Milan Lucic days as a @EdmontonOilers are over. With Lucic waving his no move clause it opens up the trade to @NHLFlames. At this point sounding like a 1 for 1 trade for James Neal. @NHL.

Vast majority of the NHLPA executive board members (29-2) agreed on the return to play format. Now you have to expect the league will make an announcement on the format sometime next week.

Eichel has made it clear he’s willing to go anywhere to facilitate a trade. One of 1/2 doz teams involved tell me a trade is doable as long as the @BuffaloSabres are willing to add “conditional” clauses around how he performs after surgery. ie . games played, scoring etc.

Surprising @NHLBlackhawks would even make a trade involving the future Hall-of-Famer without his prior knowledge. Now there’s a sense he may have found out about this trade through social media. With everything he’s given our game, isn’t he owed better than this? @Line_Movement.
Part of the back-and-forth between #VGK and #Blackhawks on return was Chicago's inkling that Marc-Andre Fleury may choose to not report to CHI in the fall. His heart was in Vegas. Fleury plans to discuss his future with his family. @DFOHockey.

Big question: What happens next with Dadonov? Lots of rumblings Vegas worked on post-deadline trade options in case deal with ANA was voided. Arizona?. Post-deadline deals are permitted, but would NHL allow in this case? Why should Dadonov be punished and his season ended?.

Hopeful for the Canadiens, Shea fully recovers in 4-6 wks. But I stand by my story that the @CanadiensMTL concern going into this week was tendon related and not optimistic for his return. Long term questions I believe remain.

Despite the 3rd @Canes received, I hear a @TBLightning Guentzel deal wasn’t close as of noon EST I hear. Keep in mind Canes remain the only team that can still offer 8 yrs July 1st . Interesting dynamics in this one if TB doesn’t get the state tax discount they are looking for.

Both players told @EdmontonOilers not matching . they are now members of the @StLouisBlues.
Still 75 minutes until deadline for matching Philip Broberg/Dylan Holloway offer sheets…but, judging from the last week's moves (adding a young defenceman and a young forward), it appears Oilers will not match and allow both players to join St. Louis. Expecting formal.
