Kevin Weekes: “What’s the newest now you’ve got him? Raleigh’s an awesome place to live and play. Played there. Understand your complete marketplace. Now, where does it stand? Would you guys be actively attempting to sign Rantanen, or is that a conversation that can evolve over time?
Tulsky: “Yeah, I mean, in fact we’d like to get it done. We’re talking to him and his agent. You realize, realistically, he needs somewhat little bit of time, right? He’s, he’s played in a single place his whole profession. He doesn’t, his first day in Raleigh, right? So time to get to know us, get to know the town, get to know the coach.
But you’re right. We’ve quite a bit to supply. We’ve a very good team. We’ve a very good place to play, and we’re confident that as he gets to know that he’s going to feel comfortable and we’ll discover a approach to get this done.”
NHL Rumors: Changes to the NHL Salary Cap and How Will teams Handle it?
4 names are off trade boards already, and a few teams may should be convinced to maneuver players
Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet: The 4 Nations Face-off starts in every week, and there’s already been several notable trades over the past few days. J.T. Miller, Marcus Pettersson, Mikael Granlund, and Cody Ceci are actually off the board.
Will the Columbus Blue Jackets hold onto Ivan Provorov as they hold a wild-card spot? Will someone offer up enough to persuade the Chicago Blackhawks to retain some money on Seth Jones? Rasmus Ristolainen is a right-handed Dman that can interest teams.
Trevor Zegras is back within the lineup and can be back within the rumor mill. Will teams start calling the Boston Bruins, and can they entertain trading Brad Marchand?
