Ei aavistustakaan kuka tämä NHL Prospects Watcher on, mutta jos kommentit on poimittu Friedmanin 31 Thougts -podcastista, niin ehkä nämä uskaltaa laittaa tänne (kuuntelin podcastia eilen noin puoleenväliin ja kyllä siellä siihen mennessä osa noista jutuista ehti tulla). Osa kuuluisi ehkä enemmän draft- tai free agent -ketjuun.

Friedman on his 31 Thoughts podcast talking John Tavares and the Penguins: “I do think quietly that Pittsburgh is trying to do this” - Tosin tässä yhteydessä mainittiin San Jose, St. Louis ja parikymmentä muutakin kiinnostunutta joukkuetta.

Friedman on his 31 Thoughts podcast shared a quote from Filip Zadina on the Montreal Canadiens where he said they are probably not taking me cause they are looking for a C or D. Friedman agreed with the quote. First I heard of this.

Friedman on his 31 Thoughts podcast says a couple of teams have told him this whole Kotkaniemi at 3 thing is a smokescreen and Bergevin wants one of the d-men.

Friedman says he has heard internally Habs management has been told to rebuild and stock up on picks and prospects, if they improve and don’t make the playoffs next year, ownership won’t freak.

Dreger on John Carlson: “I think it is less likely he leaves Washington with the cap going up, I think the Caps find a way to keep him in the mix”.

Dreger feels a major shake up is coming in Anaheim, to what degree, he doesn’t know, but Corey Perry has been asked for his no-trade list, he expects them to be contenders for James van Riemsdyk.

Miller and Dreger both agree they expect Lou Lamoriello and the Islanders would have interest in James van Riemsdyk as well.

Dreger says seeing Subban’s name on trade lists isn’t so surprising, it is not because the Preds don’t like him, just reality of cap world and his $9M salary. Ryan Ellis needs a new deal, will get a big raise, and Tavares won’t come cheap, NSH will be major contenders for him.
Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
LeBrun: "Buffalo is taking a ton of calls, obviously mostly on Ryan O'Reilly, but people are calling on Ristolainen - who they don't want to move. But again, it's one of those things where people keep calling."
