On the Maple Leafs …
Per league source, Kessel trade talk remains significant coming into today. Phaneuf talk has died down. Their bonus payments are made today.

On the Ducks and Bieksa …
Expect the Ducks and Kevin Bieksa to get a 2 yr extension done today. Aav could be less than what it is now ($4.5). Around $ 4 mil. #TSN

On Joel Ward …
The Joel Ward camp remains very confident of getting a four year deal. More likely he stays in the Eastern Conference I'm told.

On the Jets …
Expect D Adam Pardy to re-sign with #nhljets but not sure it gets done today. Team and player like fit.

On the Kings and Kopitar …
All I know is that there have been preliminary conversations. I don't forsee this dragging our the entire summer https://t.co/crryrfGfq7

On if Phaneuf to Kings is possible …
Leafs hold some salary, Kings sending back player(s) with salary. Clearly doable on paper. https://t.co/yjKGCdbggV

On the Kings …
Thomas Greiss among the UFA options the LA Kings have looked into. Greiss has other teams in mix, too. Solid backup, cap-friendly option
