The Philadelphia Flyers and Nick Seeler talking
TSN: The Philadelphia Flyers and Nick Seeler have started contract extension talks according to Darren Dreger.
“Now what general manager Daniel Briere has to figure out is what does the cost of that contract look like for a tough-as-nails defensive defenceman – who they love in Philadelphia by the way – versus what they might get in return on the trade front. So, to be determined, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Seeler signs that extension and stays with the Flyers.”
Mark Stone‘s injury leaves a big hole that the Vegas Golden Knights may have to fill
TSN: The Vegas Golden Knights will be without forward Mark Stone for possibly a big portion of the second half of the season and the Golden Knights will have to decide by the deadline how they want to fill the void according to Darren Dreger.
“But know this; any cap space will be utilized by the Golden Knights. But we should make it clear, I remember having a conversation with McCrimmon at the GM meetings last year and he talked about Mark Stone being the heart and soul. This leaves an enormous hole. But they’ll do everything they can to backfill on the trade front.”
