Steven Stamkos will be a sought-after player in the coming hours. But the question we must ask ourselves right now is whether the Nashville Predators and the player really want to consider a departure at this point.
Nothing is less certain, considering that the player has said he does not want to leave. But that does not stop teams from calling Barry Trotz, of course. And once teams start calling, who knows what might happen.

Pierre LeBrun says that a few teams in the East have called in recent days.

No offers have been made, and we imagine that this would require a salary cap hit. However, we can see that the veteran is still in demand.

My prediction: the Preds are laying the groundwork for a summer trade.

More information about Colton Parayko's intentions

Colton Parayko has refused togo to Buffalo. But that doesn't mean he won't be traded by tomorrow.

There is still interest in him in the NHL… and the defenseman also has preferences, as he has a no-trade clause.

According to Kevin Weekes, Parayko would like to stay in the West, and there are two clubs that have targeted the defenseman: the Ducks and the Kings. At least, that's what Weekes reported in a recent tweet.

Parayko is still one of the big names on the market. He didn't want to waive his no-trade clause to play with the Sabres… but still: he's being talked about as a guy who might change addresses before tomorrow.

Big right-handed defensemen are rare, after all.

And the fact that Parayko is experienced and a veteran who has already won the Stanley Cup may be appealing to some clubs…

Things are heating up in Philly

The Flyers are six points away from a playoff spot. And everything indicates that Daniel Brière would potentially like to improve his team… because he's stuck his nose into the Robert Thomas file in St. Louis.

Kevin Kurz (The Athletic) reported the information in an article.

That said… there's one name that's getting a lot of attention in Philly right now, and that's Nicolas Deslauriers.

There is interest in the rugged forward right now.

And the Flyers, even though they are just a few points out of the playoffs, could still decide to send him elsewhere if the price is right…

So things could be shaking up in Philadelphia.

I wonder if a guy like Owen Tippett could be of interest to other clubs… because we've already heard his name mentioned in some rumors over the past year.

It will be interesting to see how Daniel Brière plays his cards.

News about Sergei Bobrovsky

Will Sergei Bobrovsky be traded by tomorrow?

That's the question on everyone's mind right now. We know it's a possibility, and we also know that the goalie – who wants a long-term contract – has been linked to the Canadiens in recent days.

But according to Pierre LeBrun (The Athletic), we should also keep in mind the Golden Knights and the Hurricanes.

Both Vegas and Carolina may be missing the guy who can make a difference in front of the net.

And that's where Bobrovsky's name could become interesting, especially given that his contract (which has a cap hit of $10 million) expires at the end of this season.

As a rental player, he could prove to be the perfect solution… as long as he agrees to waive his no-trade clause to leave Florida.


In a nutshell

– It's up to him now.
