A few quick hit rumors for you this morning before the moon obstructs the sun and evil is unleashed on the world a few hours from now...
On Ryan Nugent-Hopkins...
With the Leon Draisaitl deal done it is no surprise to hear RNH's name being mentioned again in trade rumors. Before trading for Ryan Johansson it is amazing how close the Predators came to trading for Nugent-Hopkins. But now there is a team which makes a ton of sense and honestly I believe it would be the best thing for RNH: Montreal. The Habs need a No. 1 center and RNH needs a fresh start, and according to at least three sources, it could very well happen.
On Thomas Vanek...
Vanek in Edmonton? Sound familiar? Well according to an NHL source it is being considered and honestly I think Vanek in Edmonton could turn out to be the best cheap signing of the summer. Vanek still has game but has always performed MUCH better when playing with other skilled players. That is also why the Isles have considered him.
