2:30pm update per Dreger: Detroit D Nick Jensen going to WAS for Madison Bowey and a 2nd round pick. A 5th going to WSH well.
Also Jesse Puljujärvi Having season ending surgery. This doesn’t mean however that he still could not be moved to a team who wants him long-term. I have been following New Jersey who has interest....
From earlier:
The deal is done!
Per Lebrun the deal is...Abramov, Davidsson and a 1st RD pick for Duchene and Bergman. And a conditional 1st RD pick if Matt Duchene signs with Columbus.
This not only topples the Duchene Domino, but the Panarin one as well. As I wrote this morning and yesterday...the Jackets aren't getting strong enough offers and are going to keep Panarin and Bob for the playoffs...
What's next?
The Preds were also in on Duchene, but the price was too high for the sometimes inconsistent forward...Zuccarello has ALWAYS made more sense for the Preds and can be gotten for much less...
The Isles will HAVE to respond to Columbus loading up.
Mark Stone and Wayne Simmonds prices are going up, up, up...
