According to Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast, among the big three current contract negotiations of Adam Fantilli, Drake Batherson and Gauthier, he believes Gauthier will get the most of the three, as he’s heard the Ducks have made progress on a deal and that with all the trouble they’ve had through from a cap hit situation this offseason, they’re ‘motivated to get it done.’ F...

MONTREAL — A $2.15-million, one-year contract for a six-foot-three, 232-pound, 35-year-old winger who has over 1000 games of NHL experience and is still producing at a reasonable rate is hardly a gamble. You could even say the Montreal Canadiens stole Chris Kreider after the remainder of the player’s six-year, $45.5-million contract with the Anaheim Ducks was ripped up on Thursday. There was one year left on it, with $4 million owed to Kreider, and he turned away from it — and from bigger-mone...

The Columbus Blue Jackets are in a tough spot. As noted last week by Elliotte Friedman, the price tag for top restricted free agent Adam Fantilli has undergone a major shift over the last couple of months. The Jackets were ready to do business with a "Before Carlsson" price, but are now looking at an "After Carlsson" price. Of course, he's referring to the bombshell $18M AAV offer sheet that Leo Carlsson signed for with the Philadelphia Flyers (and was matched by the Anaheim Ducks). ...
