Draft-päivään vielä huhuja. Pagnottan mukaan Florida kaupittelee Aaron Ekbladia.
"According to multiple well-placed sources, the Panthers are shopping 2014 first-overall pick Aaron Ekblad, who is entering the final year of his contract, and have already had discussions with some teams about his availability.
Ekblad, 28, will see his full no-movement clause shift to a 12-team no-trade list July 1, when he is also due a $3 million signing bonus."
Puheet Lindholmin päätymisestä UFA-markkinoilta Bostoniin vahvistuvat.
"Chatter over the Boston Bruins and their interest in signing soon-to-be unrestricted free agent centre Elias Lindholm is getting louder and louder."
Ehlersin perässä olevat joukkueet haluaisivat tehdä jatkot kaupan yhteydessä, jotta ovat valmiita maksamaan pyyntihintaa eli ykköstä ja nuorta NHL-hyökkääjää. Islanders mainittu yhtenä kiinnostuneena.
"Teams interested in Winnipeg’s Nikolaj Ehlers prefer to have a contract extension in place if they are paying the asking price, believed to be a young NHL forward and a first-round pick. The New York Islanders are among the teams interested."
As David Pagnotta reports, the Florida Panthers have made D Aaron Ebklad available for trade. Pagnotta also hits on the latest chatter across the NHL.
