Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: The Minnesota Wild are still looking for a No. 1 or No. 2 center.
With regards to Matt Dumba, the Winnipeg Jets have a big need for a right-handed defenseman, but they don’t have a center to offer. The same goes for the Vancouver Canucks. The Calgary Flames could offer a center. When Paul Fenton was the GM of the Wild, he went hard after William Nylander – still not sure the Maple Leafs would do it.
Eric Staal plans on reporting to the Buffalo Sabres and is not going to retire.
