- Darren Dreger via twitter: Raffi Torres suspension has been reduced by 4 games. He’ll miss 8 regular season games next year instead of 12.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: The Hurricanes are out of the running for Ryan Suter.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: Jaromir Jagr wants to play in Montreal, but other teams are saying he wants $4 million for 1 year. Could take some time.
- Bruce Garrioch via twitter: The Predators offered Filip Kuba a similar deal to the one he took from the Panthers. He still has a home on Tampa.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: If the Ducks are to trade Bobby Ryan, they want a few pieces including a 2nd line center. Jim Matheson via twitter: If the Flyers really want Bobby Ryan, they would have to give up either Brayden Schenn or Sean Couturier and then work out the other pieces. Chuck Gormley of CSN Wahsington: The Capitals could be quietly looking at Bobby Ryan or Rick Nash. Gormley wonders if a package that included Marcus Johansson, Dmitry Orlov and the rights to Evgeni Kuznetsov would get it done? The Caps could look to invest in a veteran like Shane Doan or Jiri Hudler, on along the blueline in Matt Carle or Bryce Salvador. Jim Matheson via twitter: If Ducks and Sabres are talking about Ryan, you can bet the Sabres are peddling Derek Roy. The Ducks should be hot for Luke Adam or Marcus Foligno too.
- Elliotte Friedman via twitter: Toronto is no longer on Rick Nash’s trade list.
- Andy Strickland via twitter: The Blackhawks have been aggressively pursuing Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. Some players are helping recruit Parise.

Gee, I’d never touch a package with 2 Russians included. Kuznetsov especially has half foot constantly in the KHL. If Johansson would be a 2nd line C, Caps would have never traded for Ribeiro. Try the Jackets with that deal, but even they won’t bite.
Regarding Philly, it’s spot on, about the Buf deal, you can bet Ducks are peddling to avoid Roy (he’s an underproducing dwarf) and pushing hard for the likes of Myers, Adam and Armia.
