On John Carlson....
The Caps are going to have a very hard time keeping Carlson but an even harder time keeping him after this year's playoff run. The Caps are going to be spending a ton of money this summer and while Carlson has been a huge part of this core you have to wonder what happens moving forward...MANY teams are interested and will give him money in the 8 range...including Vegas...Toronto and Buffalo are also willing to go pretty far to attract Carlson I am told...
On Phil Kessel....
The Penguins are looking to add help on the defensive end of things, but Malkin is really pushing for Kessel to NOT be traded....
On James Neal...
So far I get the impression its 50/50 he is retained in Vegas...unless James is willing to take a shorter deal..I was told Vegas would offer great money on a three year deal, and Vegas is an attractive enough destination to ask James for that...The Islanders and Sabres may offer James Neal more money...
On Calvin de Haan...
It doesn't sound like the Islanders will be bringing back Cal...I am hearing a ton of interest from Anaheim...not sure the connection to the Ducks, but I am told there is one that will likely land de Haan is So Cal...
Tonight I am meeting up with one of my favorite sources, who is in town for only this evening, I will have more to come tomorrow morning....if not before...
