Rumored 3-team deal involving Jack Eichel between the Buffalo Sabres, Ottawa Senators and New York Rangers

The Calgary Flames have continued to take calls on Matthew Tkachuk, but multiple sources have told me the asking price is astronomical.

Columbus Blue Jackets
Columbus Blue Jackets could pursue Dallas Stars’ defenseman John Klingerg in a Seth Jones trade
Teams are still talking with one another ahead of the NHL Draft this Fri/Sat (freeze lifts Thurs at 1pm ET). One item I keep hearing, as noted in my piece today on TFP, is Dallas remains very interested in Seth Jones. There's some chatter John Klingberg's part of discussions.

Friedman believes Seattle likes #mnwild goalie Kaapo Kähkönen
— NHL Watcher (@NHL_Watcher) July 20, 2021
According to Elliotte Friedman, HNIC the Minnesota Wild, along with the New York Rangers, are favorites for Jack Eichel
Looks like #mnwild are currently frontrunners for Jack Eichel with #NYR just behind them.

Montreal Canadiens
Montreal Canadiens UFA forward Phil Danault is not expected to re-sign in Montreal
Speaking with sources, there's absolutely no truth to there being a deal between Phillip Danault and #SeaKraken. Not even negotiations.
However, at this juncture, it's highly unlikely Danault will be back with the Canadiens. @Sportsnet— Eric Engels (@EricEngels) July 20, 2021
Montreal Canadiens are expected to pursue New York Islanders forward Anthony Beauvillier
Hearing the Canadiens have been actively exploring the forward market, looking to add up front. One player they’ve inquired about is Anthony Beauvillier.

Nashville Predators
Elliotte Friedman, HNIC says that the Seattle Kraken will select forward Calle Jarnkrok from the Nashville Predators in the NHL Expansion Draft
Friedman and Marek on 31TP both don't think Matt Duchene or Ryan Johansen will get selected.
They expect the Seattle pick to be Cale Jarnkrok.

New Jersey Devils
New Jersey Devils are looking to move defenseman PK Subban
PK Subban on the move again? #NJdevils looking for a taker for the former Norris winner. One more year left on contract. Heavy cap hit.

New York Rangers and Seattle Kraken could have a potential NHL Expansion Draft day trade in the works
I can't shake the feeling that NYR and SEA may have some sort of deal in place.
Mostly because, I have no idea why Drury would protect Hajek otherwise.
Maybe he couldn't get a deal done in time but to me that feels strange.
— Ryan Mead (@OhRyanMead) July 20, 2021
New York Rangers have a high-asking price for forward Pavel Buchnevich
Won’t be easy to pry Pavel Buchnevich away from the #NYR but #stlblues among those with serious interest. 20 goals and nearly a point per game this past season.

Ottawa Senators could be a 3rd team in a Jack Eichel Trade

https://twitter.com/Ieafsfan/status/1417500548597788675?s=20
Don’t overreact to the leak. There could well be 5-6 cuts of the fish catch expansion selection.
“OK take 2”
*catches fish* “Travis Dermott”
“Good, good, and take 3”
*catches fish* “Jared McCann”
“Nice, love it! Take 4”
*catches fish* “Frederik Andersen”
“Yeah, baby!”— Thomas Drance (@ThomasDrance) July 20, 2021
Seattle Kraken are not close in contract negotiations with UFA forward Gabriel Landeskog
https://twitter.com/HockeyHoundShow/status/1417615792120778761?s=20
Seattle Kraken could select up to 5 goalies in the NHL Expansion Draft tomorrow and flip two of them
There’s chatter a few teams are interested in the goalies available in the Expansion Draft and have discussed Seattle selecting them and then flipping them. We’ll see if any goalies get picked and end up elsewhere.
— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) July 21, 2021
St. Louis Blues
Seattle Kraken could select forward Jaden Schwartz from the St. Louis Blues in the NHL Expansion Draft
Friedman on 31TP says Seattle likes Jaden Schwartz a lot, has heard Vancouver is in there, Colorado too if they lost Landeskog. EF hearing Los Angeles is in there as well.
Says don't be surprised if Schwartz ends up being Seattle's pick from St. Louis.
