who off that roster would be a fit in Calgary. Kane would require a major upset to the system. The only player I could think of is Crawford, but vertigo is a weird conditions. Many goalies have had it including Jonas Hiller and while Crawford looked great the other night, I am not sure if you can commit $6M through 19/20. You probably need someone playing 1A next year, but I am not sure if Crawford at this stage of his career is a big upgrade on Smith (especially when considering Health).
