6. Believes Miller for Zibanejad that Vancouver rejected was part of a larger deal. Vancouver loves Braden Schneider and wanted him in the deal but Rangers said no.
7. Zac Jones given permission by Rangers to talk to other teams.
8. Trocheck is the most coveted Ranger right now, but Friedman thinks he will be the Rangers' next captain.
11. Pens have forwards, defencemen, and goalies available. Willing to use their cap space to take on contracts as long as they get young players, prospects, and draft picks they want
15. Believes the Red Wings were looking at (maybe still looking at) Cozens
17. Verbeek is asking a lot for Gibson.
22. Toronto's preference for a centre is term. Might not happen though. |
That is Treliving’s standard plan in trades. Rarely wants to pay anything of significance for a rental. In general, he pays 1st round picks+ for guys that have at least another year or two on their contracts (Toffoli and Hamonic for example).
