The trading freeze has been lifted and the list of sellers could start to grow
Sekeres and Price: The NHL trade deadline is a week from next Friday and the trading freeze has been lifted. The list of sellers could grow.
Matt Sekeres: “In the meantime, the NHL roster freeze is being lifted, and it sounds like the Canucks will have a lot of company among the sellers here, Blake.
Since the games started, it has been reported that St. Louis and Nashville will be aggressive sellers. Calgary Flames is already a declared seller. We know the New York Rangers are restructuring. They distributed another letter.
And we’ll see what Winnipeg, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto will choose to do. And there are a few other teams there too, Jersey and Ottawa, that might be sellers when it’s all said and done on March 6. days from the lifting of this roster freeze until the NHL trade deadline. So it’s a short sprint.”
NHL Rumors: Does Elias Pettersson Even Make Sense for the Kings and Canucks?
The Calgary Flames are listening to MacKenzie Weegar, but there is no guarantee he will be traded
Flame nation: Darren Dreger on the Calgary Flames, and whether the Flames will trade defenseman MacKenzie Weegar before the March 6 NHL trade deadline.
Dean Molberg: “Mackenzie Weegar’s name seems to be coming up more and more now. Rumor has it that the Ottawa Senators are some kind of team. It was like Andersson or Weegar, one or the other, we’re probably going. Anderson is gone. Is there any chance Weegar could be on the way too?”
Dreger: “Potentially, but I don’t think it’s foreground stuff. You know, Ottawa. Yeah, I’ve read Bruce Garrioch’s speculation and I’m not shooting it down. I think Steve Staios and the Ottawa Senators would look at the contract player term and say, ‘Okay, that makes sense for us and our group.’
The other team, and I think I’ve mentioned it before on the show, is the Detroit Red Wings. So that’s what it takes: a team that isn’t interested in the rental market, that needs that type of defenseman, that values him and, and has whatever pieces that will force Conroy and the Calgary Flames to make that trade.
NHL Rumors: What’s Going On With the Calgary Flames?
But every time I ask about MacKenzie Weegar, it’s not a hard “No.” Calgary isn’t in a position where they can do that. They have to listen to almost everything. But I still think it’s a bit too early to say he’s 100% on board. I think it’s more listening and maybe projecting, based on other conversations Conroy has about other players.”
