On the Pittsburgh Penguins …
Pierre LeBrun: From understanding that the Penguins and Vegas had an agreement involving Marc-Andre Fleury back on March 1st – that Fleury would be heading to Vegas.
On the Winnipeg Jets …
Ken Wiebe: When Jets defenseman Toby Enstrom agreed to waive his no-movement clause, the Jets and Vegas didn’t have a deal in place to protect him.
On the Montreal Canadiens …
Eric Engels: As of yesterday afternoon, indications were that the Canadiens and Alexander Radulov had yet to agree on a contract extension. The door is still open to get something done and it could get done in short order.
Eric Engels: Defenseman Andrei Markov is likely to sign a new deal within the next few days. How many years does he have left though?
On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
Bob McKenzie: “As for all these Colin Miller to TOR rumors, driven in part by Dubas/Keefe connection, I’d never say never, BUT it may be more media driven.
Bob McKenzie: “Miller to TOR may make all kinds of sense, and who knows, maybe it happens, but my understanding is it’s not been on their radar recently … Maybe that changes…”
Renaud Lavoie: The Maple Leafs are one of teams that are interested in Vegas defenseman Colin Miller. Trade a strong possibility.
TSN Sports: Ray Ferraro thinks that Miller could be a like a right handed Jake Gardiner.
Joe Haggerty: Looking like Vegas intends to flip Miller to the Maple Leafs or someone else.
Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: There is lots of speculation that the Maple Leafs could trade for defenseman Colin Miller.
The Leafs are looking for defensemen and the 24-year old Miller fits what they are looking for. The right handed defenseman carries a $1 million cap hit next year before becoming a RFA.
Kyle Dubas was the GM in Sault Ste. Marie when Miller was there.
