With training camps around the corner, NHL insiders buzzing about potential blockbuster movements and contract drama. This weekend’s rumors are aimed at updates about Quinn Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Carter Hart and more.
Here is the last of the entire competition:
Quinn Hughes (Canucks)
Elliote Friedman (32 Thoughts) says this is a make-or-break year in Vancouver. How the future form of Hughes could decrease could depend directly on how the Canucks are performing this season. Hughes spoke about his brother’s comments about the two who wanted to play together and said he didn’t mind that Jack spoke the truth. He also said that both have many unfinished things in their respective cities.
Also from Friedman: Chicago is open to Richel, and the 22-year-old attacker understands “It might be time” for a change.
Carter Hart (G, Free Agent)
Chris Johnston (Athletics) reports that Hart “almost certainly will land with a team established in the US.” Edmonton excludes that, his hometown. Johnston also said that a return to Philadelphia is off the table.
Hart wants a new start and is expected to have a contract before 1 October, but cannot officially sign it until October 15.
Sidney Crosby (Penguins)
The unthinkable is at least whispered. Pierre Lebrun emphasizes that Crosby still sees himself as a ‘penguin for life’, but Josh Yohe notes that agent Pat Brisson might be publishing the frustration of his client with the direction of Pittsburgh.
Friedman even drove the idea that the Front Office of Montreal was held flexibility in case a Crosby deal became possible. Frank Seravalli adds that the Canadiens “check many courses.” Although Crosby has not changed ideas or has asked for a movement, rumors seem that the HABS is a landing place this season.
Kirill Kaprizov (Wild)
After rejecting an supply of eight years, $ 128 million, Kaprizov’s camp seems to be waiting for the market, in which Friedman speculates that they are aware of possible deals in the range of $ 19-20m per year. Johnston believes that Minnesota will remain patient until it is clear that Kaprizov wants.
Marco d’Amico reports that Kaprizov’s negotiations are influenced by the hanging expansion of McDavid in Edmonton, who can reset the salary ceiling complic
According to Johnston, Vegas and Eichel close an extension of $ 13-14 million annually for eight years at $ 13-14 million. Both parties want it to be done quickly.
With so many stars on Career Crossroads, this fall could reform the power relations of the NHL.
