Montour and Larsson have the right side covered for the Kraken. People might not think much of that but I don't think that they are going to be in on Andersson.
I posted this elsewhere but here are the lists of potential suitors that were put forth in some articles:
- Sportsnet's list: Sabres, 'Canes, Leafs, Stars, Canadiens
- Daily Faceoff's list: 'Canes, Blue Jackets, Stars, Red Wings, Senators, Flyers
- Flames Nation: Kings, Senators, Blues, Capitals, Jets
That starts as 13 teams, not including the Sharks. Personally, I would eliminate 8 of them right away:
- The Flyers are not building/buying and the Sabres are likely on Andersson's NTL.
- The Blues, Capitals, Stars, Jets, Kings, and Leafs are challenging because I doubt they have much that the Flames want/need (but I could be wrong)
That might leave the list as: Blue Jackets, Canadiens, Hurricanes, Jets, Red Wings, Senators, and Sharks. Maybe there is a surprise suitor or two hiding out there in the Mammoth, Ducks, or Blackhawks.
I expect Conroy's phone is ringing a lot right now. Hopefully with real offers and not "late 1st round picks + nice prospects".
