While the opponent for Zach Werenski and Team USA for Gold is to be determined, these games have been an absolute blast watch live and in reels. Physicality; goal scoring; and drama all over Montreal over the weekend. Boston will have the week. International hockey is so back; and belongs in the league. The fans and players deserve this.
Onto the rumor mill…
Elias Pettersson (VAN)
While it sounding like he is coming off the block, the teams I’ve heard connected include the Sabres (Cozens/Byram); Carolina (pre-Necas); Detroit; Minnesota; Dallas; Ottawa (Norris); Columbus; and Boston.
Brock Nelson (NYI)
Sounding like he will re-sign a new extension with the Islanders, the Wild; Stars; Caps; Jackets; Bruins; Avalanche; Jets; Maple Leafs; and Canucks have been connected. Toronto and Washington have been the front runners.
Brandon Tanev (SEA)
The Fourth Period has Toronto (brother), Washington, New York Rangers, Vegas, Ottawa, and Columbus in the running for the Kraken winger’s services. Tanev leads forwards in blocked shots.
Gus Nyquist (NSH)
According to Michael DeRosa of the HockeyNews/ProHockey Rumors, speculation of a Nyquist reunion in Columbus could be on the horizon if made available. Watch out for the NYR, OTT, CAR, FLA, COL as more legit contenders.
Dylan Cozens (BUF)
Per Josh Erickson of ProHockeyRumors and Spencer Lazary of THN — CBJ could be interested.
Wings are front runners.
Watch for CGY, PHI, VAN
Rickard Rakkell (PIT)
Same reported suggested Rakkell and Columbus as a fit.
James Reimer (BUF) / Vitek Vanecek (SJS)
Erickson also speculated CBJ could upgrade goaltending.
Noah Dobson (NYI)
The Islanders have been made their best defender available ahead of the deadline. Montreal is the front runner. According to Spencer Lazar of THN, a Werenski/Dobson duo could work in Columbus.
Casey Mittlestadt (COL)
Per Jason Newland THN - CBJ could be a fit as Colorado doesn’t love Mittlestadt. Watch for BOS, CGY, WPG.
F Oliver Bjorkstrand (SEA)
Spencer Lazar of the Hockey News Lists Columbus, Utah, and Vancouver as the best fits for a Bjorkstrand trade.
D Jamie Oleskiak (SEA)
Per NHL Trade Talk Trade Board, the teams interested are CBJ, DAL, TOR
