#NYR
and D Braden Schneider on the brink of agreeing to a 2-3 year 2.5M AAV extension. Should be finalized soon, ironing out the length but everything else is solid. Have to imagine Lindgren is next.

#NYR
are believed to have offered another deal to
#FlyTogether
for Zegras. No Trouba. Kakko, Chytil and Sykora for Zegras. Anaheim weighing options from multiple teams. NYR still interested in Vatrano as well as Ehlers and Keller, but id say Zegras is definitely most likely.

Apparently the holdup I have been reporting with Trouba to
#LGRW
is due to him putting Detroit on his no trade list once he found out thats where
#NYR
wanted to send him. Original
@stefen_rosner
Now it seems
#Sabres
are most likely. Working to see whos going back to NYR.
#NHL

Building off a previous tweet,
#NYR
and
#FlyTogether
have been involved in preliminary talks regarding a deal for Zegras and Vaakanainen. Pieces mentioned are Trouba, Kakko, Robertson as well as picks. Again, very preliminary.
#NHL

#NYR
have been in contact with Vladimir Tarasenko and Kevin Labanc, nothing solid yet but keep on eye on those two. Drury still has some cap work to do.

#Preds
Askarov has interest from multiple teams. Still working to figure out how close a deal is for any one of them, but
#Habs
,
#BlackHawks
, and
#SeaKraken
are among the teams interested as of now.
20

260
#NYR
and
#NHLJets
have been in talks over Ehlers and Appleton, NOT McGroarty.
Rangers have offered Kakko, Chytil, and Othmann for Ehlers and a 3rd rd pick.
Nothing yet but will update as things progress.
Rangers involved with 6 teams this offseason.
#FlyTogether
included.
56

Id say that
#NYR
are the frontrunners to land Zegras if anyone. There has already been confirmed preliminary pieces put together involving Trouba, Kakko, Robertson and picks. There could also be a lower end of this that results in Vatrano as well.
#Flytogether
#NHL
Im hearing Zegras is actually receiving interest from quite a few teams.
#NjDevils
#LetsGoPens
#Isles
#NYR
and
#Vegasborn
all contacting.
#Flytogether
have quite a bit of cap space.

#Sabres
and

trade talks have centered around Zegras from the ducks, and Picks and prospects from Buffalo, and not Vatrano.
#Bolts
still hold lead on Vatrano, with
#Isles
knocking. Anaheim content on waiting for the right deal.
#NHL

#CBJ
Laine is definitely getting moved soon. Trying to work out all the specifics of what the newest
#Habs
offer is, but it includes Jordan Harris, as well as Joel Armia and picks.
Id say that the
#AllCaps
are essentially out of the running.
#Sabres
#Isles
still interested.
34
12
173
#Bolts
have remained interested and stand firmly on their offer to
#FlyTogether
for Vatrano involving Perbix. Something has to give and I wouldn’t be surprsed if this evolves into an offer for Zegras.
#NHL
12

143
#NYR
and
#FlyTogether
have stayed engaged with trade talks involving both Zegras and Vatrano.
There has been a confirmed offer of Chytil, Kakko, and Sykora for Zegras and pick(s).
Only reason this hasn’t gone through yet is because of the amount of interest ducks have gotten.
23
7
135
#Bolts
started to pick things up again with
#FlyTogether
involving Vatrano, and Trevor Zegras. Lightning have the assets to get these guys.
Ducks want a 1st, prospect, and roster player for Zegras.
Something a little less, but similar for Vatrano.
25

131
#Isles
and
#Sens
have resumed trade talks around Pageau. The Islanders want to clear his contract to make room for a bonafide top 6 player. They’ve had serious interest in
#NHLJets
Ehlers, as well as
#Flytogether
Vatrano.
Palmieri has also been mentioned in talks with teams.

The
#Habs
picks are a 1st and 3rd.
#CBJ
have received interest from the Canadiens ever since the Laine news broke.

#AllCaps
have offered AT LEAST a 2025 2nd, as well as Nic Dowd for Laine.
#Sabres
have offered 2025 3rd and 4th rd picks, as well as Isak Rosen.
Still working to find 3rd team details but it sounds like the

#Isles
#Bolts

linked.

#Flames
Have reportedly received an offer from
#SeaKraken
for Mackenzie Weegar that includes Adam Larsson and picks.
#NYR
are another interested team. They’ve discussed Chytil in Kakko in deals for both Rasmus Andersson and Weegar.
#Sharks
have been involved with both teams.
17

#Flames
and
#NYR
have discussed Weegar as well as Rasmus Andersson. Kakko and Chytil have been discussed as parts of a deal. As far as Kakko goes, I cant see him going to
#LetsGoPens
, but
#Sharks
and
#Flames
a real possibility.
#NHL
Is Drury doing some cooking behind the scenes? All of a sudden Iv seen several different rumors pop up on my timeline today
- Buffalo interested in Trouba
- Sharks, Flames, Penguins in on Kakko
- NYR interested in Mackenzie Weegar
Typically right now is when GMs begin their

#NYR
Chytil is name being thrown around quite a bit as well. He was mentioned in one of the versions of the
#FlyTogether
Zegras/Vatrano trade, as well as an
#NHLJets
Ehlers trade. Going to be interesting to see how things continue to unfold for Trouba and the Rangers as well.

NYI have discussed Wahlstrom to be inlcuded in a deal, but very preliminary for them

Definitely would still say
#NYR
lead in the race for
#FlyTogether
Zegras, and probably
#Bolts
for Vatrano. Ducks being very patient and they can also take on a significant contract, making them enticing to
#Sabres
#AllCaps
#Isles
and
#Flyers
. No way ducks offseason is over.
#Sabres

#SJS
have been linked to Kakko for weeks now, as have
#LetsGoPens
.

