Players in the rumor mill and if they should be traded now or not
Kevin Allen of the USA Today: Looking at some players who have had their names in the rumor mill and if their teams should trade them now.
William Nylander – Toronto Maple Leafs – Deal – If they are able to get him signed to a bridge deal, they’ll still have cap issues and the next round of contract negotiations won’t be any easier. The Carolina Hurricanes could be a good fit.
Wayne Simmonds – Philadelphia Flyers – No deal – Doesn’t make sense for the Flyers to move the pending UFA now.
