NHL Rumors: Kings, Senators, Oilers, Islanders, Rangers, and Maple Leafs

Friedman on Kassian, Leddy, Hayes, and Nylander

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: Zack Kassian on the report that the Edmonton Oilers have given his agent permission to speak with other teams.

“I didn’t go in and ask for a trade by any means,” he told reporters. “I definitely don’t need a fresh start…. But at the end of the day, your agent has a job to do. If you get healthy scratched he’s going to make a phone call to the GM and see what’s going on….. There has been indirect conversation that other teams might be interested and he was granted permission to talk to them.
