Sportsnet: Hockey Night in Canada Headlines …
Elliotte Freidman: Belief is the Senators want to try to make a deal happen, and Erik Karlsson wants a deal to happen. They’ve been grinding for two or three days to see if they can make it happen.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are the leading contender. Think they’ve thrown several different trade proposals at each other.
There seems to be stealth contenders out there for Karlsson, teams that haven’t been in the news. One of the teams is Nashville. Some think that Predators GM David Poile is trying to drive up the price for others.
