“Now, I said on the radio with (Matt) Marchese and (Mike) Futa, a few people told me there’s a path to an extension with Bobby McMann, we’re not there. I don’t know if we’ll get there. I don’t even know if it’s possible. They trade him and then he comes back in the summer. But I did have a few people say to me, it’s not impossible that you’re done there. We’ll see.

NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs – Bobby McMann and Scott Laughton

Laughton, like I said, and it can always change, and it can change very quickly. I just heard there was a bigger rift with Laughton. That’s it. We’ll see if that can change.

But I think again there are a lot of defenders out there and you have to be careful how you handle things in case someone says, ‘This is too much, and I want to go somewhere else.’ But I do think that the interest in Ekman-Larsson is real.

I really think Edmonton’s interest in Ekman-Larsson is real. And I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with him in particular. Because I think they could if they wanted to.

The price for Robert Thomas and other St. Louis Blues players remains high

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – NHL Trade Deadline: A Buyers’ Market episode on the St. Louis Blues. The asking prices are high, and very high for Robert Thomas.

“St. Louis. Everyone knows they’ve been there for a while, but the prices are high. The price for Thomas is very high. Either another young player younger than Thomas who is a potential 1c, or a Quinn Hughes type deal.”

NHL Rumors: Blackhawks, Kings, Maple Leafs, Flames, Senators, Panthers and Jets

I think the price for (Jordan) Kyrou is high. The prize for (Justin) Faulk, as I’ve said before, is the Rasmus Andersson trade. You know, there’s been talk about (Jordan) Binnington. I think they’ll consider just about anything, but the price is high.
