Ron Maclean: “What about, I saw Sean report that David Savard was out tonight, and I’ve got some eyebrows raised. Is it a trade thing?
Friedman: “No upper body he was expected to play, but he’s out with an upper-body injury.
So just a few other things that we are keeping an eye on around the league right now. In Boston, lost again today. They’ve definitely been out there trying to see if there’s something they can do to shake them up. But there’s definitely a lot of intensity in Boston.
Nashville, which is on a Western road swing right now, everybody knows they’ve been looking for a center. I think they’re looking at their blue line too.
Columbus is in Montreal tonight. David Jiricek, a young player, first round pick a couple years ago. He’s not playing Don Waddell said tonight, that he hopes to sort this out over the next few days.
NHL Rumors: If Sidney Crosby Decided to Move On From the Pittsburgh Penguins…
And we were on a couple weeks ago we talked about Montreal looking for a forward with edge. One thing I’m definitely seeing out there is if you have one of those players available, they are going to be highly coveted with the time comes.”
