A Bowen Byram extension will be less than eight and more than four years
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – The picks are in episode, on a Bowen Byram extension with the Chicago Blackhawks.
“I do think we’ll see a Byronm Bowen Byram an extension. He can sign on July one, I think that’ll happen. I don’t think it’ll be an eight year deal, but I think it’ll be, the word was he was only willing to sign for four. It’s not going to be four, it’s going to be longer than that. I don’t think it’ll be eight. But it’s going to be a pretty big number I think.”
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs, Blackhawks, Carlson, and Nikishin
The Edmonton Oilers are hopeful to get an expanded Darnell Nurse list
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – The picks are in episode, on Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse. The Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins may need to move out salary first, and the Pittsburgh Penguins want salary retained.

Kyle Bukauskas: “Couple of the things to look at, Darnell Nurse. Anything new there?”
Friedman: “So, Nurse is a three-team list that he’s going to: Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia. You know, Philly, Philly, I just think money’s got to go out for him to come in.
Like I think teams have talked to them about (Rasmus) Ristolainen. As of the weekend, I heard there was nothing that really had them thrilled about it. You know, that can always change with one phone call, but kind of something had to happen before that could happen.
I think Pittsburgh was interested, but Edmonton had to take money back, which they were not willing to do. So that was the challenge there. And Boston, again, I think things would have to happen.
NHL Rumors: Werenski, Vladar, Tarasenko, and Kotkaniemi
Now, I think Edmonton is trying to get Nurse to open up his list. And the one team, even though Nurse is a lefty shot, I think, there’s a lot of word that there’s at least noise that Anaheim has interest. And Anaheim does have holes on their blue line, but at this point in time, Nurse has not agreed to that, so we’ll see where that plays out over the week.”