#Flytogether
are really pushing for Adam Sykora to be part of the Zegras deal along with Kaapo Kakko, Jacob Trouba and Matthew Robertson.
#NYR
have also offered Chytil instead of Kakko but nothing as of now.

Id say that
#NYR
are the frontrunners to land Zegras if anyone. There has already been confirmed preliminary pieces put together involving Trouba, Kakko, Robertson and picks. There could also be a lower end of this that results in Vatrano as well.

Im told the

Marner that includes Necas as well as 3rd and 4th rd picks.
CAR actively talking with Necas, despite his displeasure with team and high asking price of 9M.
#UtahHC
,
#Sabres
,
#FlyTogether
,
#NHLJets
all in contact.
#LeafsForever
Tavares captaincy has been discussed internally, but as of now it looks like JT is staying captain.
As for Marner, Leafs trying to get something for him before he inevitably leaves next year.
Toronto interested in

Necas

#NYR
Trouba situation is settled, he will not be on the team at the start of the season. However, they do not know if they will need to trade him, or buy him out. Rangers working to extend Lindgren, and have reached out to
#NHLJets
and
#FlyTogether
specifically for improvements.
@RogerHicksNHL
Here’s my question tho- if NYR sent in an offer, that would mean they have the Trouba situation settled, no?

actually had a deal for Trouba in place, but ever since the drama arose its been put on hold. Im not sure whats gonna happen with Trouba in regards to how he’s moved as of now, but it can be any moment.
#FlyTogether
,
#Sabres
, and Red Wings are the most likely.

There are still moving pieces to this, but
#NYR
offer for
#UtahHC
Keller involves both Kakko, Chytil and Prospects. Utah has offers from
#Canes
and
#Sabres
as well. So something has to give.
#LeafsForever
still interested.
#NHL
3

34
#LeafsForever
and Mitch Marner have at least begun to talk about contract extension. Word around NHL is Marner is likely going to be on a different team next season.
#Canes
#UtahHC
#Sabres
#NHLJets
Are the most likely teams that he would sign with or be traded to as of now.

On the topic of
#Isles
, their plan is to move Pageau for cap, then acquire another top 6 forward and add a depth defenseman.
#Sens
, and
#Stlblues
have been contacted regarding cap clearing.
#LeafsForever
Robertson and
#NHLJets
Ehlers are Islanders main targets so far.

Kevin Labanc and Jakub Vrana are still on the

board.

#NJDevils
just on Labanc.
#NHL

#FlyTogether
asking price for Zegras is a Roster Player, Legit Prospect, as well as a 1st round pick.
#NYR
can definitely pay that, and i’d guess that they do at some point, whether it’s the offseason or trade deadline, I’m not sure.
A lot depends on Jacob Trouba situation.

#LeafsForever
trade rumors involving Marner, Tavares, and now Morgan Rielly have never been higher. Its believed that Marner is gone after this season, but that the leads may try to get something for him before then.

#NHLJets
and
#UtahHC
are the top 3 as of now.

#Bolts
officially sent another trade offer to

for Vatrano. Lightning offered Ethan Gauthier, Perbix, and 2025 2nd and 4th Rd picks.
More information on how this will end up quite soon.
Both teams continue negotiations.
#Isles
#NYR
and
#Sabres
remain interested.

#NYR
and
#FlyTogether
have continued negotiating, but cap space problematic, meaning this could be more of a deadline type deal.
NYR officially sent another offer to
#Ducks
:
Kakko, a 1st, and Sykora for Zegras and a 4th.
Frank Vatrano has also resurfaced in NYR discussions.

The
#Sabres
have joined the mix now. Have a lot of interest in multiple
#FlyTogether
players. Id definitely say Zegras and/or Vatrano end up in the Eastern Conference, just not sure when it gets done if at all.
#NYR
leading but Trouba is a big issue.

Crosby deal is close to being finalized. Still comes in at 3x10M AAV. The only holdup is how much is guaranteed and paid out in the beginning. Crosby is going to be in Pittsburgh for a while.

are close to a deal that would send Patrick laine to Montreal . « It’s a question of days moreso than weeks before he gets dealt. Montreal is the front runner but there’s 3 other teams involved. » according to source

have agreed to a 2-way 1x775K contract with D Chad Ruhwedel. -
@ColinSNewsday
Ongoing discussions have been going on with D Ryan Lindgren. Sounds like 4.5M per. Term still being ironed out and his arbitration hearing awaits. He can sign a deal before then however.

Marner doesn’t have a desired location as of now, and would most likely follow the money at this point in time.
#UtahHC
and

would definitely be interested, as they have already discusses trades for him.
#Canes
as well in a contingency for Necas.

This was originally the deal, but once it was revealed that there was a major problem with interest for Laine,
#Habs
were able to substantially cut down the deal to just Jordan Harris.

This is a legitimate possibility.
#NYR
Offered Sykora, Chytil, Kaako, robertson and picks so far in some combination for
#FlyTogether
Zegras and/or Vatrano. Rangers really want that top 6 inproved before the season starts.
@RogerHicksNHL
I saw the NYR want Zegras & Vatrano as a package deal. Supposedly, They have a better offer in place.

Im told that similar to
#LGRW
and
#NYR
,
#Sabres
and
#NYR
had actually agreed upon a deal involving moving Trouba to Buffalo, but due to Trouba’s unwavering ability to take the sabres off his list, the deal fell through.
#Sabres
continue to be active in the market. They are actively trying to acquire one of
#NHLJets
Ehlers or
#FlyTogether
Vatrano. Buffalo has also expressed in
#Canes
Necas and
#LeafsForever
Marner in the event that one of them are moved.
The Sabres look to use their cap space.
