David Pagnotta: "I’ve heard the Rangers are still an option. But if (Tarasenko) doesn’t know his own future, that suggests to me he’d be open to moving to other playoff contenders. Would the Hurricanes, Knights, Wild or #Flames be acceptable to him?" thefourthperiod.com/pagnotta/taras…
"Bertuzzi... is being dangled and several teams have reached out about his availability. As a result of a lack of contract talk, one source close to the situation told me they now “expect” Bertuzzi to be dealt by the deadline..."
"...Teams like the Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars are all looking to bolster their top-six and Bertuzzi would be an affordable option with his $4.75 million cap hit."
"With clubs like Colorado, Carolina and Winnipeg continuously linked to Jonathan Toews, another team to add to the mix – and this one caught me off guard – is Washington. The Capitals have interest in Toews, but I do not know if he’ll consider them an option."
"You can remove Florida from the Jakob Chychrun sweepstakes as they are not willing to move the assets to make it happen. But as our Dennis Bernstein first reported over All-Star Weekend, keep an eye on Boston here."
"Barbashev and his $2.25 million salary cap hit are generating a lot of interest. With all the attention focused on ROR and Tarasenko, the race for Barbashev could be greater."
"A thought... If the Carolina Hurricanes do something out of left field and bring in a centre with term and big money, can they convince the other team to take back Jesperi Kotkaniemi?"

Do you ever sit and reminisce about the 2014-15 Calgary Flames? They had awful analytics and underlying numbers, but they were fun as hell. If only this year's current #Flames were even half as fun.
The team and the fans had so much fun that year. Take me back. #Flames
The city was alive then. Feels like a distant dream now. #Flames
