In this weekend’s NHL News and Rumors -Update, the biggest stories in the NHL this week vary from trade interests and contract negotiations to questions about friction behind the scenes and changing roles on one of the best contenders in the competition. What do the Anaheim -ducks do with Mason Mctavish? Why did Rasmus Andersson erase the air? And what is the role of Paul Coffey with the Edmonton Oilers?
Mason Mctavish attracted interest
James Murphy from RG writes That the Detroit Red Wings show serious interest in Mason McTavish, where the Hurricanes of Montreal Canadiens and Carolina also monitor the situation of the Young Forward. The question is whether the ducks are willing to move the young center with a huge advantage.
Anthony di Marco from Daily Faceoff believes that the Anaheim -ducks will probably keep MCTavish, in the expectation that a bridge contract will be signed soon. The ducks do not seem willing to separate from McTavish at the moment. An offer about the top should come that the ducks forces to pause.
Rasmus Andersson speaks out of trade rumors
In the midst of dazzling rumors, Calgary Flames defender Rasmus Andersson denied the team that he only wants to play for one specific club. Andersson revealed during an interview with Sweden Explicitly That he has not spoken with Calgary lately, but he has informed them about his trade preferences. The rumors are not accurate.
He shared that although he refused a lucrative offer from one team, the team was not on his preferred list of destinations. “But I didn’t give Calgary a team that I only want to play with one team,” he said. “That is not true …” he added, “I communicated that decision to Calgary. I said if you want to exchange me, this is the number of teams for which I can imagine. But this was not one of them.”
In the meantime, Flames Forward Connor Zary is said to be negotiating a three -year deal, but there is a gap between the team’s offer and the desired salary of the player.
Penguins Handelsbuzz is increasing
Josh Yohe van Athletics suggests that veteran attackers Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell can be moved before the season starts when Pittsburgh wants to rebuild GM Kyle Dubas with younger NHL-ready talent. Although goalkeeper Tristan Jarry is probably on the opening evening, Dubas is open to transactions when suitable offers arrive.
ElliGe Friedman notes that trade interviews can pick up later this summer, but nothing is expected immediately.
What is the role of Paul Coffey with the Oilers?
There are some confusing and conflicting reports that come from Edmonton, because it relates to the involvement of Paul Coffey with the oilers. The Hall of Fame defender is no longer an associated coach, but again serves as a trusted adviser for owner Daryl Katz.
However, a recent report from the 2 Mutts -Podcast suggests that Coffey was unhappy with the Evander Kane trade and that Katz Coffey gives more power behind the scenes. If it is true, Ryan Lotsberg of Heavyhockey.net calls the dependence on Coffey ‘toxic’, with the argument that the custom of Katz to turn to Coffey during Crises undermines the authority of GM Stan Bowman and CEO Jeff Jackson.
Critics claim that the passion and knowledge of Coffey are not the problem; It is rather the unclear command structure and informal influence that can cause internal confusion.
