Ready for the defensemen market to open up
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Some groups suppose that Chris Tanev is holding up the commerce market. He’s getting loads of curiosity, and as soon as he’s dealt, groups might circle again to Sean Walker, Alexandre Service, Tyson Barrie, Ilya Lyubushkin and Nick Seeler.
The Calgary Flames could also be in search of a second-round decide and a prospect for Tanev. The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t have a second-round decide and the Flames need their first. If the Maple Leafs do hand over a primary for Tanev, would suppose that they’re assured that they’ll re-sign him.
Groups will name the Buffalo Sabres about defenseman Erik Johnson however they Sabres could view his management as extra essential than a mid-round decide. The perimeters could discuss an extension. If Johnson desires to go to contender, he could possibly be moved.
