HNIC:

all eyes on Ottawa
word is that Sens and Stone are trying to reengage on contract talks
the same can't be said about Duchene. Ottawa is putting his name out there quietly

Johnston says he doesn't get the sense that Vegas will be in the rental market
Vegas was linked to Stone but looks like they are more likely to chase him in free agency than trade

Neal injury may be worse than the Flames hoped
Flames 1st priority was to look for a veteran to beef up the blueline
linked to Zuccarello and Stone but wonder if Neal is out for a long period of time they become more agressive

Oilers open to trading Puljujarvi but trade value isn't there
Oilers more likely to put him in the AHL
Friedman notes that the player wants to go (he meant that the player wants a trade)

Oilers want Hitchcock to be more positive or they might turn to Gulutzan for the rest of the season

Dallas in the Zucarello and Panarin market

interest in Nyquist but Wings will have to work with him
unclear if Nyquist will waive his full NTC or which teams he might waive for
