“Chicago. Murphy (traded to Edmonton yesterday), again, lot of defensemen available. That’s their challenge. I’ve heard they’ve got Mikheyev on the market. I feel they tried to sign him at one point, but I feel Mikheyev is on the market, and Chicago goes to have a pair other guys.
I do know some people have wondered about Korchinski there, because they’ve got quite a lot of D. He’s been within the minors. His future is one other thing I feel people have wondered about.”

Zach Whitecloud is in no rush to go away Calgary, and the crowded center market that features Nazem Kadri
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – NHL Trade Deadline: A Buyers’ Market episode on the Calgary Flames and what are they going to do with Zach Whitecloud and Nazem Kadri?

“Calgary, I heard that. I heard a pair things with Calgary. Primary thing I heard, because there was quite a lot of questions on Whitecloud. What were they going to do with Whitecloud? One other team told me that they heard that Whitecloud will not be in a rush to get out of there. That he’s not, he’s not someone who shows up and says, ‘No, this isn’t for me, and might I am going some place else?’ That will not be the case.
Now, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get traded. It just signifies that the Flames are blissful to have players who’re blissful there, and so they’re not motivated to maneuver him. They get an excellent offer. Look out. There’s not much else you possibly can do. You get an excellent offer. You jump at it. But I’ve just heard from a pair teams that Whitecloud indicated of the Flames, he’s blissful to remain, and subsequently they’re not rushing him to the front of the list, we’ve to trade this guy.
The largest challenge I feel the Flames could have is that each one of their guys have competition. Kadri, I feel people love Kadri, the player. I’m unsure they’re crazy concerning the term. And in addition, there’s other centers. There’s Trocheck, who you mentioned. There’s O’Reilly, who we’ll get to. There’s other centers available. So while I do think people like Kadri, the player between the age and the term, I feel that’s the challenge that the Flames are going to have.
And like I said, people like (Blake) Coleman, people like (MacKenzie) Weegar, but there are other players around them. And Conroy has shown he’s not afraid to be patient. And if you happen to have a look at among the deals he’s made to get younger, when he has had some leverage to attend, he’s done a fairly good job using that.

But the important thing I’ve heard there’s that Whitecloud will not be in a rush to go away, and subsequently they’re not rushing to maneuver him.”
