Staple saying Panarin may be available. Any interest here ? Rags would have to eat a lot of salary.

He was excellent during the regular season. Did not have a great playoffs.

I am heartened to see that Toronto has as good a chance of winning the Cup next season as the Bolts. This will cheer up their fan base.

Couple of other notes to keep an eye on: sounds like things are intensifying on the Kevin Fiala front, and we could get clarity on BOS coaching situation today.

What’s your thoughts on Fiala? Do you want him and if you do what would you be willing to give up?

I was just going to post this... let's hope that Bailey's old teammate really wants that veteran presence in his locker room.. (and a pick of course).

I don't think Fiala is the answer to our problems. I like him and would be thrilled to land him, but I just have a bad feeling about him continuing his production from the last few years. No evidence behind that.

Not really sure what we'd have to give up, seems like there will be a lot of competition for him and if we have to use the 13th overall pick then that probably takes away our ability to trade for an offensive defenseman.

Im not exactly sold on him either. That trade starts with our first rounder. Guerin is looking to shed salary. Not exactly a great trade scenario for a team like us that needs to unload salary.

According to sources, the #mnwild have traded the rights to pending restricted free agent Kevin Fiala to the #lakings for their 2022 first-round pick and University of Minnesota captain Brock Faber

Hearing the #LAKings will sign Kevin Fiala to a long-term extension as part of this trade with Minnesota.

They have their sights on someone else that will most likely sign elsewhere

I think this would be a mistake.
