NHL Rumors: Panthers Selling, Oilers Big Splash, Thomas to Sabres
The Hockey Writers • • sports
Key Points:
- The Florida Panthers have shifted to a seller's mode, making pending UFAs goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and forward A.J. Greer available for trade, with Bobrovsky being a notable name on the goalie market despite his high cap hit.
- Trade discussions between the Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues over center Robert Thomas have stalled due to Buffalo's reluctance to meet the Blues' steep asking price, which reportedly includes top prospects, a roster player, and a first-round pick.
- The Colorado Avalanche may consider trading winger Valeri Nichushkin, a productive top-six forward with a $6.125 million cap hit and a modified no-trade clause, possibly signaling a desire to retool for a deeper playoff run.
