Mike Johnston of Sportsnet: Looking at some players who could have their names in trade rumors this season.
Rasmus Ristolainen – Buffalo Sabres – Has had his name in the rumor mill most of the offseason and he won’t say if he’s asked for a trade. The Sabres have nine pending UFAs, so if they struggle early one, Ristolainen may not be alone in getting moved.
Brayden Schenn – St. Louis Blues – The Blues also have to re-sign Alex Pietrangelo, so it may not be easy to do both.
