"The belief is that Jake Guentzel had an ask for Carolina which I believe is 8x8..

I think the Hurricanes have indicated that they will do that contract and now we're waiting to see if it gets hammered out"

The Nashville Predators have received numerous calls on goalie Yaroslav Askarov in the last 24 hours in the wake of the Juuse Saros extension news. The Preds are willing to move him but have set a high price they feel is warranted. Nashville would like to move into the top 5 of the first round tonight via an Askarov trade. So far there hasn’t been a fit. But the Preds will keep talking to teams.

Patrik Allvin says Nikita Zadorov is going to hit free agent market on July 1st.

The #Oilers have signed goaltender Calvin Pickard to a two-year contract extension with an AAV of $1 million.

The Flyers will buy out the remainder of the contract of forward Cam Atkinson, according to General Manager, Daniel Brière.

Cam Atkinson buyout details:

The 2025 pick is top 12 protected. If it goes to the 2026 pick that one is unprotected. If the Oilers trade the ‘26 pick, then the Flyers automatically get the ‘25 pick
