Rumor: Treliving rumored to be interested in acquiring Evan Rodrigues per David Pagnotta and agent Darren Ferris or Sonny Milano per Pagnotta

[Rubi]

His agent, Darren Ferris, told ESPN that there are "a good seven or eight teams" he's having discussions with about Rodrigues and hopes to have something done soon.

"There are two or three teams that we feel he's a good fit with, but there are cap restraints. There are guys trying to move [money] to make room for it," said Ferris, who took over representation of Rodrigues from Peter Fish during the offseason.

One of those teams is the Penguins, who are capped out at the moment after a summer of reuniting the band (new contracts for Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Bryan Rust) in addition to bringing on defenseman Jeff Petry. The Calgary Flames have shown interest in Rodrigues, and Ferris said they "may be in that conversation as well."

Which NHL free agents are left, and where are they going?

From past award winners to Stanley Cup champs, some difference-making veterans are still looking to sign new deals for 2022-23.

ERod is pretty useful depending on the price. Needs PP time to produce though.

 

[Kranix]

Ryan Pike just made himself look bad.
I do like Milano's current Soul Glo Eriq La Salle haircut though

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Pagnotta? His rep is pretty much in the toilet now due to that Kadri debacle.

 

[The Real JT]

Here’s one of Pagnotta’s recent hot takes.

Pagnotta makes Eklund look like f***ing Red Fischer

"acquiring" isn't a term I've seen used re signing UFAs.
no biggie, just reads misleading to me

Deals fall through all the time. Pagnotta doesn't have to wear that. He said nothing was officially signed.

What term would you use?

You wouldn't say it if you re-signed your own UFA. Other wise it's fine

Fair point that Pagnotta didn’t fully commit on the tweet I referred to.

How about this one?

 

[The Nuge]

Considering Milano’s been linked to Edmonton, it would obviously make sense he’d be a target of Treliving now

I thought P Kane was the guy in Holland's sights?

I haven't heard that interview. Link?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Freid has linked these 2 to the Flames after the Kessel signing. eRod is apparently the main target. Id be okay with that depending on price. Surprised someone like the Avs havent snatched him up to be honest.

There's probably some PP2 time kicking around.
Think Calgary would only look for one year on a sub 1.5M deal.

After the season he just had thats an absolute steal. Is worth 3-4m AAV

 

[EddieTheEagle]

Dear Brad,

Please trade Lucic to Chicago for some nice juicy picks (preferably 2023s). We want to help you pursue your dream of E-Rod / Sonny Boi.

Moistfully,

Kyle Davidson

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Do it then. What's the problem.

I don't think there's a team out there that'd be willing to give him that money.
I don't think there's a lot of money out there in general, hence why you have guys signing for so cheap.

Pagnotta: Kadri to the Isles is a formality

The Fourth Period's Dave Pagnotta joined the show to talk Patrice Bergeron re-upping with the Boston Bruins and news and notes around the NHL.

[Duck Off]

Nothing but pure speculation from DP, who’s trying to hit an easy one due to looking entirely incompetent this offseason for an “insider”. Both are two of the best remaining free agent forwards so obviously it’s safe to speculate any team still looking to add a forward would be interested in one of them.

 

[Scintillating10]

Probably Montreal looking to move a little more caproom

 

[SomeDude]

Proposal:

To Rodrigues and/or Milano: Money

To Calgary: Their services

 

[Burkeocet]

Rodrigues would be a really solid 3C but they already have that. I’m sure somebody could move to a wing though and he’d be a good pp2 guy who’s solid at both end.

I’m just surprised Milano was let walk for nothing. He just had a breakout year

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I'd imagine quite a few GM's are interested in these guys as depth signings.

 

[Jared Dunn]

I'm still shocked Milano wasn't resigned by the Ducks. Was he 100% just a leech off of Zegras?
