the Sens will 100% move Cody Ceci if they can get a similar return to what Muzzin got for the Kings
Sens will still have some competition from Canes as they will move one of Hamilton, Pesce, or Faulk if they can get a top 6 forward
LeBrun thinks Columbus will trade Panarin
The Jackets will need to sell Panarin and turn around and buy a player to fill the roster spot that Panarin vacates
Legitimate chance Matthews contract extension is done before trade deadline. Reason being that a 5-6 year deal is attractive to both sides than a 7 or 8 yr deal.
If it is a 5-6 year deal the AAV will be around Tavares' $11 million +/- 500k compared to a 7-8 year deal it would $12.5 mil to $13.5 mil AAV
Canes in a perfect world would like to move Ferland in the next week or two if someone meets their price.
Don't want to risk Ferland getting hurt and having his trade value drop.
Oilers are in no rush to hire new GM
may start to ask for permission to talk to candidates starting this week.
Question is if McPhee will allow the Oilers to talk to McCrimmon 4 weeks before the deadline.
McKenize says he would be shocked if McPhee would give permission at this time. More likely that permission would be given down the road at a less critical time for Vegas
