It looks like trading or buying Jack Campbell
TSN: Chris Johnston said the Edmonton Oilers are considering their option to move on Jack Campbell, after signing backup Calvin Pickard to a two-year extension on Friday.
“The Oilers have been in talks to release Campbell from his contract and if they don't do that, the buyout window closes on Sunday, and they're willing to use it.”
The buyout will save the Oilers $3.9 million next year, $2.7 million in 2025-26, $2.4 million in 2026-27 but there will be three more years of a $1.5 million cap hit.
Jonathan Marchessault and the Vegas Golden Knights continue to negotiate
Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: Jonathan Marchessault's agent, Pat Brisson, yesterday:
“We had discussions with Vegas. Apparently July 1 is approaching. We are at a clear point that if we have an agreement it will be announced. So we don't have it. So we will continue to have discussions.”
Is there any way for the Florida Panthers to re-sign Sam Reinhart, Brandon Montour, and maybe extend Carter Verhaeghe?
Tom Gulitti of NHL.com: Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito hopes they can sign Sam Reinhart.
“I won't say anything except that we hope he will come back and we are trying to keep as many boys as we can,” said Zito. “So, I'm optimistic and we'll see.”
Zito doesn't know if he will be able to re-sign both Reinhart and Brandon Montour, but added that “there is a way.”
“I am happy that the boys are doing well, the boys deserve to be paid and the boys deserve bigger and better opportunities,” he said.
Andy Strickland: It sounds like the Florida Panthers will re-sign pending UFA Sam Reinhart and extend forward Carter Verhaeghe.
Reinhart will likely get more time and less than Aleksander Barkov ($10 million) and Matthew Tkachuk ($9.5 million).
Max Miller: Elliotte Friedman said on the Pat McAfee Show that the Florida Panthers likely don't have cap space to sign pending UFA defenseman Brandon Montour and that he may be headed to the open market.
