NHL Shockwaves: Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov Linked to Surprising Trade Frenzy
Do the Avs play out the year with Necas and potentially lose him for nothing, or do they move him before the deadline like they did with Rantanen?
Patrik Laine seems to be falling out of favor with head coach Martin St. Louis, dating back to the end of last season. Laine’s been playing on the fourth line, while in the last season of his contract at $8.7 million. The 27-year-old could be looking for a change of scenery next season if he doesn’t turn things around.
Unanswered questions and family kept Evgeny Kuznetsov from returning to the NHL this season
Sammi Silber of The Hockey News: The 33-year-old Evgeny Kuznetsov said that he did have NHL offers, but in the end, he decided to sign with Metallurg of the KHL. He told MatchTV that he wanted to play in the KHL for at least one more year because of unanswered questions about his play.
