Happy to be back after a couple days off as the NHL took a bit of a pause this weekend…

But not anymore… we’ve already seen signings today and from all I’m hearing we’re about to see some big name players be moved to create space for some of the teams on the bubble of contention…

Right now, there are a few teams with a lot of Cap Space who appeared to be willing to take on some salary while contending teams fill holes.

Who is willing to take on salary?

Anaheim, Chicago, Utah, San Jose and Seattle are the names that keep popping up when I talk to sources who are discussing moving players out…

In NJ….
There are teams interested in Hamilton and Palat…. The Hawks have the most interest in Palat(e4). San Jose for Hamilton(e2)

For the New York Rangers…
There is some interest in Soucy and Trochek…Calgary has some interest in both, but mainly Soucy (e3)

For the Leafs…
Toronto does have nearly $5 million of cap space… However they must still have interest in something larger because they are trying to move some money out I’m told…. Most of the calls they’re getting are on Max Domi. The LA Kings are very interested. Not sure that I would move him, as many times last year in the playoffs he was one of their top players in my opinion.
