The Rumor Chart is always a moving target...but this past week everything has changed...
The UFA/Trade Market can ALWAYS go one of two ways...
Some years we just see the players get moved/signed in a fairly regular way..this season appears to be headed the other way...where a few key players hold up everything....
Seth Jones looks to be that kind of player, and my guess is by the end of the draft he will be moved...but two more key players have entered the fray in a BIG way...
Jack Eichel and Dougie Hamilton are VERY much going to be dominos that will have to fall before much else can get done....
On Eichel...
Columbus will be all over Eichel this summer...For many reasons...Of course the addition of Eichel would seriously help to temper the loss of Seth Jones....He is a star and he is signed for many more years...Columbus also has the kinds of prospects to get a deal done.
On Jones...
Been saying for months now that the Flyers are targeting Jones. They held onto assets at the deadline JUST to be in on this. Jones' father is a coach with the Sixers...
On Ristolainen...
He is the Flyers backup plan if Seth moves to Colorado...The Flyers have ALWAYS loved this player and almost got him back at the deadline two years ago...
On Freddy Andersen..
Right now this looks like a two-team race between Edmonton and Pittsburgh...If Grubauer were to move on however, Colorado would be in big...
