On the Tampa Bay Lightning …
Fits with what Yzerman said yesterday, “We know where we’re at” with Stamkos #TBLightning https://t.co/0vOtf7RLSV

McKenzie: “I don’t think Tampa is moving off of what they offered” Stamkos, which I’m going to guess is eight years at $8.5 million per.

Expect more conversations with #TBLightning and its restricted free agents this weekend. Yzerman hopes they can keep them all, cap allowing

On the Chicago Blackhawks …
Not sure Blackhawks can get new contract done with Andrew Shaw without moving Marcus Kruger. There’s definitely trade interest in Shaw too.

On the Minnetoa Wild …
Keep an eye on #mnwild. Some dialogue there. With high prices for Subban and Shattenkirk, #mnwild have a couple second-tier options on D.

Panthers have plenty of cap space, no rush to trade Kuli, plus he could play the right side if he had to #flapanthers #kuli

On the Arizona Coyotes …
As a follow to previous tweet, Shattenkirk to Coyotes is not dead, but team has had other talks. Wild RHD Matt Dumba is player of interest.

Hearing that St. Louis Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk is no longer a primary target for the Coyotes. They’ve turned attention elsewhere.

Coyotes CEO Anthony LeBlanc had preliminary talks with AEG about extending lease 2 more years at Gila River Arena while new arena is built.
— Craig Morgan (@craigsmorgan) June 24, 2016
Anthony LeBlanc says arena financing will likely be public/private but more than 50% of funding will be privately financed by Coyotes.
