At the least 4 teams have shown interest in Jake DeBrusk<\/strong><\/h2>\n

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period<\/strong><\/a>: 29-year-old Jake DeBrusk isn\u2019t desirous about a Vancouver Canucks rebuild. He has five years left on his deal at $5.5 million, and a full no-movement clause.<\/p>\n

The Ottawa Senators, Seattle Kraken, Winnipeg Jets and Columbus Blue Jackets are among the many teams which have shown some interest.<\/p>\n

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period<\/strong><\/a>: There’s some belief across the league that the Vancouver Canucks could be willing to retain some salary in an Elias Pettersson. That\u2019s not saying they may retain a big portion, but in the event that they drop the $11.6 million down a bit, it will help. Would they go as little as getting it $8.6 million and would that help facilitate a move. The Sedin\u2019s need to work with Pettersson to see in the event that they can get him going again.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Calgary Flames Wish to Add Young NHL Players<\/p>\n

Quick hits on the Lightning, Raddysh, Carlson, Zacha, Hischier, Thomas, Benn, and Ovechkin<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic<\/a><\/strong>: Get the sense that Tampa Bay Lightning GM Julien BriseBois didn\u2019t think Darren Raddysh\u2019s sample size was large enough to award him a giant contract like he got from the Maple Leafs. BriseBois didn\u2019t get close in term or money to the eight-year, $8.5 million.<\/p>\n

Expect the Lightning to be desirous about defenseman John Carlson. Think there might be five Eastern teams after Carlson.<\/p>\n

The Boston Bruins are listening to calls on center Pavel Zacha. He\u2019s got one yr left on his contract at $4.75 million and might be after big raise after his 30 goal, 35 assist season. Extending is a priority for the Bruins, but when talks don\u2019t go well, they\u2019ll consider offers. He has an eight-team no-trade list, that was submitted to the Bruins on April 1st.<\/p>\n

A Nico Hischier extension can\u2019t be finalized until July 1st, but it surely looks as if the majority of it it done. The Recent Jersey Devils had been looking long-term, Hischier short-term, they usually could also be meeting in the center.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s sounding like incoming St. Louis Blues GM Alex Steen doesn\u2019t intend to trade center Robert Thomas.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Jets, Panthers, Flyers, Canadiens, and Senators<\/p>\n

Dallas Stars Jamie Benn is a pending UFA and it\u2019s expected that he\u2019ll sign an identical one-year, $1 million base salary with bonuses.<\/p>\n

The Washington Capitals aren\u2019t putting any pressure on Alex Ovechkin, who is predicted to make a choice on next yr, sometime in July.<\/p>\n
