What Could the Patrik Laine Trade Look Like?
Dan Kingerski of Montreal Hockey Now: Useless to say the Pittsburgh Penguins could use a goal-scorer like Patrik Laine. Pittsburgh desires to make noise within the playoffs and yet doesn’t wish to strip the cabinet bare. That presents an enormous dilemma.
Laine has a 10-team no-trade list. One presumes Pittsburgh will not be on this list. Columbus already paid $2 million so far as his signing bonus. So teams could be on the hook for $16.2 million real dollars if there was zero retention.
Still that is sufficient to scare quite a couple of teams away. Columbus thinks they’ll get a reasonably good return but with a small market, expectations must be tempered. Pittsburgh still has work to do to get the numbers to work.
Remember the Jake Guentzel trade here as Dubas and Don Waddell have danced before. Possibly Dubas dangles a second-round pick and/or a second-tier prospect. The truth is Columbus might need to take what it may possibly.

Top 10 RFA’s Most Notables And Rumors
Luke Fox and Rory Boylen of Sportsnet: Currently it’s looks like Jeremy Swayman heads the category of unsigned RFA’s. The Boston Bruins’ goaltender figures to get most of Boston’s remaining $8.6 million in cap space. This also expects to be a long-term deal. The query is for the way long on each counts.
Moritz Seder – Detroit Red Wings – The $8.6 million number appears to be a pleasant, random number often tossed around. Jake Sanderson, Rasmus Dahlin, and Owen Power all got shiny deals locking up their prime years. Seider plays defense extremely well and contributes greater than well enough offensively. It’s a matter of when and the way much.
Lucas Raymond – Detroit Red Wings – Now, Raymond may very well be differnet. While Steve Yzerman might get forced into an extended extension with Seider, there’s room for a mid-length extension with Raymond. It might take more time however the expectation is it should get done when it gets done.
NHL Rumors: Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid Extension Are Top Priorities for Recent GM Stan Bowman
Seth Jarvis – Carolina Hurricanes – That is certainly one of those deals that appears like it’s somewhat close. A dollar amount may very well be agreed on that is available in around $8 million AAV over eight years.
