"In Philly in particular, the word is if you want one of their valuable players who might be available, you may have to take another contract if you want that deal done."

"Between the Flyers and the Jackets, is there a fit there for Edmonton? There has certainly been talk."

"But in the short term, I think he will try to make some deals."

“Because I really do think it’s too soon to give up him, unless you’re getting something enormous in return.”

"I think Edmonton has sort of been fishing on him a little bit. I think teams like L.A. were contacted."

“Often in this situation, suggestions are made that coach has lost the room. Hall made it clear to GM that isn’t the case in his eyes.”

“I think if they ever put, say, Eberle on the market, I think there would be a lot of teams who would be interested that  may not be able to make the move now."

“I think there’s a lot of teams trying to find out if they would deal Eberle.

"I think they’re probably looking for somebody else to help them ease their scoring load a little bit. It’s still, I think, too much on Ovechkin.”

"The toxicity of the eight years not in the playoffs and the losing and all of that that goes with it, that... the psyche starts to be damaged of the individuals that are there."

“I think a guy whose name you’re going to start to hear as the season progresses for where he’s going to be in the future is going to be Luke Richardson."

"I believe in what he can bring to the team. It’s just a matter of every single guy buying in and building some chemistry and building bit by bit, so that they can get better.”

"At one point, I think - this is way back, but I think they were looking or asking for Curtis Lazar. Well, that’s not going to happen."

"So Brad Treliving and the Calgary Flames are very much in the market. They’re looking to make some deals. But they’ve got to be the right deals."

“So as long as Philadelphia continue to play as inconsistently as they have, then those trade rumors aren’t going to go anywhere.”

"David Perron sure expects to be traded, but I don’t think there’s any sort of official timeline as to when that might happen.”

“There could also be some of those pieces involved in other deals that Craig MacTavish is working on. We know that he’s working on a lot of them."

“The question then becomes is there a fit with these teams for those players and do they want to give them up."

“The Philadelphia Flyers are definitely hungry, so maybe there’s a fit between Philadelphia and Edmonton"

"Last night, it seemed to be hot and heavy with the Columbus Blue Jackets."
