Adam Henrique wants to stay with the Edmonton Oilers, and he didn’t request a trade
Nick Alberga: There was a report that Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique told the team he’d be willing to waive his no-movement clause … The report is not true and is “bullshit.”
David Pagnotta: The not true part is correct. Henrique doesn’t want to be traded and never told the Oilers that he’d waive his NMC.
Darren Dreger: The Oilers and Henrique’s agent confirm that he didn’t say he’d waive and he doesn’t want to go anywhere.

Could the Sharks trade Kiefer Sherwood? Quick hits on the Canadiens, Blue Jackets, Senators and Stars
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: The San Jose Sharks acquired Kiefer Sherwood back on January 19th, and many assumed an extension would be far behind. But after their first contract extension talks, expectations from both sides may have been off.
If they don’t reach an extension by Friday, do the Sharks look to trade him? A source said that it’s a possibility if he’s not extended. The Sharks gave up two second-round picks for the pending UFA at a $1.5 million cap hit.
Sources say that the Montreal Canadiens continue to look at the trade market and may be looking to make a hockey trade. Moving Patrik Laine‘s salary would make sense. He’s a pending UFA. Laine’s agent has permission to talk to teams. Wonder if the Los Angeles Kings would be an option to help replace the loss of Kevin Fiala.
Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell spoke to the agents of some of his pending UFAs – Boone Jenner, Charlie Coyle and Erik Gudbranson – and talks didn’t really get far. All sides agreed to table talks until later in the season or after.
Ottawa Senators pending UFA forward Claude Giroux still thinks the Senators can make the playoffs but if they’re out of it by the deadline, would he want to chase his first Cup somewhere else? He’s from Ottawa and wants to stay, but he’s 38-years-old. He’s got a $2 million cap hit with playoff bonuses.
