On the Minnesota Wild and Marco Scandella ….
Michael Russo: “#mnwild has a few balls in the air right now, things heating up, I’m told. Any trade consummated could come closer to the draft”
Michael Russo: “#mnwild has something cooking. Sounds like Scandella. Wild has been asking for a first-round deal in any package”
Steve Conroy: “Hearing Scandella’s salary — $4 mill for next 3 years — might be too high for B’s liking. We’ll see. Things change quickly”
Jimmy Murphy: “Per an NHL source, #NHLBruins now in on Marco Scandella.
David Pagnotta: “A few teams still trying to pluck a defenseman from Minnesota… Seems like much depends on where Hamonic ends up.”
Joe Smith: The Lightning have been looking for defensemen and the Wild havea few options.
On Kevin Shattenkirk …
Elliotte Friedman: “Lot of talk about NYR using space for Shattenkirk. They liked Yandle a lot, but were wary of term there. Someone like BUF makes more sense”
WGR 550: “Buffalo has been linked to interest in Kevin Shattenkirk”
Stephen Whyno: “#NYR could be serious players July 1. Shattenkirk?”
Stephen Lorenzo: “Frees up space for Shattenkirk if they want to go that route, but #NYR suddenly have no centers”
On the Philadelphia Flyers …
Jimmy Murphy: “Hearing lots of #Flyers chatter right now and Claude Giroux keeps coming up.”
On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
James Mirtle: “I don’t believe Leafs are after Colin Miller at this point. Pursuing more high profile options on blueline. Going to be tough.”
On the Washington Capitals …
Isabelle Khurshudyan: “btw, still think Oshie stays in Washington. That might be what has handcuffed Caps in making moves. Limited salary cap room.”
On the New York Rangers …
Dan Rosen: “Gorton said NYR like Deangelo a lot but D is a work in progress. He did not rule out more trades. He said it’s a deep trade market now.”
On the Arizona Coyotes …
Sarah McLellan: “Despite two big trades that address some glaring vacancies, #Coyotes still exploring other opportunities.”
On the Colorado Avalanche …
Jimmy Murphy: “With regards to Matt Duchene, I wouldn’t say any team is “out”. #Avalanche still trying to move him, but need to come down on demands!”
