It could take a giant offer to maneuver Rickard Rakell, and winning in Vancouver would entice Quinn Hughes to remain long-term
Dan Rosen of NHL.com: (mailbag) Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell has three years left on his contract at $5 million. He’s second in scoring on the Penguins behind Sidney Crosby and his trade value may never be higher. That said, the Penguins would need to be blown away by a proposal to maneuver him.
When Quinn Hughes’ next contract is able to be signed, the salary cap ceiling may very well be upwards of $113.5 million. If the Vancouver Canucks are still contending, it might be an enticement to stay. There may even be the speculation if he’ll wish to go play along with his brother Jack and Luke in Recent Jersey. If Quinn got to free agency, would the Devils wish to sign him and will they make it work?
NHL Rumors: Dylan Cozens Trade is Not Just About Now However the Future
Seven potential destinations for Colorado Avalanche’s Casey Mittelstadt
Matt Larkin of Day by day Faceoff: The Colorado Avalanche have Casey Mittelstadt a three-year contract extension last summer with a $5.75 million cap hit. Things haven’t gone as easily for the 26-year-old his season, each offensively and defensively. The Avs have already moved out Mikko Rantanen, could Mittelstadt be next? Seven potential destinations.
Boston Bruins – The Bruins desperately need offensive help, especially down the center. They would wish to make the cash work and he’s not a salary dump for the Avs.
Calgary Flames – What about sending Nazem Kadri back to Colorado?
Columbus Blue Jackets – The Blue Jackets are banged and will want/need a middle to maintain within the race. Can tackle his salary. Boone Jenner the return? Would the Blue Jackets wish to move Jenner?
Minnesota Wild – Could use a middle-six center but why would the Avs wish to trade with someone they’re battling within the standings?
Recent York Islanders – Would a Brock Nelson for Mittelstadt trade make sense? The Islanders needs to be trying to move Nelson for picks and prospects.
NHL Rumors: Recent York Islanders, and the Montreal Canadiens
Philadelphia Flyers – Cost certainty for the Flyers because the rebuild continues. Inconsistency in is game may not sit well with John Tortorella. Dylan Cozens would make more sense than Mittelstadt.
Winnipeg Jets – Could use a second-line center. A divisional trade seems unlikely and the Jets don’t have NHL talent to provide up.
