The Philadelphia Flyers aren’t able to move first-round picks yet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Charlie O\u2019Connor<\/strong><\/a>: Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere said that he\u2019s still not at the purpose where he\u2019s trying to trade future first-round picks, but that they’re getting closer to that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know we\u2019re quite there yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re definitely willing to listen on different ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mason McTavish Rumors: St. Louis Blues, and the Montreal Canadiens<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordan Hall<\/strong><\/a>: The Flyers are all the way down to 4 picks within the draft, but Briere said that they’ve made quite a lot of picks up to now two, three years, so it\u2019s not that big of a deal. Briere hasn\u2019t ruled out acquiring more picks leading as much as and on the draft.<\/p>\n

Rick Dhaliwal<\/strong><\/a>: The agent, Peter Wallen, for Vancouver Canucks defenseman Marcus Pettersson<\/a>, shoots down the rumors that his client wants out of Vancouver. Says they’re 1000% not true.<\/p>\n

Vancouver Canucks GM on bad contracts, reclamation projects and free agency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Thomas Drance of The Athletic<\/strong><\/a>: Vancouver Canucks GM Ryan Johnson<\/a> when asked about trading for veteran players who’re on bad contracts but have leadership qualities, or who’re reclamation projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an option that we’ve got to contemplate, but we’ve got to have in mind budgeting and where we sit with contracts and with the players on our current roster. We are able to\u2019t just exit and add any variety of players without understanding that we first need to subtract.<\/p>\n

That is all stuff we\u2019re working through as a gaggle and talking through. These are all things that may go into the puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Where Could John Carlson Land?<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnson on free agency:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we glance to do on July 1 might be determined by what the total picture looks like. At this point, it\u2019s difficult to say what free agency will appear like for us, based on what could possibly change between every now and then.<\/p>\n

If the query is, with what we\u2019re attempting to do and where we would like to go, are we going to be attempting to get there through free agency? Then I\u2019d say the reply might be not.\u201d<\/p>\n
