NHL Rumors: Who May Be the Busiest Groups on the Deadline?
Jay Onrait: “And you recognize, you stated it, the Canucks very clearly for it. For the Flames, it’s nonetheless a bit murky. Is that this only the start? You and I talked about this on yesterday’s present. Is that this only the start for Craig Conroy right here? Or the place is Craig Conroy’s head at?”
Pierre LeBrun: “Yeah, and you recognize, what I discussed final night time, Jay was that groups which were calling the Flames over the past couple of weeks, we’re getting totally different solutions. Are you prepared to begin, you recognize dumping guys or not? And we’re getting totally different solutions.
Effectively, I feel we simply acquired our reply, and the actual fact is, by the way in which, that one other pending UFA defenseman, Chris Tanev, who’s in big demand, there’s a dozen groups that wish to get in on that motion. He was a reputation that was introduced up on this commerce dialogue between Calgary and Vancouver, sources confirmed. So this might have been an excellent greater deal that we’re speaking about.
NHL Rumors: Chris Tanev, Sean Monahan, Kaapo Kakko and Phil Kessel
However I feel the sort of property that Calgary wanted for that to be a part of it was too excessive a worth for Vancouver to pay, however I suppose, Canucks might hold tabs on Chris Tanev between now and March eighth, but in addition Noah Hanifin pending UFA we’ll see the place that goes.
And so I do suppose this indicators for the Calgary Flames some kind of roster reset for positive. And in the case of Lindholm, by the way in which, who’s clearly a pending UFA Jay, you recognize, contract talks actually have been nowhere between Calgary and Elias Lindholm. The truth is, they actually stopped going wherever earlier than the beginning of this season, is what I’m informed. A large hole they usually by no means actually acquired going once more after that. So this was most likely all the time what was gonna occur until the Flames have been sitting in a playoff spot.
I keep in mind. Craig Conroy made an enormous deal when he acquired named GM a few years in the past that they weren’t going to lose big-time UFAs for nothing, which is what occurred with Johnny Gaudreau.”
