“So you mostly ask, you say, ‘Okay, who’s busy? What teams are lively this week?’ And this week, the primary answer was Devils.

Lot of balls within the air. Really looking around to see what’s on the market. Now, amongst their targets, they’re believed to incorporate two players from Nashville, Steven Stamkos, who has say over this, and Ryan O’Reilly, who’s been promised verbally, say over this.
But once Vancouver announced that they were open for business, sent that email around to the league. I do consider there was a conversation, at the least one, between the Devils and the Canucks about Quinn Hughes.
And I stress, I don’t consider there’s anything imminent. I don’t even know that they’re anywhere far along, but I do consider that conversation was had about where things stand, and where they is likely to be going.
Now, also, it must be mentioned with the Devils. They’re due to their injury and cap situation. They’re dollar in, dollar out. So in the event that they’re bringing in any individual, they’re going to need to remove people. And I feel that’s why there’s a lot time across the Devils. They got rather a lot happening.
Ron McLean: “And you have got nothing, Elliotte, from the Recent Jersey side, what could be the return of if ever Quinn Hughes…”
Friedman: “No, no.”
McLean: “… where to depart.”
Friedman: “No, no.”
McLean: “Don’t even need to go there, really. ”
Friedman: “No. That’s why you’re taking half the blame.”
McLean: “That’s right.”

Ron McLean: “Okay. Edmonton, the goaltending.”
Friedman: “Look, there’s been loads of noise around Tristan Jarry within the last 24 to 48 hours. So I just spent a while happening a rabbit hole to attempt to determine what was happening here.
I do think there’s legitimate Edmonton interest in Jarry, but I feel it is incredibly complicated and won’t be possible. Mainly because Pittsburgh has not, has indicated it would not retain. He’s got two more years at $5.375 million, and the Penguins will not be willing to retain.
Now, for those of you who’re Oilers fans, what meaning, that it won’t be possible because Edmonton would need to do some roster surgery to get it done. And immediately, due to their very own injury and cap situation, they’re really stuck. So like I said, I consider there’s interest in Jarry, I just don’t know if it’s going to be possible.

And one in all the explanations I don’t consider it’s possible, because I don’t think it’s a Skinner for Jarry situation. I consider with the Oilers, what they would really like to do, in the event that they ever could do that, could be to pair Skinner with Jarry.
So again, there’s interest, but I don’t know, and I’m not convinced it’s going to be possible.”
