Sabres and Blackhawks exchange prospects, Buffalo sending 2016 first rounder Alex Nylander to Chicago for defenseman Henri Jokiharju.

It appears the New York Rangers and the Islanders are again actively pursuing the same player...this time Jesse Puljujà¤rvi. However I'm told the Canadiens may be the top team for him.
Edmonton, after it pays Milan Lucic his $3M bonus July 17 may have found a trade partner to see the winger gone from the Oilers.
More to come...
