Nazem Kadri would be a fit in Detroit, same with Alex Tuch in New Jersey
Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet: The Detroit Red Wings could use a No. 2 center to slot behind Dylan Larkin. Calgary Flames Nazem Kadri could be a nice fit there.
The New Jersey Devils could use someone like Buffalo Sabres Alex Tuch on their top two lines.

Can see a Quinn Hughes extension in Minnesota, but you can’t say for sure

Quick hits on Kiefer Sherwood, Rasmus Andersson, and Ryan O’Reilly
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: The Vancouver Canucks haven’t set a specific asking price for pending UFA forward Kiefer Sherwood, and would be open to scenarios depending on what assets the team has. It could range from a young player to a prospect to a draft pick.
The Calgary Flames will need to decide whether to allow Rasmus Andersson‘s agent, Claude Lemieux, to talk to teams about a potential extension or look to move him as a rental. The Flames might take one more shot at extending Andersson.
The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t have many assets left and need a top-six forward, but they could revisit Andersson after making an aggressive offer last season. Believe that Andersson might consider signing with the Leafs. Don’t think the Leafs have enough to land Andersson and a top-six forward.
