June 30, 2024 by Jim Parsons
In today’s NHL rumors rundown (part one of two), after a busy two days at the NHL Draft, teams have set themselves up to take a run at some of the bigger names in free agency. The Toronto Maple Leafs traded for the rights to Chris Tanev and it looks like they’ll get a deal done. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators will take a run at Steven Stamkos after Tampa Bay balked at a better offer to chase Jake Guentzel. Rumors are that the Edmonton Oilers have asked Evander Kane to waive his no-move clause, and the New York Rangers are trying to clear cap space and might have a frustrated Jacob Trouba on their hands.
