NHL Rumors: Did the Boston Bruins Want To Extend Jim Montgomery
Steve Kouleas: We’re back. Now we have a whole lot of games, so we will’t hear that music, although we prefer to hear the music, since it’s such great music. We’ve got Dave Pagnotta with us. So Dave, people like to speak about trades. Is there anything on the front burner with all these middling teams? Like, is Boston on the phone Detroit and the coach? Like, what’s happening? What’s front and center first? Welcome.
Dave Pagnotta: Thanks. Kool. I mean, yeah, definitely a whole lot of, a whole lot of calls are being made now whether that’s going to steer to anything significant. Well, obviously, we got to attend and see. But Boston made, they made the coaching change, however it doesn’t mean that Don Sweeney is just going to stop making calls across the league to see what’s available. He’s scouring the league. He’s seeking to see what’s on the market.
NHL Rumors: NHL General Managers Laying The Foundation For Potential Trades
Some teams are taking a look at Seattle as a club with a pair options for mid six forwards and third line potential energy guys that they may potentially add afterward within the season. If the Kraken drop out of drop out of the playoff race, they’re right within the thick of things at once.
But when things drop, guy like Brandon Tanev and Yanni Gourde are going to generate more interest they have already got now. As again, teams are doing the due diligence and beginning to put their list together to see who they wish to pursue afterwards. So there are teams. You’ve the others, usual suspects, Pittsburgh still very lively. Nashville continues to go searching. Columbus has to make a call on what they wish to do with a few their guys. So there’s activity. It just doesn’t sound like anything is, hot and heavy at once.
In fact, that may change at any second, but that appears to be type of where the mindset goes into today and going into this afternoon and this evening, with respect to a few of the trade chatter.”
