Friedman wondered if the Arizona Coyotes might flip center Derek Stepan at some point but wasn’t sure if they would. He notes the Buffalo Sabres aren’t moving Jack Eichel or Ryan O’Reilly. “And unless you think Sam Reinhart is a center, he’s probably not the answer to your question either.”







SPECTOR’S NOTE: Of those mentioned by Friedman (and he’s not saying any of them are available), Nugent-Hopkins seems the most likely trade candidate. He’s among the few brights spots for the Oilers this season and I think they’d like to shed salary before Connor McDavid’s big contract kicks in next season.

RNH’s trade value is probably high right now and I believe there could be considerable interest if he becomes available by the trade deadline. Of course, his $6 million annual salary through 2020-21 is a sticking point, one that makes an offseason move more likely.

I kind of read that like they're going to move Reinhart at some point

Everyone but Eichel can go at this point.

I would seriously consider moving ROR

He has 1 less point than Eichel

The only way I would move him would be to get a true #1 D plus to free up cap hit.

He needs to be better but he isn't the reason this team sucks

with eichel being so offensive-minded i think i'd keep ROR around. overpaid sure but value wise still brings plenty and i can only imagine when the defence looks okay he'll be asked to do a little less.

- Stripes77

Sure, partly because he's deployed like a #1 center.

Points per 60 5 on 5

Eichel - 2.58 - 42nd in the NHL
ROR - 1.73 - 164th

Shots per 60

Eichel - 7.57
ROR- 5.97

Assists per 60

Eichel - 1.48
ROR - 1.35

We need someone better than ROR playing 20 minutes a night.

He is part of the reason we are bad, they use him as if he's freaking Steve Yzerman

Part of the reason he is playing all of these minutes is because the franchise guy doesn't play well in his own zone and gets kicked out of almost every faceoff he is about to take let alone win one....

I went round and round with Fitz about this.

ROR gets a ton of offenisve minutes and advantages

He's on #1 PP, always on the ice in the last minute if we need a goal.

He's 78th in offensive zone starts per 60.

Easier deployment than Auston Matthews
