The Chicago Blackhawks could move Nick Foligno
Frank Seravalli: Chicago Blackhawks forward Nick Foligno would consider a move for the best fit. The Blackhawks will see what they’ll do. Similar situation to the Florida Panthers sending defenseman Jeff Petry to the Minnesota Wild for a conditional seventh.
Rasmus Ristolainen trade market expanding
Pierre LeBrun: The trade marketplace for Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen expanded on Thursday. Some latest teams have inquired.
Are the Utah Mammoth the favorites for Robert Thomas?
TSN: The Utah Mammoth may very well be considered one of the principal teams to keep watch over in relation to St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas.
“I still think the Utah Mammoth are probably the team we must be taking a look at if Thomas moves by Friday’s deadline. There’s been plenty of interest from the Mammoth. The asking price was a bit of too wealthy for them earlier within the week, but perhaps as we catch up with to three p.m. ET on Friday, that price changes or something changes on the Utah side of the equation.”
With Alex Steen taking on for Doug Armstrong next 12 months as GM, there’s a unique feel to the Blues this 12 months. Getting a deal done Thursday night for Thomas could be ideal, because it gives him a bit of time to make your mind up whether he desires to waive his no-trade clause or not.
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: Consider the Utah Mammoth are the perfect match for Robert Thomas, but they think the value is just too high.
Consider that the Detroit Red Wings have some interest as well.
The Minnesota Wild, and others, have found the value too steep for Vincent Trocheck
TSN: Teams are finding the Recent York Rangers asking price for Vincent Trocheck a bit of too steep for his or her liking presently, in keeping with Chris Johnston. The Minnesota Wild had been the favorites, but they stepped back on Thursday morning. It’s not saying they’re out or done with talks.
“But at once, evidently Recent York’s having a difficult time quite getting the value they’re in search of. And there are multiple centremen on the market, whether it’s Thomas, Nazem Kadri as well, for teams to take a look at.
And ultimately, the Minnesota Wild have made an enormous move already in season, getting Quinn Hughes, trading plenty of their futures in that package. They’ve made a pair smaller deals here of late. They usually don’t necessarily feel they should go big-game hunting in the event that they find the value to not their liking.”
