I'm in the process of gathering info for the next Rumor Chart update. NHL teams Hockey Op folks are still mostly in summer vacation mode. However, there's still communication going on internally and externally.

Specific to Patrik Laine, I've heard that the Chicago Blackhawks are the No. 1 team that is eager to acquire him for a fresh start in another city. The idea of getting Laine together with Connor Bedard makes a TON of sense. Have also heard Carolina, the Islanders and LA have interest. Utah is a dark horse.

More to come...
