there is a sense that the Sens would take another crack at re-signing Stone after trading Dzingel

Kypreos says the market is drying up for Stone because ask is too high
would like mirror Duchene deal but problem is the prospects in that deal are maybe B and Cs, but with Stone asking for grade A prospects-guys that can play away
Winnipeg is at the top, followed closely by Calgary, with Nashville and Boston looking in
sens hoping the market resets by monday

looks like the Leafs will be quiet at the deadline
prices are higher than leafs willing to pay
maybe a small deal if anythings

Hayes is plan B for those who miss out on Stone including the Jets
Jets want Hayes on the 2nd line and move Little to the Wing.
price is a 1st and maybe a prospect who isn't NHL ready - Kypreos speculates Logan Brown from the Jets
Nashville would also look at Hayes

Eric Staal doesn't want to be traded, cannot prevent it. 10 team no trade list.
However, teams are saying that if he really doesn't want to be moved they are going to trade for him

Pens tried to re-acquire Hagelin, but the salary retention rules prevented them for doing so.
One of the reasons he ended up in WSH

Market expected to heat up for Simmonds - Friedman says SJS, CGY, and Winnipeg will make pushes for him.

I think it was Logan Stanley from Jets. Huge defender. I believe Logan aBrown already OTT prospect
