@Account4Hockey: Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet 590: “Leafs making lots of calls, thinks Brown is getting shopped – asking price 2nd, thinks they’ll ask teams for Marner packages though they don’t want to trade him, there’s been internal debate on merits of trading Kadri. Not afraid to be bold.” (not a direct quote from Friedman)
Jim Matheson: Former Edmonton Oilers interim GM Keith Gretzky may have laid the groundwork for a Connor Brown trade back in February. He could be a third-line possibility for the Oilers. If it’s a dollar-for-dollar deal, maybe it involves defenseman Matt Benning.
