Elliotte Friedman - NHL Now - Michkov | I'll just say this. Like Michkov and his teammates have to work on their relationship with each other. And it sounds like both sides have grievances that they're right about and both sides probably have done things they would regret or shouldn't have done. And I think that's the big challenge here. I think organizationally the relationship between the player and the people around him are a real work in progress. And but I do think that the Flyers management is saying, we have to do everything we can to make this work and we are not giving up until we feel that we have done everything we can to make this work. - 11/13 #NHL #LetsGoFlyers
Elliotte Friedman - NHL Now - Edvinsson: I think there's a few things in the Edvinsson situation that play a factor in all this. Number one, there is the December 1st. And I do think there's a little bit of who's got the stronger nerves? Who bends first? One of the things that some reporters who live in Sweden have told me is that they believe that if it goes past December 1st, he's prepared to play there. Like that's how strong his resolve is. - 11/13 #LGRW #NHL
Pierre LeBrun - The Athletic - Karlsson | The Penguins and Karlsson’s camp, led by power-broker agent Craig Oster, will likely convene sometime in January and figure out next steps. There’s been strong communication between the sides throughout, and Dubas has a lot of respect for Karlsson, so there’s no question this will be handled in an orderly way. - 11/13 #LetsGoPens #NHL
Elliotte Friedman - FAN Hockey Show - #Leafs | (Chayka) He wants to add something that he thinks is significant on the blue line and not a scotch tape measure. Like they have talked about how if they are going to move their best available assets, however you identify them, it's not going to be for a stop gap kind of thing. We're doing it for something that matters. - 11/13 #NHL #PassionNeverSleeps
Pierre LeBrun - The Athletic - Michkov |
I don’t think the Flyers want to trade him, but where there’s smoke, there’s fire underneath all the denials and noise. It’s definitely a situation to monitor moving forward, especially come July if he’s still unsigned and can entertain offer sheets as a restricted free agent. I would imagine the Flyers would want to know where things are with their star player before exposing themselves to an offer sheet situation July 1. - 11/13 #LetsGoFlyers #NHL
Frank Seravalli - EST Afternoons - #LetsGoOilers goalies | There's two things about Jarry that make him relatively unpalatable to the rest of the league. One is his injury history and two is the fact that his contract is essentially buyout proof. You are stuck with that deal when you acquire it, [...] So I don't know that it's going to ever improve to a place where he has value. I actually look at it a little bit differently with Levi. My question wouldn't be when could we move him, my question would be when's the right time to extend him?- 11/12 #NHL
Elliotte Friedman - FAN Hockey Show - #LGRW situation | The Red Wings started off really well and I thought extremely well considering they're missing the number one center and #2 defencemen. But eventually it gets harder to win and they're in a streak right now too. So part of it to me is when is enough, enough? Like one of the teams that's doing really well this year. I really like Ottawa. I think they've got a really good team. And one of the things they did really well was they just said, we're ending this, we're taking our best deal and we're moving on. And sometimes I sit here and say, is that the right approach? Like you just say, we're ending this and we're moving on. - 11/13 #GoSensGo #NHL
Chris Johnston - Nielson Show - #Leafs | The kind of move the Leafs have to make would be complex. And so I'm not saying that trade isn't coming at some point but I don't think there's any sort of immediate hope on the horizon. They've even got restrictions because the situation with cap tight. So I do think they have to ride through it. They're trying to find solutions. - 11/13 #NHL #PassionNeverSleeps
Elliotte Friedman - DMase, Vingan & Daunic - #Preds & Edvinsson | I think that MacFarland to me is always a guy, if he thinks he does something to make the team better, he'll do it. So if he can make a deal for Edvinsson and get him and keep him, I still think he does it even though you guys are doing well. I think he looks at it as it makes your team better today and in the future because he's such a good player. - 11/12 #LGRW #Smashville #NHL
Bruce Garrioch - Toronto Sun - #Canucks | Vancouver has assets that would be attractive to teams that consider themselves a contender. A league executive says that several clubs have shown interest in forward Jake DeBrusk - 11/12 #NHL
Chris Johnston - Nielson Show - Jim Hiller | I don't think anyone credibly is saying he's on the hot seat. Like no one's actually believing he's going to be fired after 20 games. - 11/13 #Leafs#NHL#PassionNeverSleeps
