Darren Dreger: Oliver Ekman-Larsson‘s agent Kevin Epp has set a trade deadline of Friday to either the Boston Bruins or Vancouver Canucks: “We think the best option for a trade is before free agency,” Epp told TSN. “If no deal by Friday, Oliver is staying in Arizona.”
Joe Haggerty: “Interesting dynamic with OEL really dictating a lot of this situation through his NMC. It’s obviously in the Bruins best interest to have finality before free agency opens”
Andy Strickland: “Safe to say Arizona isn’t giving away OEL…player has given team two teams to work a trade with, which isn’t ideal.
