7. Let’s go through a few other situations. Calgary’s got extra bodies, and some of the players shuffling in-and-out of the lineup are unhappy. GM Brad Treliving will be careful, but it is always a delicate balance when you’ve got unhappy players on a team with ambition. There is interest in Mark Jankowski, who needs a fresh start. There is interest in Sam Bennett, who was scratched on Sunday. I’m not convinced the Flames wish to do that, unless the return is impactful. But it’s something to keep an eye on.

Justin Williams might make a decision by this weekend
teams are curious what the Pens do with their goalies. Matt Murray extension talks have ground to a halt. Any team could have had Jarry for a 2nd round pick during the summer.
interest in Saad when he becomes healthy. Edmonton looked into it but can't make the $ work.
Oilers are wary of trading draft picks
lots of interest in Kreider, but the Rangers haven't made a decision on him yet. Friedman cites examples of where the Rangers were able to re-sign players before the trade deadline and recent trades that went to the wire
Guentzel out for 4-6 months may have bought Galchenyuk more time in Pittsburgh
Kovalchuk hoping for some contenders to show more interest
Lias Andersson, Jesse Puljujarvi, and Julius Honka's respective teams are not giving them away. Want a decent return for the former 1st rounders.
