Friedman: Ducks "at the forefront" of NHL trade chatter

Elliotte Friedman was on Calgary’s Sportsnet 960 on Monday morning.

On NHL trade talk:

“I think now also all the teams are finishing their scouting meetings, and I think we’re going to hear a lot more trade chatter. And one of the things I’m definitely hearing at the forefront is Anaheim. I think we talked about it on Friday and I heard some more on it on the weekend. I think there are teams expecting the Ducks to make a move for a defenseman. Another name I potentially heard linked with them on the weekend was Cody Franson from Toronto, if the Maple Leafs decide they can’t sign him.”
