Some teams eyeing the Winnipeg Jets’ blue line
The Fourth Period: The Winnipeg Jets could look to maneuver pending UFA defensemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley. Among the many teams believed to be in search of defensemen are the Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes.
Other pending UFAs for the Jets are goaltender Eric Comrie and forwards Jonathan Toews, Gustav Nyquist and Tanner Pearson.
The Jets may need some interest in adding a player to their roster, but they’d should have term left on their deal.
NHL Rumors: Calgary Flames Waiting Patiently Right Nazem Kadri Trade Offer
Some defenseman that the San Jose Sharks could possibly be
Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now: The San Jose Sharks sit five points out of the wild card spot, and so they could possibly be seeking to add a defenseman. Some potential options for the Sharks.
Dougie Hamilton – Recent Jersey Devils – Two years left at $9 million and a 10-team trade list. The Sharks aren’t on his trade list. They were interested last offseason.
Justin Faulk – St. Louis Blues – A 12 months left at $6.5 millin and a 15-team no-trade list. May cost a first-round pick, perhaps a high pick and a prospect. Faulk would likely cost greater than Hamilton to accumulate, so Hamilton could have more appeal to the Sharks.
Mason Lohrei – Boston Bruins – The 25-year-old has one other 12 months left and might have a change of scenery. Has been healthy scratched.
Zach Whitecloud – Calgary Flames – Getting so much more ice time in Calgary. Two years left on his contract at $2.75 million. Two scouts said it could cost a second-round pick and a prospect.
Logan Stanley – Winnipeg Jets – A 6-foot-7, left-shot pending UFA defenseman. Not playing top-four minutes in Winnipeg.
