At the least 4 teams have shown interest in Jake DeBrusk
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period: 29-year-old Jake DeBrusk isn’t desirous about a Vancouver Canucks rebuild. He has five years left on his deal at $5.5 million, and a full no-movement clause.
The Ottawa Senators, Seattle Kraken, Winnipeg Jets and Columbus Blue Jackets are among the many teams which have shown some interest.
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period: There’s some belief across the league that the Vancouver Canucks could be willing to retain some salary in an Elias Pettersson. That’s not saying they may retain a big portion, but in the event that they drop the $11.6 million down a bit, it will help. Would they go as little as getting it $8.6 million and would that help facilitate a move. The Sedin’s need to work with Pettersson to see in the event that they can get him going again.
NHL Rumors: Calgary Flames Wish to Add Young NHL Players
Quick hits on the Lightning, Raddysh, Carlson, Zacha, Hischier, Thomas, Benn, and Ovechkin
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Get the sense that Tampa Bay Lightning GM Julien BriseBois didn’t think Darren Raddysh’s sample size was large enough to award him a giant contract like he got from the Maple Leafs. BriseBois didn’t get close in term or money to the eight-year, $8.5 million.
Expect the Lightning to be desirous about defenseman John Carlson. Think there might be five Eastern teams after Carlson.
The Boston Bruins are listening to calls on center Pavel Zacha. He’s got one yr left on his contract at $4.75 million and might be after big raise after his 30 goal, 35 assist season. Extending is a priority for the Bruins, but when talks don’t go well, they’ll consider offers. He has an eight-team no-trade list, that was submitted to the Bruins on April 1st.
A Nico Hischier extension can’t be finalized until July 1st, but it surely looks as if the majority of it it done. The Recent Jersey Devils had been looking long-term, Hischier short-term, they usually could also be meeting in the center.
It’s sounding like incoming St. Louis Blues GM Alex Steen doesn’t intend to trade center Robert Thomas.
NHL Rumors: Jets, Panthers, Flyers, Canadiens, and Senators
Dallas Stars Jamie Benn is a pending UFA and it’s expected that he’ll sign an identical one-year, $1 million base salary with bonuses.
The Washington Capitals aren’t putting any pressure on Alex Ovechkin, who is predicted to make a choice on next yr, sometime in July.
