“And teams started calling as soon as word got out the that this trade was happening. They had already started reaching out to Calgary about Zach Whitecloud. $2.75 million cap hit. He’s got two more years left on his contract. This is a player that’s attractive to a lot of different teams looking for a stay-at-home right-shot defenseman, and he’s going to continue to generate interest. And there’s the possibility that Calgary flips him between now and the trade deadline.”
