UPDATE - Wings and Tomas Tatar settle on a four-year, $21.2 Million contract extension.
On Winnik...
Daniel Winnik is a solid 3rd/4th Line Center and the Caps would have liked to bring him back, but it doesn't look possible...The Islanders, Rangers, Wild and Montreal are all in need of depth at center and have expressed interest. One source says there is at least one or two other teams as well...each looking at Winnik as a solid plan B.. Columbus may be one of them...Nashville another...kind of surprised the Devils aren't looking at him...They may be, but I have yet to have a source confirm that...
On Duclair...
Arizona continues to try and get an extension but Duclair's camp knows there are teams willing to go higher than Arizona...According to one source, "A trade could very much be in the works soon if these last line of talks fall short..." Ottawa, Montreal and Boston are all hoping this to be the case....The Isles still are holding out hope for Duchene, but they could get in on Duclair as well.
On Beauchemin...
Lou Lamoriello has always liked Francois and there are some murmurs he could join the Leafs on a training camp tryout....However the Canucks have been trying to get something done here too...
On Mark Streit...
The Nashville Predators have interest I am told...there are some concerns that Ellis' injury could be slightly more concerning and Laviolette likes Streit and trusts him...
We will discuss all this and more on today's Buzzcast at 1pm ET.
