This guy is out of Ottawa, so who knows how true it is.
AJonSports:
• Oilers and Kings working on another trade. Hearing Sam Gagner to LA is very close.
• Kyle Clifford the expected return for Edmonton if Gagner deal goes through.
Pretty sure he's the guy who kept calling Ryan Murphy "Steve Spott's son" at last year's world juniors, lol.
He probably still has some connections in Deadmonton.
Real_ESPNLeBrun: Hearings talks have intensified over past few days between Edmonton and LA Kings over Sam Gagner... Whether it gets done or not, not sure...
According to pundits Ott is on a lot of wishlists.
ChrisBottaNHL: Told now that Red Wings are out on Vanek. Don't want to give up 2-3 assets to rent him.
More Kings-Oilers:
TSNBobMcKenzie: It's complicated because of LA's cap issues — EDM would have to retain salary? — and LA may have to give up another piece. Stay tuned.
Renaud Lavoie says the Islanders are "trying hard" to trade Vanek by tomorrow's deadline.
TheFourthPeriod: EDM asked about Muzzin from LA but were told no last I heard. Martinez could be in mix with Clifford, but LA also wants to bolster D elsewhere.
Teams with cash-flow issues probably don't want to have to pay UFA's with no arena revenue coming in for the next 17 days.
