NHL Rumor Report: Frank Seravalli on Kevin Karius shows that Nashville Predators first offered Luke Evangelista $1 million each for two years.
David Pagnotta: Neither Nashville Predators nor RFA forward Luke Ivangilista had any traction as of Friday morning. They spoke about a three-year contract earlier this week. They have been focusing on two-year contracts. Evangelista has some moves, but the predators are unwavering and there is still a big gap. This is definitely a head scratcher.

NHL Rumor: Can the team lure Marc-Andre Fleury to retire?
“He likes his skills. The current regime is not as hard as they say, and it’s hard for him to change the scenery. Now, it’s controversial for him to fit here for $1.2 million.”
Mark Spector: Bowman draft Reichel and the Oilers need young.
“Reichel is soft, probably not the top 6 center, hopefully he can be. In a place that is not considered the first rd’er, a new start is needed – like Podkolzin.”
