From Friedman's post draft podcast:
Lightning are the favourite for Guentzel
Utah expected to go after Montour
NJ expected to go after Pesce
Stamkos was offered $3 mil x 8 years by Lightning
Tampa also offered a shorter term deal followed by 1 year deals with bonuses
Lots of teams think Nashville will be very aggressive for Stamkos
Indications Duchene will sign an extension with Dallas
Leafs will be offering Tanev at least 6 years to spread out the AAV
Expected that Tanev will sign with Leafs
Leafs will have competition with Boston on Zadorov
Rumors the Oilers have asked Evander Kane to waive his NMC but as of Saturday that has not occurred
Not sure what is going on with Trouba,
Was told by some people that the Rangers were pushing it a long and Trouba would be willing to go to Detroit
Now been told that it is much more a challenge than initially thought and people are getting ahead of themselves
Hard on Trouba, Rangers may have decided that they need to do this for cap reasons but Trouba wants to stay.
Trouba might make his no trade list strategic so that he lists teams most likely to trade for him
Friedman wonders if Trouba doesn't waive no trade, Trouba might end up on waivers like Goodrow
Blue Jackets discussed trade involving 4th OA and Marting Necas.
Got to the point that BJs made a contract offer to Necas with the permission of Hurricanes but it didn't get done.
Chicago offered an unprotected first next year as part of the package for 4th OA, Flyers tried to trade up to 4th OA - It was all about Demidov, everyone knew Montreal was going to take him
Everyone is now questioning if the Canes keep Necas now that they appear to have lost Guentzel
Lots of teams tried to trade up to get Tij Iginla including Calgary
Believes Ottawa would have taken Tij if Utah did not.
A lot of interest in Askarov
Preds looking for an established player or a high ceiling prospect that is not a goalie
Couple of cases where the Jets were close to trading Rutger McGroarty
Wild where in on him, but backed out when Buium was available at 12 and Guerin wanted to use their pick
