NHL Rumor: Brady Tkachuk will be with Ottawa Senator for a Long Time
Host: “Jim, there’s only one. It’s a quiet offseason, a relatively quiet offseason. We’re guaranteed to get noisy throughout the offseason. That’s not yet. What can we expect, though maybe as the team starts reporting camping?
Maybe a team like Carey Price, look at Habs and its long-term contracts, and maybe there are some other teams that might want to raise some salary to free up more space. Very quiet. We were told no. From now on, it’s interesting, we’re just saying, is there a chance when the team starts reporting to the camp? ”
Jim Biringer: “I don’t want to guarantee anything more. During that time we were in the offseason, I think we might be a little longer. But, as you mentioned, Mason McTavish still needs a new contract. Marco Rossi still needs a new contract, a new contract. Luke Hughes still needs a new contract. Everyone is waiting for an expansion, maybe Kirill Kaprizov and Connor McDavid.
NHL Rumor: New Jersey Devils and Luke Hughes still need to reach a deal
I think that as we get closer to the end of August, as we get closer to bootcamp, that will get a little more understanding. Because these teams will want those players who are attending training camp, right? Look at what happened with Jeremy Swayman in Boston last year; you don’t want to go missing time. Similar to what happened in Anaheim a few years ago, when Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras signed the bridge deal. They missed most of the camps and both were injured. You don’t want to lose time, harm, all the possibilities add up.
For me, I think this is where the negotiation process will start to add a little bit. I think it’s a long season. This season has been condensed. It takes some time for guys. Finally, everything was packed with July 1 and everyone just wanted to take a moment to see what was going on there. Relax a little. But now, we have to get back to the hockey business and train camp around the corner, and I think things will increase. ”
