The #NHLBruins and Utah Mammoth have been engaged in discussions this afternoon on winger JJ Peterka.
One of the proposals Boston had on the table included multiple first-round picks. Utah was mulling options.
This deal isn’t quite done yet.
Just made some lines with a Barzal for Robo swap. Team can absolutely still compete and they’d still have almost all of their assets intact. Also allows Ritchie to go play center. Almost certainly keep our pick for tonight. I’d do it if Robo would sign here.
Remember the Islanders fired Patrick Roy days before the end of the season, because that's how important the playoffs are to them.
Don't expect a package of futures to get things done.
Makes far more sense from Dallas' perspective.
Given the market & teams missing out on top players, I'm told more teams have inquired about #Isles Mathew Barzal, who holds a 22-team NTC.
Among those believed to have checked in: Dallas & Montreal.
Darche's job is to listen, so none of this should come as a surprise.
