UPDATE - Minnesota has dealt F Charlie Coyle to Boston for Ryan Donato and a mid-round pick. Bruins add secondary scoring as expected.
*******
A few quick hits...
* I am hearing a lot of talk at this hour that Kevin Hayes is now a target for the Maple Leafs....
* According to a well placed source, the Flyers have had some discussions with Minnesota regarding Spurgeon and NJ regarding Lovejoy...
* The Canadiens have inquired about Eric Staal...
* Wayne Simmonds is garnering a ton of interest: Tampa, Nashville and Boston...
* Duchene could be heading to Nashville, but the Islanders and Blue Jackets are still in this as well...
* Wouldn't be surprised if Columbus kept Panarin and added a big time player to make a serious run this year.
