Insider trading

Habs are talking to teams on Evans and Armia
Sizeable gap between Evans and Habs on new contract, so likely he gets moved
Habs have told teams they don't have to trade Evans and/or Armia because they already have a lot of draft picks
Teams that have called on Evans and/or Armia: Win, Tor, Edm, NJ, and Min

Jets are looking for depth guys more than big names.

Canes still waiting on Rantanen decision
Rantanen's camp expected to formally indicate to the Canes within in the next few days maybe by the end of the weekend what they want to do next
Canes have told teams they do not intend to trade Rantanen but will circle back if that changes

Frederic is week to week with injury
Not believed to be season ending injury and Bruins believe they could still potentially trade him

Sabres won't move Cozens, Byram, or Tuch unless offers improve

Contenders are waiting to hear on Brock Nelson.
Islanders still have some hope they will re-sign him.

That would be neat!

Sureloss, you okay? Got a little off there at the end. Hope you're not smelling burnt toast.

He doesn’t want Cozens either and was quick to get that info out.

[Vinny01]

Leslie and Francis talking Rantanen and Francis would usually be quick to say no way he would come here but he did not and made it sound like they will chase him if he gets to UFA in the summer. Mentions the Kadri connection

I miss cap friendly but I believe Sharongovich is without a NTC/NMC? As much as I like the guy he has struggled this year coming off the injury and I wonder with Buffalo apparently insisting on a prominent roster player coming the other way in a Cozens trade if Sharky could be in the conversation??

I believe he has a 10-team no-trade list as per puckpedia for years 1-4, and then an 8-team no-trade list.

His new contract hasn’t kicked in so I think he could be traded now anywhere?

Yeah. Can go anywhere right now

[Heavy Jack]

How close is a Cozens for Sharangovich swap? I feel like the flames are adding but not much more??

[Jason14h]

It’s looking like last season might be a career outlier . I’m not sure with the new contract kicking in he has much value at all .

So exactly like Cozens

Shags plays a less desirable position , is smaller , is 2 years older , and has worse seasons under his belt on his career and has 22 pts to Cozens 30 this year

I want nothing to do with Cozens but Shag isn’t in the ballpark . I honestly wonder if he even has positive value with the contract kicking in …

[traptor]

If it was sharangovich or pachal + a small add like suniev I feel like it would be done already.

I dont think Sharangovich holds immense value. Hes a 3rd line winger. Farabee is pretty comparable, albeit sharangovich is older, signed longer, more expensive but has hit 30 goals once.

I think it would end up being something like pachal/sharky/pospisil + 1st + honzek for Cozens.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Suniev isn’t a small add

Eric Francis talking during the intermission about how Rantanen would be a fit. What does everyone think? Elite player, but he's 29, would not be playing with McKinnon, and could turn into another Biat anchor halfway through his contract.

[SuperMatt18]

I could actually see something like Sharangovich + Pachal for Cozens being a starting point.

It's weird - Sharangovich has looked better as a center for Calgary but the organization doesn't seem to like him there.

He was finding his game before the Frost trade playing center, then got moved back to wing and has struggled a bit since.

With Thompson and McLeod at center the Sabres could maybe play him in a more offensive center role.

I can't think of a team that should be chasing after Rantanen less.

Does it improve our chances of Makar coming here as a UFA down the line ?

So we should get his jersey now.
