This a weekly feature that rounds up news, rumours, and interesting things happening around the NHL.
There’s a surprisingly fair trade in late November! Derek Dorsett retires. Seattle arena is on track for approval. The Oilers are putting out feelers for their depth guys, and Montreal is willing to move defenceman Brandon Davidson.
Anaheim traded Sami Vatanen and a conditional third-round pick for Adam Henrique, Joseph Blandisi, and a 2018 third-round pick. This feels like a fair trade on both sides. Both Vatanen and Henrique are good players who aren’t top players, but can play in that middle range, either on the second pair or second line.
