Are you looking for forward depth…
Kevin Weekes: Have heard that teams that are looking for bottom-six depth have looked at Washington Capitals Brandon Duhaime and Florida Panthers A.J. Greer.
The Utah Mammoth still have top pieces to add even more
Pierre LeBrun: The Utah Mammoth sent the Calgary Flames a good package for defenseman MacKenzie Weegar – three 2nds, a prospect, and Olli Maatta – but it didn’t even put a dent in the Mammoth’s collection of top assets.
“The Mammoth didn’t trade away any of their top-5 prospects and still have their first-round picks for this year and next. Which is to say, Utah remains well positioned to take another wing at Robert Thomas. Or look at something else.”

Scouting the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs
Jim Biringer: Scouts listed to attend last night’s Devils – Maple Leafs game include the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, New York Islanders, and St. Louis Blues.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are getting action on Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton and Troy Stecher
Chris Johnston: “While the #leafs continue to explore the trade market on Bobby McMann, they haven’t ruled out signing him to a new contract. Yesterday’s Kiefer Sherwood extension (5x$5.75M AAV) is a favorable comparable for McMann, although he likely has to come in under $5M to stay in Toronto.”
David Pagnotta: Maple Leafs defenseman Troy Stecher is available and has been generating some interest.
NHL Media: Elliotte Friedman, when asked about the Toronto Maple Leafs sitting out Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Bobby McMann and Scott Laughton for roster management last night, and what it means for the next day or two.

“But I think that the Maple Leafs know there’s enough potential action around all three of these players that they didn’t want to risk it night. But as I was told earlier , in all three cases, nothing was imminent.
Now, I think that Laughton, I think, has teams like Colorado looking at him potentially (Leafs traded Nic Roy to Colorado). Ekman-Larsson, I’ve heard that it’s been teams like maybe Boston or Detroit have been among the teams that have been looking at him potentially. And McMann, I think it’s a whole bunch of teams.
