David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 9s Red Wings appear to be working the trade phones now to bolster their blueline. Lost out on Boyle, and apparently out on Niskanen.

Wideman?

Boychuk too.

Would Love Det to fork over an Abdelkader or something like that for Wideman.

Rememebr when Abdelkader played with Gaudreau at the WC? Easy sell for him to come to cgy.

Street and Jones are big shoes to fill if they don't re-sign.

Yes, Street has already signed with Colorado(1x650k). Which makes it more of a question of when and not if.

#NHLJets tell Perreault today they want to change and have 3 lines next year that can score every night. What did they want before exactly?

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper 3s
The delay with Niskanen is his steep asking price . Pales in comparison to #lightning deal for Stralman. Some #NHL teams priced out.

I hope we re-sign Jones. We need a couple of veterans to support the kids on the farm. Brought this up in another thread - but Heat need a couple of veteran dmen too if they don't re-sign Smith.

Hoping now for Engellend and Vrbata. Would be a good Canada day.
