NHL Rumors: Sabres, Panthers, Maple Leafs, More
In today's NHL rumor rundown, there is news now that things have officially ended at the draft tables for 31 NHL franchises. What's next after every team has made their respective picks? The NHL free agency interview process has kicked off. How does that change things? Sabres Trying to Trade Ristolainen Renaud Lavoie is reporting that the Buffalo Sabres are trying to trade defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. They've been trying to all weekend. Rasmus Ristolainen (Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports) John Vogl reports that Buffalo Sabres GM Jason Botterill said that he doesn’t anticipate using a buyout to move Ristolainen's contract and that a trade should be doable over the next 24-48 hours.

2019 Columbus Blue Jackets Offseason Guide
The Columbus Blue Jackets enter a very interesting and uncertain next few weeks. It starts with the NHL Entry Draft Friday. Then free agency and the rest of the offseason come quickly behind it. What can we expect from the Blue Jackets? The thing is, I'm not sure anyone outside the walls of Nationwide Arena really knows. That's where our mystery begins. Welcome to our 2019 Columbus Blue Jackets Offseason Guide. Normally, we would do both a draft guide and an offseason guide. But given that the Blue Jackets hold just two picks as of this writing, we are combining the guides into one. The thing that makes the draft very interesting for the Blue Jackets is the amount of cap space they have. According to Cap Friendly, assuming a cap of $82 million, the Blue Jackets have about $30.7 million available to them. Even if the caps goes down to say $81.5 million, the team would still have over $30 million available. They have their own to take care of, but there's still a bunch of room...

Will the Florida Panthers successfully move James Reimer? Can Toronto move Garret Sparks? What's happening with Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky's rights? Panthers to Move James Reimer James Mirtle is reporting that the Florida Panthers are likely going to trade James Reimer or buy him out. With interest in Sergei Bobrovsky and Robert Luongo already under contract, Reimer becomes a piece that the Panthers don't need and can't afford. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers) Mirtle wonders if the Calgary Flames could be an option for Reimer. Reimer struggled last season but again, part of why the Panthers want to move him is to go after Sergei Bobrovsky. Florida believes they have a legitimate shot via free agency. The question becomes whether or not they believe...Blue Jackets Archives
