The Minnesota Wild have checked a number of potentially available centers
TSN: Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin has been making the rounds and seeing who is available, according to Pierre LeBrun, and that would likely be after the Olympic break.
“I think Ryan O’Reilly would be perfect for Bill Guerin and the Wild. I just don’t know if O’Reilly is available yet. The Predators have been competitive and I don’t think O’Reilly wants to stop doing things there in Nashville. So I don’t know if he’s actually on the market.”
Vincent Trocheck, the Rangers sell. We just talked about it. Trocheck – Bill Guerin has a connection with him through Team USA. I think that’s a player of interest to Minnesota.
I just mentioned Coyle. I believe the Wild have signed with Columbus. Wherever you see downtown between now and March 6, remember Bill Guerin and the Wild because that’s what they hope to do.
NHL Rumors: Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche
The Wild will likely be paired with the Dallas Stars in the first round and could have the Colorado Avalanche next.
The Ottawa Senators have spoken with the Calgary Flames about MacKenzie Weegar
The Ottawa Citizen’s Bruce Garrioch: The Ottawa Senators have been searching for a top-four defenseman all season, and sources have said they have spoken with the Calgary Flames about MacKenzie Weegar.
Weegar, 32, is from Ottawa. He has a cap hit of $6.25 million through 2030-31, and he has a full no-movement clause. At first glance, it seems like he would be fine with a trade to Ottawa.
The Senators talked to the Flames about Rasmus Andersson, but he was not interested in signing an extension with the Sens.
Ottawa shouldn’t be looking at the rental market as it may not make the playoffs. Since Weegar has a run time, it makes sense because they are close and little other adjustments are needed.
NHL Rumors: Predators, Maple Leafs and the Blue Jackets
A league director for Weegar and the Sens.
“The Senators were sitting on Andersson, and Weegar would be a fit. He brings some grit and good leadership. He’s a good player who can help them. He’s competitive and can play on the power play. He could be a good fit.”
