Insider Trading: NHL questions Lightning about controversial Stanley Cup rally – TSN
TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger join host Gino Reda to discuss whether or not the Montreal Canadiens are willing to trade their first-round pick in search of some offence, the latest on Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s market and if the NHL has reached out to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the wake of their Stanley Cup celebrations.
Canadiens open to moving first-round pick?
With the Stanley Cup handed out and the NHL off-season in full swing, what are the Montreal Canadiens looking at doing this winter to address their needs? Is their first-rounder on the table?
LeBrun: Interestingly enough, Marc Bergevin, general manager of the Habs, said in an interview with Marc Antoine Godin in The Athletic posted Thursday that he is open to trading his 16th overall pick in the first round which matches what I’m hearing from other teams around the league who suggest that he is open to it, but what he’s looking for is a top-six forward that would augment that offence that obviously needs some help for the Montreal Canadiens. I don’t sense that there’s a match right now, but obviously the Montreal Canadiens have until the draft next Tuesday to see if there’s a match.
What’s Ekman-Larsson’s market looking like?
With rumours swirling that Oliver Ekman-Larsson could be on his way out of Arizona, are the list of potential suitors being narrowed down?
Is the goaltender market hot?
In this short off-season, could we potentially see a lot of movement on the goalie front?
Was the NHL not thrilled with the Lightning’s celebrations?
We expected the Tampa Bay Lightning to party hard after winning the Stanley Cup. But did they party too hard given some of the non-COVID-19-friendly celebrations that have emerged on social media?
Reda: By the way, some news on Steven Stamkos, his general manager Julien BriseBois says his captain had sports hernia surgery before the pause. That was fine, but his rehab triggered another injury. But they fully expect him to be ready for the start of next season.
