Couple of interesting Segments driving into work this morning:
1) NHL Morning Skate with Elliott Friedman:
Says that the Gaudreau extension talks in Calgary are dead quiet.
Also says that the majority of American based players do not want to come play in Canada due to our "lovely" restrictions. This will be a major issue for any Canadian team looking to add at the deadline. Canadian teams may be segregated with trading with other Canadian teams only.
2) Andy Strickland with the Fan960 crew:
Stated that he still gets the sense that Tkachuk still wants to play in St. Louis. While he is a media guy for that market, he is very well connected and tapped in with the "locals" down in the St. Louis area.
Interesting couple of points just thought id share.
