At least that’s what renowned journalist Elliotte Friedman of the Sportsnet network thinks, who shares some of these possible moves in his most recent text “32 Thoughts”.
General manager Kent Hughes, who already owns the very first pick in the draft, would try to get his hands on another high selection in the first round, he who also has the 26th round, obtained from the Calgary Flames in the trade involving Tyler Toffoli, as well as the 33rd selection in total, the first choice of the second round.
Furthermore, Friedman identifies Josh Anderson, Christian Dvorak and Jeff Petry as players who could be sent elsewhere, while “some teams believe that Jake Allen is not for sale”.
In addition, the CH would have had discussions with the Ottawa Senators about forward Colin White. In 2022-2023, the latter must begin the fourth campaign of a six-year contract earning him $ 4.75 million annually. He had affixed his signature to the bottom of this agreement at the end of the 2018-2019 season, when he had amassed 41 points in 71 games. He was never able to exceed a total of 23 points afterward, he who blacked the score sheet 10 times in 24 games last season.
