The New Jersey Devils are listening to Simon Nemec
Pierre LeBrun: “The Devils continue to listen to Simon Nemec, who needs a new contract this offseason. New Jersey will put him in the right package for the team’s top 6 young impact player.”
The Philadelphia Flyers are not getting the offer they want for Rasmus Ristolainen. Will they settle down?
Anthony Sanfilippo: “From what we’ve heard so far, Rasmus Ristolainen’s offers haven’t been what the Flyers want, but the question is, will they pay less?
I’m starting to think they will.
If you look at what Buffalo traded to Winnipeg for 2 defensemen, you can get an idea of what they might have been willing to pay for Risto alone. There’s still plenty of time, and it’s a game of chicken at the deadline, so maybe the best offers start happening as the morning/afternoon progresses, but who blinks first, if so?”
NHL Rumors: Will New Jersey Devils Trade Simon Nemec Or Other Defensemen?
Can the Nashville Predators move Nick Perbix
Marco D’Amico: “Player of interest is Nick Perbix. Big, experienced RHD signed to 1-year extension for $2.75M. Has the kind of profile teams want.
Nashville is considering a number of options for their non-core pieces, will be curious to see if he makes a move. “
Is it possible for Jonathan Marchessault to continue?
David Pagnotta: “Teams have reached out to Nashville about the possible availability of Marchessault. The belief remains that he may be considering a move to a top contender.”
Jonathan Marchessault says he’s happy with his no-movement clause, but refuses to say whether he’s talked to Barry Trotz about a possible trade. pic.twitter.com/ThVdUJb189
