NHL Rumour Report

John Shannon: I still think we're going to see a bump of trades coming, and so what we're also then gonna see is a second wave of free agent signings; guys like Roslovic and Olofsson are gonna be in a position...they will get contracts - Inside Hockey (Jul 17)

Michael Russo: Re Marco Rossi contract: Major difference in opinion on his value, from Marco's side to what the Wild think he's worth; the Wild do not want to go over Matt Boldy; I don't even think they want to go in the $6m dollar range - DFO Rundown (7/21)

Arbitration hearing dates according to PuckPedia: Arvid Soderblom (Blackhawks) - July 28 Maksim Tsyplakov (Islanders) - July 29 Dylan Samberg (Jets) - July 30 Conor Timmins (Sabres) - August 2 Nicholas Robertson (Maple Leafs) - August 3 Jayden Struble (Canadiens) - August 3

The Fourth Period: Re Lukas Reichel: "Teams have been calling about Reichel and the Blackhawks have been listening", "Chicago is looking to package assets for immediate upgrades" (7/22)

Frank Seravalli: I'd imagine the Leafs aren't done, if there's a move to be made out there, if you think back to...all the different names that have moved, they've...been in on...60-75% of those players - Bleacher Report (7/22)

David Pagnotta: Re Canucks: They want to do more; they still want to add a top six guy - Hello Hockey (7/19)

Frank Seravalli: Re Kyle Connor: I would peg that next contract somewhere between $11 and $12 million AAV; obviously a huge priority for the Jets to get done - Bleacher Report (7/22)

Frank Seravalli: Re Kaprizov extension: I would ballpark somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8 years x $15 million dollars, that's just a guess; they're working away on that deal - Bleacher Report (7/22)

Frank Seravalli: A bit of a question would be what happens with Artemi Panarin moving forward; I'd have to think there's a way to work out a new deal for the 'Breadman' - Bleacher Report (7/22)

David Pagnotta: The Oilers...they are looking for another top six guy - Hello Hockey (7/19)

Michael Russo: Re Marco Rossi extension: I think he's a little worried about signing some sort of bridge deal...and then getting buried and not being able to prove himself fully...and hit that homerun contract next time - DFO (7/21)

David Pagnotta: Re Nazem Kadri rumours: I think there's an openness to explore it, but I don't think there's any sense of urgency; I think Calgary is perfectly comfortable...planning to start the season with Kadri - Melnick in the Afternoon (7/21)

David Pagnotta: Re Leafs: They're still looking for a top six guy, they'd still like somebody on that right side - Hello Hockey (7/19)

Michael Russo: Re Marco Rossi extension: Right now they're in total shutdown mode; I don't think they've had a conversation in 3 or 4 weeks; they were I think playing a game of chicken to see if he'd sign an offer sheet - DFO Rundown (7/21)

David Pagnotta: Pittsburgh, yeah they're selling everybody, almost, no Crosby's not getting traded; they're willing to sell, but it's a high price - Hello Hockey (7/19)

Elliotte Friedman: I thought it was really smart Dallas found a spot for Neal Graham on the bench, because otherwise they would have lost him; this isn't the last time the Stars are going to be asked - 32 Thoughts Podcast (7/6)

Nick Kypreos: Kadri has not asked to be traded, Calgary has not approached him; you can't tell me that Calgary's not contemplating it or at least understanding the marketplace; if the price is right Kadri could be had - FAN Pregame (Jul 15)

Nick Kypreos: Re Bowen Byram: It really looks like he's gonna start the season in Buffalo - FAN Pregame (Jul 15)

Chris Johnston: Re Erik Karlsson: They're not gonna retain half of that [salary] for anybody - Steve Dangle Podcast (7/15)

Michael Russo: Re Kaprizov extension: "I think he's definitely going to surpass Draisaitl", "it's not going to be for $14m; he will be the highest paid winger in the NHL, the question is how much and how long" - DFO Rundown (7/21)

Michael Russo: Re Kaprizov extension: What I checked on the last couple days, they are not close; they're going to take a little bit of a breather here; when Kaprizov gets back into town I think that then Guerin will meet with him - DFO Rundown (7/21)
