Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: Can see the Vancouver Canucks increasing their efforts to trade defenseman Erik Gudbranson. It’s doubtful that they are interested in re-signing him, so they might as well see what they can get on the trade market for him. The trade hasn’t worked out well for the Canucks or Gudbranson.
The Winnipeg Jets let teams know last week that forward Shawn Matthias is available. The pending unrestricted free agent has only played in two games in the past five weeks.
The Edmonton Oilers could move forward Anton Slepyshev.
