NHL rumors: Oilers, Panthers, Hurricanes, Red Wings, Avalanche, and Devils

Quick free hits on the Oilers, Panthers, Hurricanes, Red Wings and Avalanche

Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: The Stanley Cup may end on June 24. GM Ken Holland's contract with the Edmonton Oilers expires on June 30. The NHL draft is June 28th and 29th and free agency opens on July 1st. Not most of the time.

The Florida Panthers won't have much time to re-sign Sam Reinhart but there is interest from both sides.

The Carolina Hurricanes have had some discussions with pending UFA Jake Guentzel but are likely to explore the options market. They will still be optional and have the bonus of being able to offer eight years.

David Perron's agent, Allan Walsh, is expected to meet with Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman this week. There is mutual interest but a deal is not guaranteed.

Red Wings GM Yzerman is expected to meet with Patrick Kane's (UFA) agent, Pat Brisson, and Lucas Raymond's (RFA) agent, JP Barry, this week.

Jonathan Drouin's agent, Allan Walsh, is expected to meet with Colorado Avalanche GM Chris MacFarland this week. There is mutual interest but a deal is not guaranteed. With the uncertainty surrounding Valeri Nichushkin and Gabriel Landeskog, assume a deal will be done.

Which goaltender would be a good fit for the New Jersey Devils?

Colton Davies of the Daily Faceoff: Tyler Yaremchuk asks Frank Seravalli which goaltender he thinks would be a good fit for the New Jersey Devils.

“I'm going to go off the board, if I'm the New Jersey Devils I'm not going to trade my No. 10 goalie pick and keep that and get a middle pick and say Filip Gustavsson.

I know that's not a very nice word but think between Gustavsson and next year's Jake Allen, those two guys combining for $5 million gives you better roster flexibility and lower acquisition costs. Two years ago we were talking about Gustavsson like “Hey this is the next guy on the Wild.” He had a .930 save percentage that season, he was lights out.

But the Wild have Marc Andre Fleury and he will coach Jesper Wallstedt which is why they have Gustavsson on the block. I know the Devils need to find a solution, I know the fans want that blanket, that big name, but I think they're going to have to agree with Gustavsson and deal with this.
