After the Mintyukov deal (and provided they match the Carlsson OS) the Ducks currently sit with $9.973,395 of cap space according to @PuckPedia.
And still have Cutter Gauthier to do.
Hearing Nikishin is heavy on the Boston Bruins’ radar. Interesting considering all of their moves on defense already. With 8 NHL defensemen currently on the roster, wonder who gets the cut. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Jokiharju and Lohrei.
Many non credible sources are claiming you reported Nikita Zadorov rejected a trade to Edmonton recently @TheFourthPeriod
Can you confirm, deny or clarify this claim?
@JoeyMcDermott18 Sturm does not trust him, simple as that. He is solid offensively, but forwards take advantage of his lack of closing ability and his defensive limitations
I think it was probably Jokiharju. Zadarov for Nurse is not something Boston would do right now.
And I assume Jokiharju will be in the press box all year unless he agrees to a trade.
David Pagnotta reports that Boston & Edmonton had a trade in place to send Darnell Nurse to Boston. A player that was part of the deal heading to Edmonton exercised their no trade clause and vetoed the deal.

Alex Ovechkin via #Caps: “I’m back! Thank you to everyone for giving me and my family the time to make this decision. I’m healthy. I love playing hockey and competing to win. I’m excited to come back and join my teammates so we can fight for a playoff spot and have a chance to win. See you in September, DC!”
